Editorial #4: SAUCERS, SPACE & SCIENCE
By Gene Duplantier
Gene Duplantier, the editor, reflects on the origins of his publication, 'SAUCERS, SPACE & SCIENCE' (SS&S). He recalls a wave of saucer sightings in 1957 across the U.S. and Canada. At that time, he observed a lack of UFO bulletins in Canada, while the U.S. and other countries had organizations to address the phenomenon. Feeling it was his responsibility to initiate efforts, Duplantier started SS&S in November 1957 to report on sightings and related phenomena.
The editorial highlights that SS&S is now in its sixth year of operation, reporting facts gathered from numerous sources. The publication aims to be a comprehensive resource, including Fortean items, space humor, monster stories, ghost tales, and listings of new space bulletins, movies, and records. It also features articles by well-known writers in the UFO field, positioning itself as one of the leading UFO periodicals.
Information is provided for individuals interested in subscribing to 'SAUCERS, SPACE & SCIENCE'. They are directed to write to Gene Duplantier at 23 Shetland Street, WILLOWDALE, Ontario, Canada. The cost for sample copies is 35 cents each. A subscription for 3 issues is $1, and for 6 issues, it is $2. Orders are promised to be processed and mailed promptly.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The issue emphasizes organizational outreach and participation within the UUA and ALLIANCE frameworks. The editorial strongly advocates for the study and reporting of UFO phenomena, positioning 'SAUCERS, SPACE & SCIENCE' as a dedicated platform for disseminating information and fostering awareness in the field. The stance is one of proactive engagement and information sharing regarding unexplained aerial phenomena.
In 1957 a wave of saucer sightings engulfed the U.S. and Canada. At this time I realized I knew of no UFO bulletin in Canada at the time but the U.S. had many organizations and other countries in the world had at least one to cope with the situation. I felt it was up to me to start the ball rolling and to inform these other groups about sightings and related phenomena in nada.
Key Incidents
