This issue of Saucer Scoop, dated December 1967, features a cover with a Christmas and New Year's theme, but the central illustration depicts a UFO sighting. The magazine is dedicated to presenting information on the UFO field, with a stated policy of impartiality and a commitment to exploring all aspects of the phenomenon.

The Cover Drawing and New Guinea Sighting

The cover drawing is explained in an accompanying article, detailing a significant UFO event that occurred in Papua, New Guinea, on June 27, 1959. The sighting involved a large craft accompanied by two smaller objects, hovering over a beach. Father William Booth Gill and other observers reported seeing figures on the craft who waved at the humans. Eric Kodaware directed flashes from a torch, which the UFO appeared to reciprocate. A blue spotlight shone upwards from the object. Similar disks had been seen the day before over Boianai, New Guinea, with humanoids on top, witnessed by thirty-eight people. A report on these sightings was sent to Melbourne, Australia, and then to the United States. Peter Norris of Melbourne considered these sightings to be among the most important ever recorded, emphasizing that the witnesses saw material objects and that the humanoids appeared to be real beings.

Editorial Board and Policy

The magazine lists its Board of Directors, including Joan Whritenour as Editor, and various directors for different branches such as Photographic Research, Foreign Information, and regional branches across the US and Canada. It also details its Photographic Labs, Foreign Photographic Labs, and Research Labs. The "SAUCER SCOOP POLICY" is clearly stated: to print all pertinent data relating to the UFO Field, regardless of organizational affiliations, and to present both sides of controversial subjects with equal opportunity for viewpoints. The policy also emphasizes giving full name and address credit, along with source, dateline, and witnesses, and maintaining the best research equipment and manpower for accurate analysis.

Scoop Special Interview: Mr. Gabriel Kozora

Several magazines have approached him for publication rights, but he has declined due to past harassment. Kozora has seen the object on several more occasions and believes his area is rich in 'Saucer-lore,' with many sightings and authentic photos within a 50-mile radius.

The recurring themes in this issue include detailed accounts of UFO sightings from various locations worldwide, emphasizing witness testimony and photographic evidence. The magazine consistently highlights the 'otherness' of the objects and the intelligence behind them, with some reports suggesting hostility or advanced technological capabilities. The editorial stance, as outlined in the policy, is to present a balanced view, encouraging research and open discussion of UFO phenomena, while also acknowledging the potential for misidentification and hoaxes. The inclusion of international reports underscores the global nature of the UFO phenomenon as perceived by the publication.

Title: SAUCER SCOOP
Issue: June - 1968
Volume: 3
Publisher: UNIVERSARIUM FOUNDATION
Country: USA
Language: English

This issue of SAUCER SCOOP presents a collection of articles and reports focused on UFO phenomena, apocalyptic prophecies, and unexplained occurrences. The main cover headline highlights "!!! UFO Theme Oil Paintings !!!", and the visual on the cover depicts a hand emerging from water, symbolizing "TRUTH ABOUT UFO'S" and "GOVT. CONTROL".

ICARUS - PRELUDE TO DOOM

The issue features the concluding part of a series by DIOPIHANTES on the asteroid ICARUS. The author predicts that ICARUS will not impact Earth's crust but will disintegrate into dust due to magnetic forces, an event expected in 1968. This cataclysm is predicted to cause massive death, with only about one-tenth of the Earth's population surviving to face harsh conditions and "fires of the cleansing." The article suggests that individuals will be "taken" by saucers based on their spiritual evolvement and magnetic frequency; those who are not attracted will remain to face the aftermath, including "SUPER-INSECTS."

Further into the article, it is stated that Earth scientists might attempt to destroy ICARUS with nuclear weapons, which would only worsen the situation. The author, identifying as MICHAEL, Keeper of the Records, claims this is "COSMIC LAW" and that humanity's negative thinking has led to this fate. The article also foresees significant geological events such as earthquakes, unstable weather, continents rising, and polar openings forming, followed by plagues and insect hordes.

IS A CATACLYSM FORTHCOMING?

By COL. HARRY F. MAY, this article questions whether Earth is heading for a drastic change, a deluge, or a searing purge. It examines past earthquake patterns, noting that a large percentage of damage is caused by public panic and fires. The article estimates an average year sees one great earthquake, ten major ones, and thousands of smaller tremors, with California being a hotspot due to the San Andreas Fault. While current activity is not unprecedented, it is seen as a potential forerunner to a greater disaster. Predictions for a climax have shifted over the years, with a current estimate around March 1969. The article also touches upon the possibility of 60-foot tidal waves and the necessity of earthquakes and changing facial features of the Earth's crust for the planet's evolution.

Prophecies suggest sun spots and volcanic eruptions will be the first indications, followed by earthquakes. The author expresses a hope that such a holocaust would remove evil and negative beings, with "New Age People" being taken aloft in flying saucers. The article concludes by suggesting a plan to continue living normally but to prepare for significant events.

UFO Sightings and Encounters

International Dateline Reports:

• New Zealand: UFO activity is increasing, with reports of at least 12 disc-shaped objects flying in formation.

FLYING SAUCERS and the STRANGE!

By Kurt Glemser, this section details several mysterious occurrences related to UFO investigations:

• Albert K. Bender: In 1952, Bender created the International Flying Saucer Bureau (IFSB). In 1953, he stopped operations after claiming to be visited by "three men in black suits." His book, "Flying Saucers and the Three Men," was published in 1962. Bender reported experiencing pulsating blue lights, a foul odor like rotten eggs, and was taken to a base under Antarctica where "three men" extracted minerals from the sea. These beings reportedly had the features of the 'Flatwoods' monster and used human disguises.
• Homer Schaefer: In 1962, Schaefer heard creaking noises upstairs in his home, which escalated from a light patter to a heavy tramp. He found his room disturbed, with books on Black Magic and flying saucers out of place, despite all windows being locked.
• Kurt Glemser: In early 1967, Glemser experienced a phone call with no one on the line, followed by unexplained light activations and a sudden power outage as he ascended the stairs. He then saw the upper half of a "human" body, described as a shadow in black clothing, leaning around the top of the stairs. He also reported smelling a foul odor like burning sulphur with four other people on Feb. 28, 1967.

CUFOIC (Civilian UFO Information Center)

CUFOIC is a non-profit organization associated with Schaefer Observatory, directed by Kurt Glemser, with Carl Nagel and Keith Vincent as assistant directors. They aim to collect UFO-related news clippings and reports. In 1968, they planned to publish a bi-monthly magazine, "Flying Saucers," with subscriptions at $1.25. Membership for CUFOIC was $1.50, including a subscription and an 8x10 certificate. They also planned to issue awards.

"Many Convinced UFOS Busy 'Rustling' Animals"

Reprinted from the Orlando Sentinel, this article by John A. Keel details numerous reports of UFOs allegedly stealing and dissecting animals. Farmers and property owners are reporting these incidents, often backed by the dismembered carcasses of animals from which blood, bone marrow, and vital organs have been removed.

• Italy Case (1954): A farmer accused "three dwarves in metallic diving suits" of stealing rabbits, who then departed in a cigar-shaped machine.
• South America (1962): In Barcelos, Brazil, 17 chickens, six pigs, and two cows vanished during a UFO wave. Pigs also vanished from an agricultural college in Farmingdale, L.I., during a time of power failures and nightly UFO appearances.
• Dognapping Cases (1956 & 1966): Everett Clark (Dante, Tenn.) saw four people exit an oblong object and try to catch his dog. John Trasco (Everittstown, N.J.) reported a strange little man with frog-like eyes trying to take his dog before entering an egg-shaped craft. Newell Partridge (Doddridge County, W. Va.) saw two glowing red objects, and his dog, Bandit, vanished after running into the field.
