Magazine Overview
This document is issue number 2 of Volume 9 of "The Weekly Research Magazine's Summer Look-See," a UUA Publication, dated June 4, 1963. Ricky Hilberg serves as the summer editor, with Allen Greenfield as the regular editor. The magazine focuses on UFO-related news and events.
Seen in Summer Skies
The lead story details sightings on May 15th over Biloxi, Mississippi, and parts of Alabama and Florida. Residents observed strange lights and unusual patterns in the sky. Officials from Elgin Air Force base attributed these phenomena to "chemical trails" from research rockets. Among the witnesses was Allen Greenfield, the regular editor.
Information Wanted
The publication is seeking information regarding the status of "Project UFO" from Jacksonville, Florida. The postal authorities have returned all "Look-Sees" sent to this member-group because their address is no longer valid.
UUA Welcomes Two New Member-Groups
The UUA (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Association) announces the addition of two new member groups: UFOlogy-Miami, headed by William Dunn Jr., and the new Dover, Ohio branch of the United Research Council of UFOlogy, directed by William J. Clinton.
1964 Congress of UFOlogy
Plans are underway for a scientific congress of UFOlogists to be held in Cleveland, Ohio, in July 1964. The stated goal is to discuss UFOlogy problems and foster cooperation among scientific groups. This event is distinguished from typical "contact conventions" and is described as a scientific gathering dedicated to solving the UFO mystery. Groups unable to attend in person are encouraged to send a representative from the Cleveland area or participate remotely via tape or phone. Details can be obtained from Summer Look-See headquarters.
Submissions and Broadcast Information
Readers are encouraged to send sightings, clippings, and comments to the Summer Look-See headquarters located at 3403 West 119th Street, Cleveland 11, Ohio. Ricky Hilberg is listed as the summer editor and Chairman of the Project Committee.
Additionally, the magazine promotes listening to KYW radio's "UFOlogy Roundtable" program, which airs on Thursdays approximately twice a month from 11:05 AM to 12:00 PM on KYW in Cleveland, Ohio (1100 K.C. on the dial). The next scheduled broadcast is Thursday, June 13th.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The magazine appears to be a bulletin for UFO enthusiasts and researchers, focusing on current sightings, organizational news within the UFOlogy community, and upcoming events. The editorial stance promotes scientific inquiry and cooperation within the field, as evidenced by the emphasis on the 1964 congress being a "scientific gathering" rather than a "contact convention."
This will not be the usual "contact convention" heald many times in the past, but a scientific gathering, devoted to solving the UFO mystery.
Key Incidents
Residents reported seeing strange lights and unusual patterns in the sky, attributed by Elgin Air Force base officials to 'chemical trails' from research rockets. Witnesses included Newspaper Committee Chairman Allen Greenfield.
