THE WEEKLY RESEARCH MAGAZINE'S LOOK-SEE

Magazine Overview

Title: THE WEEKLY RESEARCH MAGAZINE'S LOOK-SEE
Volume: 6
Issue: 6
Date: December 10, 1962
Headline: UNITY: AT LAST REALITY

This issue of The Weekly Research Magazine's Look-See focuses on organizational developments within the UFOlogical community and a specific sighting report.

Unification of NARL and Alliance

The lead story details a significant step forward in UFOlogical organization with the unification of the National Aerophenomena Research League (NARL) and the Alliance into a new entity called the United UFOlogical Association. This agreement was formalized through a letter from Alan Katz, Director of NARL, to the editor of Look-See, dated December 10, 1962.

Structure of the United UFOlogical Association

The proposed structure retains NARL and Alliance as divisional names within the larger association. A key aspect of the leadership structure is the absence of over-all leaders. Instead, each division (Alliance and NARL) will be composed of several sub-divisions, each with its own chairman or president. The proposal outlines specific sub-divisions for each group:

• Under the Alliance: International Coordinating Committee; Newspaper Committee; General Committee; Court; Project Committee.
• Under NARL: Tape Library; Ground-watching Team; Publicity Committee; General Committee; Project Committee; Court.

A more detailed explanation of these sub-divisions is promised for the next issue of Look-See. Member groups are urged to ratify and cooperate with this new program, and those wishing to join a particular committee are instructed to write to the respective Committee Chairmen, whose names will be announced soon.

Ground "Skydive" Watchers See UFO

A report from East Orwell, Ohio, details a UFO sighting that occurred on Sunday, November 25, 1962. While skywatchers were positioned to observe skydiver Kurt Warren, they witnessed a "shining object" in the air near the plane from which he was to jump.

Description of the Sighting

The hovering object was described as "delta-shaped" and "glowing." Its size was estimated to be "the size of a small cargo plane." The skywatchers observed the UFO for approximately five minutes before it suddenly disappeared in a blinding flash of white light. No sound was associated with the sighting. A subsequent check confirmed that no other aircraft were present in the area at the time. Notably, the skydiver himself, Kurt Warren, reported seeing nothing unusual before his jump.

The source for this report is cited as Ed Babcock Jr. of N.J.A.A.P.
