Magazine Overview

Title: SAUCER NEWS
Issue: VOLUME 12, NUMBER 3 (Whole Number 61)
Date: SEPTEMBER, 1965
Publisher: Official Publication of the Saucer and Unexplained Celestial Events Research Society
Editor: James W. Moseley

This issue of SAUCER NEWS is a significant one, marked by the acquisition of "Interplanetary News Service" and the integration of its subscribers. The cover prominently features Editor James W. Moseley, surrounded by books and magazines related to flying saucers, reflecting the magazine's focus on UFO phenomena and research.

Editorial Notes and Staff Changes

Editor James W. Moseley announces the purchase of "Interplanetary News Service," a flying saucer magazine previously published by Timothy Green Beckley. Subscribers to Beckley's magazine will now receive SAUCER NEWS for the remainder of their subscriptions. Timothy Green Beckley has become an Associate Editor of SAUCER NEWS, and Ted Hunt has also joined the Associate Editor staff. John J. Robinson continues as Assistant Editor for "The Searchlight," a smaller magazine also published by Beckley.

Moseley also addresses the magazine's circulation, noting that this is the third merger in three years, indicating SAUCER NEWS's growing reach. The editorial also clarifies the process for renewing subscriptions to the "Non-Scheduled Confidential Newsletter," emphasizing its role in disseminating "hot" information not suitable for regular publication.

The NICAP Controversy

A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to the controversy surrounding NICAP (National Investigations Committee On Aerial Phenomena) and its director, Richard Hall. Editor James W. Moseley, in his "Editorial," acknowledges criticism that he appears too often on the cover and too little in the magazine's content. He uses the NICAP situation as a case study.

Moseley discusses an article by Yonah ibn Aharon in the June issue that criticized NICAP's "Operation Windmill." This article generated considerable controversy, as evidenced by the "Letters to the Editor" section. Moseley states that while he doesn't agree with all points in ibn Aharon's article, many of them reflect his own experiences and views. He emphasizes that SAUCER NEWS is not a monolithic organization and encourages open disagreement.

He also references an article by Ray Palmer in "Flying Saucers" Magazine that criticizes NICAP, particularly Richard Hall's treatment of visitors to NICAP headquarters. Moseley urges readers to buy Palmer's magazine, praising its open-door policy for opinions.

Moseley recounts a personal negative experience with Richard Hall, accusing Hall of making false accusations of wiretapping and engaging in a "whispering campaign" against him and SAUCER NEWS. He threatens legal action.

Congressional Hearings and NICAP's Future

Moseley expresses strong agreement with several UFO researchers, including Yonah ibn Aharon, Ray Palmer, and Jacques Vallee, who believe that open Congressional hearings on the UFO problem would harm, rather than help, civilian UFO research. He argues that such hearings would not be taken seriously by the public, Congress, or the press, given the potential for contrary statements from scientists and military figures. Moseley suggests that if NICAP's primary goal is Congressional hearings, and "The UFO Evidence" is the means to achieve this, then NICAP should admit failure.

He criticizes NICAP's approach as not being that of a scientific research group and believes that as long as it remains committed to a narrow viewpoint, it cannot achieve anything worthwhile. He contrasts NICAP's approach with the more scientific tone of Jacques Vallee's book.

Letters to the Editor

The "Letters to the Editor" section features a diverse range of opinions and reports:

• Morry Malkin of Empire Film Studio corrects a false statement in the June issue regarding the premiere of their film about Socorro, New Mexico, requesting a retraction.
• Justin Case of Bridgeton, N. J., reports a strange phenomenon of black material falling over a four-square-mile area, offering an explanation involving strips of black material rather than rain, and suggesting a possible factory source.
• Andrew Ruiz of Thada Research Society praises SAUCER NEWS for its stimulating content and contribution to public enlightenment.
• George W. Earley, President of NICAP*CONN., rebuts an explanation from Air Force Major Jacks regarding radar-detected objects, arguing that it's inadequate and that missile/spacecraft components don't routinely break free and reenter orbit.
• Richard Brune of Natick, Mass., expresses sorrow over the death of Mr. George Adamski and encourages contributions to a Science of Life School he wished to establish.
• R. C. Stephen, Jr. of Arlington, Texas, questions the circumstances of finding a mass of expensive fiberglass in a particular location, despite chemical analysis confirming it as fiberglass.
• Patricia Jones of Seattle, Washington, congratulates the magazine for printing Yonah ibn Aharon's article and criticizes Keyhoe's policy of trying to prevent Adamski from speaking.
• Joseph S. Monger of Los Angeles, California, praises ibn Aharon's article as one of the finest he has read.
• Louis Trifon of Plainview, New York, strongly criticizes ibn Aharon's article as "silly and sarcastic nonsense," defending NICAP and questioning ibn Aharon's claims of conspiracy and Air Force involvement. He threatens to cancel his subscription if such articles continue.
• William J. Dunn, Jr. of Union, Maine, agrees with some of ibn Aharon's points but questions NICAP's transparency, particularly regarding financial reports.
• George M. Parvo of Palisades Park, N. J., finds the "Operation Windmill" article below Mr. ibn Aharon's usual standard and expresses hope that SAUCER NEWS will buy out other magazines to reduce confusion in the field.
• Ronald Tarr of Rockport, Mass., finds the NICAP article "marvelous sarcasm" but doubts its accuracy, suggesting that NICAP's focus on the Air Force alienates non-believers. He praises the book review and a humor column.
• Peter Thompson of Cleveland, Ohio, agrees with Jacques Vallee that NICAP lacks solid scientific proof and should focus more on data gathering.
• Jerome Clark of Brookings, S. D., defends NICAP against ibn Aharon's criticism, stating that the organization deserves better treatment. He praises Gene Steinberg's book review and criticizes Peter Kor's article for its tone.

Laboratory Analysis of Unknown Fiber

A report details the laboratory investigation of unknown fibers found on a hillside. The fibers are described as having a circular cross-section, resembling fiberglass, and exhibiting characteristics consistent with an "economic" grade of common fiberglass. The conclusion is that the "unknown" fibers are of the same physical characteristics as common fiberglass.

Air Force Conclusions on UFO Films

Sara B. Hunt from the Office of Information at the Pentagon provides Air Force evaluations of UFO films:

• A film taken at Luke AFB, Arizona, on March 3, 1953, was interpreted as vapor trails from high-flying aircraft.
• Films obtained from the Tremonton, Utah case (July 2, 1952) were concluded to be caused by seagulls soaring in thermal air currents.
• Films from the Great Falls, Montana case (August 10, 1950) were identified as two F-94 fighter aircraft.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue heavily features discussions on the role and perceived shortcomings of NICAP, particularly its director Richard Hall. The editorial stance, as articulated by James W. Moseley, is one of promoting open discussion and criticism within the UFO field, even if it means challenging established organizations like NICAP. There's a clear skepticism towards NICAP's effectiveness and its approach to research, advocating for a more scientific and less dogmatic methodology. The magazine positions itself as a platform for diverse viewpoints, contrasting its approach with what it perceives as NICAP's restrictive policies. The theme of potential government cover-ups or involvement in UFO phenomena is also present, particularly in the context of analyzing Air Force explanations for UFO sightings.

Title: SAUCER NEWS
Issue: 11
Date: June 1965
Publisher: SAUCER NEWS
Country: USA
Language: English
Cover Headline: LITTLE MEN FROM MARS

This issue of SAUCER NEWS presents a collection of articles and reviews focusing on UFO phenomena, extraterrestrial theories, and critiques of ufological research. The cover features an article by David S. Heeren titled "LITTLE MEN FROM MARS."

Reader Correspondence and Editorial Notes

The issue begins with reader correspondence. One reader thanks the publication for its June issue and mentions recovering from a serious heart attack. Another reader, Donald H. Menzel of Harvard College Observatory, points to articles in "Flying Saucer Review" that address fallacies in "Orthoteny." A particularly unusual letter is presented from Richard Ogden of Seattle, Washington, who claims to be influencing Sandra Stevens (Moseley) through magnetic radiation and predicts the end for "Moseley." The editor notes that Ogden had previously confessed to writing hoax letters and that his current letter, accompanied by a strange drawing, is considered ridiculous and in poor taste.

Editorial notes continue from a previous page, addressing the need for zip codes for mailing and requesting saucer clippings from readers to supplement their press clipping services. They also mention that receiving two copies of the issue indicates a duplication in their files.

Feature Article: LITTLE MEN FROM MARS by David S. Heeren

David S. Heeren's article posits that Earth is destined to become an "old planet" due to resource depletion and environmental degradation, mirroring the fate of Mars. He theorizes that "saucer men" originate from Mars, a dying planet, and have developed advanced technology to survive. Heeren dismisses theories of extraterrestrial origins from other solar systems due to the vast distances involved. He believes that Mars, with its straight-line markings interpreted as canals, must be managing its water resources meticulously. He suggests that Martians might live in elaborate "greenhouses" to support life and counterbalance oxygen depletion. Heeren assumes the existence of "little men" based on consistent descriptions from numerous witnesses, noting their physical characteristics: four to five feet tall, dark complexion, distorted human-like features, long arms, short legs, agile, strong, and wearing tight space suits. They are also described as uttering unintelligible sounds.

Book Review: ANATOMY OF A PHENOMENON by Jacques Vallee

Reviewed by James W. Moseley, this section praises Jacques Vallee's book "Anatomy of a Phenomenon" as a milestone in UFO literature for its objective examination of UFO evidence by a scientist. The review contrasts Vallee with other authors, such as Jung (psychological approach), Menzel (anti-interplanetary), Ruppelt (Air Force viewpoint), Michel (straight-line hypothesis), and Lorenzen (focused on "little men"). Vallee, a consultant for NASA's "Mars Map" project, is noted for his open mind and scientific stature.

The book's first part details historical and contemporary UFO sightings, including a 1897 incident of a cow being "kidnapped" cow in Kansas and a 1954 French flap involving a mare being lifted by a saucer. It also covers the 1955 Hopkinsville, Kentucky, landing and a 1917 European event witnessed by 70,000 people.

The second part of Vallee's book offers criticisms of present UFO research and suggestions for improvement. Vallee believes UFOs have objective reality and leans towards the interplanetary hypothesis but remains open-minded due to the lack of "physical evidence." He is critical of the Air Force's research methods, particularly their classification of reports as "insufficient data," arguing that this approach is unscientific. Vallee also criticizes the tendency to focus on the most publicized UFO reports rather than the most scientifically valuable ones, a mistake he attributes to both Menzel and the Air Force. He is particularly hard on cultists and organizations like NICAP, questioning the validity of their claims for a Congressional hearing on UFOs.

Vallee proposes the establishment of a permanent research bureau, staffed by six to twelve civilian researchers, to work with the Air Force and analyze the UFO problem comprehensively. This bureau would have access to non-classified Air Force files and the ability to examine foreign reports and consult with foreign researchers.

A minor criticism of Vallee's book is its attribution of the extraterrestrial visitation theory in Biblical times to Russian scientists Agrest and Misraki, overlooking earlier articles by Yonah ibn Aharon in SAUCER NEWS.

The Recent Literature of Extraterrestrialism (Part Two) by Y. N. ibn Aharon

This article reviews Brinsley le Poer Trench's book "The Sky People." The author, Y. N. ibn Aharon, criticizes Trench, the son of an Earl and former editor of "Flying Saucer Review," for his ethics and for presenting a "poorly contrived re-hash" of Mme. Blavatsky's interpretation of the Book of Genesis. Ibn Aharon notes that Trench's work is similar to Desmond Leslie's earlier work and that Trench fails to cite ibn Aharon's own essays on Extraterrestrialism, while including the Soviet plagiarist Agrest. The article also points out an error in Trench's interpretation of Hebrew words related to pronouns.

Advertisements

The issue includes advertisements for a "Special Non-Scheduled Confidential Newsletter" for $1.00, requests for specific back issues of SAUCER NEWS, a wanted ad for a flying saucer diagram, information about the THADA U.F.O. RESEARCH SOCIETY, and a notice about receiving a free copy of the July issue of the "Interplanetary Intelligence Report."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature and origin of UFOs, with a particular focus on the "little men" hypothesis and the possibility of Martian origins. There is a strong emphasis on the need for more rigorous scientific methodology in ufology, with critiques of existing research organizations and their approaches. The editorial stance appears to favor objective, scientific investigation over sensationalism or cult-like adherence to specific theories. The magazine actively solicits reader contributions and aims to provide a platform for discussion and analysis of UFO phenomena, while also promoting its own publications and related materials.

SAUCER NEWS, Issue 21, is a quarterly publication from the Saucer and Unexplained Celestial Events Research Society (S.A.U.C.E.R.S.). The issue is primarily composed of "RECENT NEWS" reports detailing various alleged UFO sightings and incidents from around the globe, alongside commentary and analysis.

Article: Trench's Distinction is Incorrect

This section critiques the work of an author named Trench, whose interpretations of biblical texts regarding extraterrestrial involvement are challenged. The author argues that Trench incorrectly identifies "Jehovah" as an extraterrestrial race or society, asserting that Jehovah is a single, well-defined personality within the biblical narrative. Trench's hypothesis that the Garden of Eden was on Mars, based on the idea of canals, is dismissed as lacking a proper understanding of Hebrew, which indicates the Garden was a plot bordered by four rivers with sources within its confines. The author also criticizes Trench for confusing Jehovah with the Great Elohim and for accepting the idea that Noah's Deluge was a purely local phenomenon, a concept attributed to the pseudo-Semitic Albright school. Furthermore, Trench's treatment of Atlantis and his equation of Sky Kings with the Serpent People, whom he believes had compassion for humanity, are also criticized as erroneous.

Recent News Reports

Martians Watching Us While We Watch Them?

This report notes that while the Mariner 4 probe was being tracked, a UFO was observed hovering 5,000 feet above the airport in Camberra, Australia. The UFO reportedly caused unusual difficulty for the tracking station. The object was seen by air traffic control personnel and appeared as a glowing object. It disappeared when an Air Force plane was sent to identify it. Similar irregularities were reported at the Goldstone tracking station during Mars photography.

Saucer Landing in Australia

Three residents near Mackay, Australia, claim a UFO landed about 400 yards from their hotel. The object was described as an upturned saucer with a circular platform, three triangular legs, and contracting/expanding globe-like lights. It was visible for over 30 minutes, made some noise, and left at high speed. The witnesses reported a burned circle 20 feet in diameter and scorched treetops, though local police confirmed the markings but other authorities found no physical evidence.

Little Men Land in Formosa, Argentina

A newspaper report from Argentina details a flying saucer landing near an Indian village. The spaceship, described as aluminum-colored, landed after making several low-altitude passes. Three small figures surrounded by blue phosphorescence emerged. The creatures retreated to their craft and departed at high speed, enveloped in blinding light.

Saucer Landing in France

A farmer in Valensole, France, reported a UFO taking off from his field. The craft was described as a "big rugby ball" with four metal legs, and a small humanoid creature stood next to it. The UFO departed suddenly, leaving tracks from its legs on the ground, which was packed down like concrete.

Second Annual Saucer Convention in Cleveland

The Second Annual Congress of Scientific Ufologists was held in Cleveland, Ohio, with approximately twenty-five delegates. The convention included closed sessions focused on promoting understanding among non-contactee groups and resulted in a Code of Ethics for Ufology. Open sessions featured speakers such as James Moseley and Yonah ibn Aharon.

Scientists in Antarctica See and Photograph UFO

Scientists at three Antarctic bases reported seeing and photographing a UFO that moved at "frightening speed" and emitted light of various colors.
