Magazine Overview
Title: THE WEEKLY RESEARCH MAGAZINE'S LOOK-SEE
Issue: Number 6, Volume 8
Date: May 11, 1963
Publisher: UUA PUBLICATION
This issue of Look-See, a weekly research magazine focused on UFOs, covers a range of topics including a perceived decline in UFO research enthusiasm, a significant astronomical discovery, and new developments in UFO-related publications.
Serious Lag in Research
The magazine reports a "serious lag" in the enthusiasm of UFO investigators and a wave of resignations among key UFO leaders. This situation has caused considerable worry and consternation within UFO circles. To counteract this setback and prevent a major crisis, the article calls for a vigorous drive to reignite interest in UFO phenomena. This report is attributed to "reliable sources" and dated April 17th, 1963, from Atlanta, Georgia.
New Planet is Out of Solar System
Under the heading "NEW PLANET IS OUT OF SOLAR SYSTEM," the publication details a significant astronomical discovery made on April 18th, 1963, by a Swathmore College astronomer. The first planet-sized body reported outside of the solar system was discovered orbiting Bernard's Star, located 36 billion miles away. The discovery was made by Dr. Peter Van DeKamp, Director of Swathmore's Sproul Observatory. The new planet has been named Bernard's Star B. The source for this information is cited as The New York Times and The Atlanta Journal.
Special Announcements
Several special announcements are made:
- Audio-Informer: A taped edition of the "UFO Informer," formatted like a radio program, is scheduled to be released soon by the UUA project committee. This "audio-informer" will be circulated among UFOlogists with tape recorders and will function as the official audio organ of the United UFOlogical Association. The first edition will feature an interview with Bob Miller of the United Research Council of UFOlogy, hosted by Ricky Hilberg.
- News Hints: Readers are advised to look for the release of several books by various UFO group leaders between the current date and October.
