Lone Watcher Sights UFO Over Arkansas
A report details a sighting by Mr. Lucius Farish over Plumerville, Arkansas, on January 16, 1963, at approximately 3:55 P.M. CST. Mr. Farish observed two unknown aerial objects at an estimated altitude of 6,000 to 8,000 feet. The objects moved in a southerly direction, almost due South. Mr. Farish sent a detailed report to ROAP headquarters, noting that conventional explanations like aircraft did not fit the observed phenomena. The source of this information is a letter sent to ROAP by Mr. Lucius Farish.
"UFOs Interplanetary" Concludes Group
This section summarizes a press release from January 23, 1963, from Woburn, Massachusetts. The Massachusetts & Rhode Island Two-State UFO Study Group for Adults has concluded that unidentified flying objects are, in reality, intelligently controlled machines from outer space conducting a scientific study of our planet. This conclusion is the result of a probe initiated by the group in 1959. The source is a press release attributed to George Fawcett.
Correction
An announcement corrects a previous announcement regarding Gene Duplantier's new address. His new address is 17 Shetland Street, Willowdale, Ontario, Canada, not 23 Shetland Street.
Two New Members in UUA
The Alliance division of the UUA proudly announced the addition of two new member-groups: Advanced Structures, represented by Jack Bartlett of El Cajon, California, and the Colorado Aerial Phenomena Group, represented by Thomas K.

New Publication: "The UFO Informer"
Following a poll by the newspaper committee, the UUA has decided to publish a monthly publication as an added service to its members.

Second UFOlogy Telephone Conference
