Magazine Overview
This document is a single page from the "THE WEEKLY RESEARCH MAGAZINE'S LOOK-SEE SUMMER EDITION", Volume 9, Number 3, dated June 13, 1963. It features an editorial titled "UNITED UFOLOGY-STILL A DREAM!" by Keith Jenkins, a member of the UUA Court Committee. The issue also lists Ricky Hilberg as the summer editor and Allen Greenfield as the regular editor.
Editorial: UNITED UFOLOGY-STILL A DREAM!
The editorial by Keith Jenkins addresses the perceived disunity within the United UFOlogical Association (UUA), which was formed on December 22, 1962, through the merger of the International UFO Information Exchange Alliance and the National Aeropenomena Research League. Jenkins expresses strong disappointment with the current state of the UUA, stating it is "no more united than a coop full of hens." He directly blames the members, including Allen Greenfield and Alan Katz, for the organization's lack of progress, describing their efforts as a "big fat goose-egg."
Jenkins criticizes the members for hoarding their UFO sighting information, keeping it within their personal bulletins rather than sharing it with the UUA. He suggests this behavior stems from a "Mr.Ego" complex, where individuals feel their sightings are exclusively theirs to use and that others must ask permission to use them. This possessiveness, he argues, has led to a considerable decrease in the number of sightings reported in "Look-See" over the past three months.
He acknowledges his own guilt in not fully cooperating but urges a collective effort to "throw Ego out on his ears, and start UNITING." Jenkins believes that only through genuine unity can the UUA become truly united and effective. He emphasizes the importance of keeping members engaged and active by providing them with information, suggesting that the UUA can serve this purpose. The editorial concludes with a passionate plea to "pitch in and UNITE!!!!"
Summer Editor's Endorsement
The summer editor fully endorses Jenkins's sentiments, noting that they also frequently observe member-groups using sightings in their bulletins that are never submitted to the UUA. The editor expresses hope that the UUA will adopt a "get-tough policy" to safeguard itself and the broader field of UFO research. Further discussion on this matter is promised for the future.
