Featured Articles and Sightings

SAUCER-SEER FEARS REDICULE

• Location: Sunnyvale, California
• Date: May 23, 1963
• Witness: Mrs. Joseph Zelenka, wife of a Lockheed engineer.
• Description: Mrs. Zelenka reported sighting a UFO described as "blue or deep turquois" that hovered at tree-top height, appearing to be the size of "a plate." Her two children also witnessed the object. It hovered for two to three minutes before rising vertically and disappearing. Mrs. Zelenka expressed hesitation in reporting due to fear of ridicule, stating, "I'm a down to earth woman, and I don't want to be made out a crackpot." A local police officer, who did not see the object, speculated it might have been a "round kite," but declined further speculation. A nearby airfield had no knowledge of the object.

Summer Editor Sights UFO

• Date: June 16th
• Witness: Ricky Hilberg, Summer Look-See editor.
• Description: Hilberg observed a blue-white object traveling ESE at approximately 10 per second. The object, as large as a pinhead, was pulsating very rapidly, too fast for a satellite or plane. Mr. Allen Mamak, project chairman of the Cleveland UFOlogy Project, alerted Hilberg to an object in the Eastern skies. Hilberg, along with his parents, sighted the object. It was first sighted at an altitude of 80° and lost at 30° due to city lights and haze. Hilberg attempted to photograph the object with a 35mm camera, but the photos did not turn out. The sighting occurred at 10:57 P.M. and lasted for 50 seconds.

ASI DIRECTOR SIGHTS UFO

• Date: April 16, 1963
• Time: 3:05 P.M.
• Witness: Jack Bartlett, director of ASI.
• Description: Bartlett sighted 3 UFOs in a triangular formation traveling from 270° to 290° in approximately 1.5 minutes.

ROPO Vice-President sights UFO

• Date: June 21, 1963
• Location: Cedar Rapids, Nebraska
• Witness: Tom Rupprecht, Vice-President of the Research Organization on Phenomenal Occurrences (ROPO).
• Description: Rupprecht saw a pouch-shaped UFO that pulsated. The object was in sight for about 3 seconds before it "dematerialized." The time was 8:15 P.M. An illustration of the UFO is included, showing a "silver colored" top and a "dark area" below.

UFO Over Cedar Rapids Neb.

• Date: June 3, 1963
• Location: Lyle, Minnesota
• Description: A huge UFO landed briefly near Lyle, Minnesota, a small town close to the Iowa border. It then took off again and has not been seen since. "Experts" reportedly called it a meteor or satellite. This report is from I.N.S.

SEES V SHAPED CLOUD

• Date: May 23, 1962
• Location: Gastonia, North Carolina
• Witness: Wayne Conard.
• Description: Conard observed a V-shaped cloud-like light that appeared in the northeast and traveled north for five minutes before beginning to fade. The witness, a resident of Gastonia, does not believe the object was a weather rocket, as reported in the paper, noting there was no bright light at the point of observation.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring theme throughout this issue is the reporting of UFO and UAP sightings from various locations across the United States. The magazine adopts a stance of documenting these events through witness accounts, often including details about the object's appearance, behavior, and duration of sighting. There is an emphasis on collecting and disseminating this information to the public, as evidenced by the call for submissions and the inclusion of reports from multiple organizations. The magazine also touches upon the scientific and investigative aspects, with mentions of projects like the Cleveland UFOlogy Project and ASI's work on detectors. The editorial stance appears to be one of open reporting and information sharing within the UFO community, while also acknowledging potential public skepticism, as highlighted by Mrs. Zelenka's quote.
