Magazine Overview

Sky Lights Aver Police

A report received by the Fond du Lac Commonwealth Reporter on April 18th, 1963, details an event from Wednesday, April 17th, at night. Patrons at an outdoor theatre in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, reported seeing 20 lighted objects. These objects were described as sometimes being in formation and racing from horizon to horizon, generally in an East-West direction. The report noted that the objects made sharp turns and that the lights were sometimes white and at other times crimson. Authorities were reportedly skeptical until a detective investigating the reports also witnessed the lights. A URCU investigator on the scene expressed skepticism, suggesting the objects might have been supersonic bombers seen during mid-air refueling operations. The source for this report is cited as Dennis Davison from The Fond du Lac Commonwealth Reporter, and also The Milwaukee Journal.

Lifeless World Offers Key

This section reports on a discovery made on April 27th, 1963, in Atlanta, Georgia. As previously reported in the magazine, a planet named Bernard's Star B has been discovered revolving around the star known as Bernards Star, approximately six light years from Earth. The discovery of this planet outside our solar system supports the scientific suspicion that the Universe is abundant with billions of other planets. According to the April 27th Science Newsletter, one of the world's most respected scientific news publications, astronomers estimate that over a hundred million of these planets may have some form of life, with some potentially harboring life as advanced or more advanced than human beings. However, Bernard's Star B itself contains no life as we know it. Its estimated surface temperature is 300 degrees below zero. The source for this information is Science News Letter 83:261.
