Magazine Overview
Title: SAUCER NEWS
Issue Date: November 10th, 1965
Publisher: SAUCER AND UNEXPLAINED CELESTIAL EVENTS RESEARCH SOCIETY
Editor: JAMES W. MOSELEY
Type: Non-Scheduled Newsletter #25
This issue of Saucer News presents a collection of unusual and intriguing reports related to UFOs and unexplained celestial events, as gathered from 'the grapevine.' The newsletter emphasizes that while names and identifying details have been deleted from these reports for confidentiality, they represent some of the most unusual cases received recently. The publication aims to share these extraordinary accounts with its readership.
Key Reports and Incidents
Air Force Base Landing (April 15th, 1953)
The newsletter leads with a report of a mysterious saucer, approximately thirty feet in diameter, landing at a midwestern United States Air Force base. Startled personnel witnessed three 'little men' disembark from the craft. One of the beings reportedly produced an object resembling a gun, prompting a soldier to fire his rifle, apparently inflicting a mortal wound. The other beings then assisted their injured companion, re-entered their craft, and departed rapidly. Despite jets being scrambled and an intensive search by tracking instruments, the saucer could not be located.
Soviet Union and Iron Curtain Activity
Another report suggests that scientists on the other side of the Iron Curtain are actively trying to suppress widespread accounts of saucer landings in the Soviet Union and neighboring countries. One specific incident described a crew of 'little men' seen collecting samples of withered crops on a collective farm at night. Security guards surrounded them, but a saucer descended, landed, and retrieved the group before taking off. The newsletter also mentions other reports of mysterious plane disappearances following UFO encounters in this region.
Mental Health and UFO Publications
In a concerning note, the newsletter mentions that one of the district representatives for a saucer publication in the eastern United States is currently confined in a mental institution. It is noted that this individual has reportedly suffered breakdowns on several previous occasions, and the publication expresses a wish for his speedy recovery so he can continue to contribute to the review of flying saucer evidence.
The Shaver Mystery and Arizona Cave Incident
Interest in the 'Shaver Mystery' has reportedly been revived on the West Coast, with several people reporting hearing mysterious voices. A well-known occult researcher investigated these claims and learned of a large cave in Arizona said to house a 'Dero colony.' The researcher organized an expedition to this cave and sent sealed letters to key personalities in the saucer field, with instructions not to open them unless he did not return. He then departed for his trip.
Witnesses reported seeing him enter the cave, and shortly after, they heard violent screams from within. The group was so frightened that they fled without discovering the researcher's fate. He has not been found to this day. Adding to the mystery, one recipient of a sealed envelope from the missing researcher found only scattered ashes where the envelope had been placed.
Propaganda and Governmental Connections
There is also a brief mention that a major UFO author is allegedly writing propaganda for the U.S. Information Agency, with hints of other governmental connections.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
This issue of Saucer News focuses on presenting a variety of unusual and often sensational reports related to UFO phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of documenting and disseminating these accounts, often with an implication of official cover-ups or suppression of information, particularly in the report concerning the Soviet Union and the mention of a UFO author working with the U.S. Information Agency. The newsletter highlights the mysterious and sometimes dangerous nature of UFO investigations, as exemplified by the disappearance of the researcher in Arizona. The inclusion of the Shaver Mystery and the mention of 'little men' suggest an interest in a broad spectrum of paranormal and unexplained events. The publication's approach is to relay information 'from the grapevine,' often without extensive corroboration, but with an emphasis on the unusual and the unexplained.
WE HEAR that interest in the Shaver Mystery was revived in a large city on the West Coast recently, when a number of people reported hearing mysterious voices in the night.
Key Incidents
A mysterious object, described as a saucer thirty feet in diameter, landed at a US Air Force base, from which three 'little men' disembarked. A soldier shot one of the beings, who were then picked up by the others, and the craft departed rapidly. Jets were scrambled but could not locate the object.
