Magazine Overview
Title: SAUCER NEWS
Issue: Non-Scheduled Newsletter #12
Date: May 10th, 1961
Publisher: THE SAUCER AND UNEXPLAINED CELESTIAL EVENTS RESEARCH SOCIETY
Editor: James W. Moseley
This document is a non-scheduled newsletter from SAUCER NEWS, intended to provide "inside" information about flying saucers that might be considered "too hot to handle" for the regular publication. It is being sent to subscribers and others who have written in recently.
Publication Status and Editor's Activities
The editor, James W. Moseley, addresses a backlog of mail and rumors, assuring readers that the magazine is not "hushed up" nor is it folding. He explains that until recently, he was involved in business in South America, which caused significant delays in publishing SAUCER NEWS. While usually published quarterly, the schedule has fallen behind. The March issue, normally out in late February, is now being prepared for a June mailing, and the June issue is expected in July. After this, the publication aims to return to its regular schedule of September, December, etc.
The editor clarifies that his business in South America was unrelated to flying saucers and denies claims that he is a secret agent for the Air Force or CIA. He announces plans to write a book that will detail his South American activities, with more information to be released in future SAUCER NEWS issues.
Literary Contest and Saucer Clippings
The newsletter expresses gratitude for the strong response to the Literary Contest announced in the December 1960 issue. Due to the large volume of submissions, the results will be announced in the June issue.
Additionally, an offer is made for over 7,000 saucer clippings from 1954-1961, which are described as an invaluable contribution to any researcher's files. Interested parties are urged to contact the society immediately.
Newsletter Subscription
These newsletters are issued only when worthwhile material becomes available. Unlike the regular magazine, they often contain "too hot to handle" facts. A one-dollar payment places individuals on a special newsletter mailing list indefinitely.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The primary theme is the dissemination of "inside" or sensitive information regarding flying saucers, distinct from the regular publication. The editorial stance is one of transparency regarding publication delays and personal activities, while maintaining a level of mystery around the South American business and the nature of the "too hot to handle" information. The editor actively seeks contributions from researchers, as evidenced by the literary contest and the offer of saucer clippings.
The truth is that until very recently your Editor was in business in South America, and for the past several years he has been attempting to publish SAUCER NEWS every three months, even while being away as long as four or five months at a time.
