Britain: A Historic Step Forward

Two British Alliance Member-Groups, along with six other British UFO investigative bodies, convened to form the British UFO Association. Mr. G.N.P. Stephenson of LUFORO was appointed secretary. The participating groups included LUFORO, D.I.G.A.P., the Anglo-Polish U.F.O. Research Club, British Flying Saucer Bureau, Cheltenham Flying Saucer Group, Scottish U.F.O. Research Society, Stratford-On-Avon U.F.O. Group, and Tyneside U.F.O. Society. The magazine's publication, Look-See, extended a cordial welcome to this new association and invited its members to join the alliance in its efforts towards international UFO group unity.

UFO and Shock Wave Pose California Puzzle

This article reports on an incident that occurred around metropolitan San Diego, California, on November 15, 1962. Mysterious shock waves and a saucer-shaped UFO were observed over a wide area. Patrolman Ralph G. Breitsch of Chula Vista described seeing a fiery-tailed object traverse the southern sky from East to West before plunging into the sea. Numerous residents in the area reported experiencing 'window-rattling' and other phenomena, which police attributed to 'something like a sonic boom.' Mrs. John Brown of Del Mar reported a glowing, saucer-shaped object that appeared to hover over the San Diego River bed. Both the Navy and Air Force stated that there were no unusual flight activities in the San Diego area at the time of these reports. The source for this report is attributed to Jack Dale Bartlett.
