Article 1: Big Bear Lake, California - November 10, 1962

This section reports on a series of mysterious rock falls occurring at the home of the W.M. Lowe family in Big Bear Lake, California. The phenomenon had been ongoing for four months, with rocks raining down on the house and surrounding area (approximately the size of two city blocks) about four times a week, both day and night. The rocks were described as being up to four inches long. The incident resulted in broken windows, damage to the house, and a dented police car roof. Despite police investigations, no acceptable explanations had been found.

Article 2: (Editorial) The Flying Saucer Research Organization

This is the first in a series of editorials by member-groups, intended to be up to half a page long and cover any phase of UFOlogy. Submissions are to be sent to ALLIANCE, c/o ROAP, 2875 Sequoyah Drive, N.W., Atlanta 5, Georgia.

This particular editorial is written by Keith Jenkins, Secretary-Treasurer of the Flying Saucer Research Organization (F.S.R.O.), based in Carlstadt, N.J.

• Key Points from the Editorial:
• Organization Founding: The F.S.R.O. was established in August 1962.
• Membership: It has approximately 40 members, with a membership fee of $0.50 per annum.
• Publication: The organization publishes a bi-monthly mimeographed bulletin that includes highlights of recent saucer news and book reviews. They aim to include news directly from members but also use content from 'Look-See'.
• Member Engagement: A significant problem is the lack of interest from members, with less than one-fifth contributing news or opinions. Jenkins appeals for members to write and share their beliefs about flying saucers.
• New Initiatives:
• Investigations Bureau: This bureau is composed of a chief investigator, a photographic investigator, an astronomical investigator, and four special investigators who periodically receive information about sightings and offer opinions. This initiative has reportedly promoted interest.
• Regional Representatives: The F.S.R.O. plans to appoint a representative in every state where they have a member to investigate local reports, with the goal of further promoting interest.
• Conclusion: Jenkins concludes by stating there is little more to report and hopes the information shared is useful.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine appears to focus on unexplained phenomena, particularly UFO sightings and related events, as evidenced by the cover story on mysterious rock falls and the editorial from a UFO research organization. The editorial stance, as presented by Keith Jenkins, emphasizes the importance of member participation, direct investigation, and the dissemination of information through publications and a structured research bureau. There is a clear call for more active engagement from members to further the goals of UFO research. The publication seems to serve as a platform for sharing news, opinions, and findings within the UFOlogy community.
