Cover Story: Californian Sees Object Over Moon

The lead story details a sighting by Aurelio Mancera of Lakeside, California, on January 21, 1963. Mancera reported observing a shiny object near the moon in the early morning. Initially appearing as a star, it did not disappear as the sun rose. Mancera estimated the object to be "about six feet above the top of the moon" and described it as "kept turning around," at times growing long and turning its end towards him, looking like "a spot." Gerald Owens, supervising meteorologist-technician at the U.S. Weather Bureau's Brown Field office, suggested it was possible the object was a weather balloon. The source for this report is "The Valley News," with reporting by Jack Dale Bartlett of Advanced Structures.

New Members

The UUA proudly announced two new members: C.O.I.A.P. of San Antonio, Texas, and the Unidentified Flying Objects Research Committee of Akron, Ohio.

Area Rumbles Pose Puzzle

This section reports on unexplained rumblings that startled San Diego area residents on January 29, 1963. Citizens reported hearing sounds and feeling vibrations, with many believing they were earthquakes. However, Fred Robinson, a seismologist at Point Loma, stated his instruments recorded no quakes. The noises were heard intermittently throughout the day from Point Loma and sounded like gunfire. The Navy reported no firing. The source cited is "The San Diego Union," with reporting by Richard Stumb.

Special Announcements

Probability of Life in the Galaxy

Scientists are increasingly recognizing the likelihood of abundant life in the Milky Way Galaxy. Professor Lloyd Motz of Columbia University estimates that each sun-like star hosts three life-supporting planets. Based on the estimated 200 million sun-like stars in the galaxy, this suggests a potential for 600 million planets harboring intelligent life. Professor Motz presented these findings at a meeting of the Institute of Aerospace Science.

UFO Sighting

On the morning of January 24, 1963, two individuals witnessed a star-like UFO described as round and white. One witness, Mr. John Shannon, observed the object through binoculars and expressed certainty that it was not an airplane. The source is IAPA, with reporting by Dale Rettig.

Editorial and News Submission Changes

Look-See magazine will no longer publish editorials. All future editorials should be submitted to the UUA monthly publication, "The UFO Informer," edited by Ed Babcock Jr., located at 15 Tyndall Road, Kendall Park, New Jersey. News items, announcements, and news clippings should continue to be sent to Look-See, c/o ROAP, 2875 Sequoyah Drive, N.W., Atlanta 5, Georgia.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine focuses on UFO sightings and unexplained phenomena, particularly within the United States. It presents witness accounts, scientific speculation on extraterrestrial life, and reports on unusual events like unexplained rumblings. The publication also serves as a conduit for announcements and information related to UFO research organizations, indicating a commitment to disseminating news within the UFO community. The shift in editorial submission policy suggests a move towards consolidating editorial content within a dedicated UUA publication while maintaining Look-See as a news and announcement platform.
