This issue of SAUCERS, SPACE & SCIENCE, a 6th Anniversary Issue, delves into several intriguing topics within the realm of ufology and unexplained phenomena. The cover prominently features a follow-up story on 'Saucer Photo Faces,' an analysis of 'The Thresher Mystery,' and articles on 'Will o' Wisps,' 'Other Spheres,' and 'The Moving Light That Doesn't.' It also lists additional articles by George Fawcett, Wilbert B. Smith, Timothy Green Beckley, and Gene Hurtlenne, along with features on 'The London Mystery Object,' 'Sightings,' and 'Monster stories - Headliners.'

Saucer Photo Faces

The lead article, 'Those "Faces" in Saucer Photos,' revisits a story from the June issue about faces appearing in flying saucer photographs. The editor notes that some readers believe these faces could be a key to identifying genuine saucer photos, as fake ones supposedly wouldn't show them. However, the faces are described as 'devilish in appearance,' raising questions about the nature of the entities involved.

Reader Arthur Sampsel compares the current findings to Trevor James' earlier work, noting that while James identified amoeba-like 'animals,' the current photos reveal distinct 'faces.' Sampsel himself has photographed 'spirit faces' and believes UFOs might be tangible objects used by an angelic race for transportation.

William Lamb, a contributor, advocates that UFOs are transformations of 'evil entities,' a theory he finds similar to John M. Cage's belief that UFOs are not machines but 'space-life.' Lamb's own theory aligns with biblical prophecies, suggesting UFOs are 'The Spirits of Devils' gathering forces for a final battle.

Bill Rawlinson expresses interest in the 'faces' and their potential connection to demons mentioned in the New Testament, linking it to Genesis 6 and the Book of Enoch. He questions whether these faces were nebulous or distinct and advises caution to photographers, citing potential dangers and recommending prayer for protection.

Gladys Fusaro comments on the 'chiller' nature of the 'Saucer Photo Faces' story and wonders why individuals who notice 'strange things' would still take the chance of publishing such material. She suggests that some people 'see' things because they want to.

Robert Ernst Dickhoff and Sungma Tenzing Lama also note the presence of 'faces' in photographs, with Lama mentioning 'spirit faces' in a photo of a self-immolation by a Vietnamese monk. They believe entities from unknown dimensions interact with our world, and that understanding these phenomena requires psychic ability.

Gray Barker shares his interest in 'spirit faces' and mentions that he has collected examples. He feels that when he presents these pictures to an audience, they will discover more 'faces' than he initially selected.

The Thresher Mystery

This section, analyzed by 'Sungma UFOLOGIST' (G. Duplantier), presents a theory about the disappearance of the USS Thresher submarine. The article posits that the disaster was foreshadowed by a sighting of 18 alleged 'icebergs' 350 miles east of Cape May, N.J., in December 1961, six months after the iceberg season. These 'icebergs' are suggested to be camouflaged aquatic spacecraft belonging to an alien, extraterrestrial fleet.

The theory states that one of these 'ocean-floor based aquatic spacecraft' intentionally rammed the Thresher, causing its total electronic failure and sinking. This event defied scientific explanation and is attributed to an 'out-of-this-world power' that does not tolerate detection. The aliens are believed to be implementing underwater domes on the ocean floor as part of a larger plan.

The article details how the Thresher, upon diving into the 'projected forcefield of an UAQ (Unidentified Aquatic Object),' had its molecular structure expanded and its crew frozen, leading to its 'dead dive.' The aliens are described as using ocean beds for their operations, posing a threat that earthling defense methods cannot counter.

Further details from a N.Y. Herald Tribune summary by S. Leroy are presented, highlighting the mystery of the 18 'icebergs' and the fact that radar, which detects metallic objects, would not pick up ice. The investigation by the International Ice Patrol found no ice.

The article connects this to the Thresher's disappearance a year later. Secretary of the Navy F. Korth's explanation of an 'engine room pipe' rupture is dismissed as insufficient. The 'sudden, silent, vanishing' of the Thresher is attributed to a 'ramming' event.

Testimony from Lt. J.D. Watson, navigator of the Thresher, mentions hearing a 'dull thud' before contact was lost. Lt. Comdr. St. Kecker, captain of the Thresher escort, reported seeing a 'mysterious vessel' on the horizon that appeared to be a submarine sail or fin.

Mysterious electronic signals picked up by the submarine Seawolf two days after the Thresher's loss are also mentioned, with Rear Admiral L. Ramage stating they could not be equated with anything originating from the Thresher's personnel. The article implies these signals came from ocean-based aquatic extraterrestrial spacecraft.

The author suggests that the 'iceberg incident' and the Thresher's loss have left the Navy and Government in a state of fear, possibly due to theories involving 'invincible' A-subs being swatted out of existence by unknown forces.

The article speculates that these entities, possibly 'Tritons intelligence' from Neptune, are creating underwater domes for 'minions' and seeking 'New Frontiers.' It warns that strategically based aquatic spacecraft covering the ocean floors could lead to atomic and polaris firing.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the controversial interpretation of 'faces' in UFO photographs, often linked to 'evil entities' or 'spirits.' The mysterious disappearance of the USS Thresher is presented with a strong theory of alien aquatic craft involvement, highlighting a perceived threat from extraterrestrial intelligence operating from the ocean floor. The issue also touches upon various other UFO sightings and unexplained aerial phenomena, including mystery lights and strange objects reported across North America. The editorial stance is one of open reporting, presenting diverse viewpoints within ufology without necessarily endorsing them, and aiming to provide readers with information to draw their own conclusions.

Title: OTHER SPHERES
Issue: 11
Date: March, 1963
Publisher: Saucerian Publications
Country: USA
Language: English

This issue of "OTHER SPHERES" delves into profound concepts of consciousness, reality, and the potential for life beyond our known universe. It features a blend of philosophical discussion, anecdotal reports of unexplained phenomena, and a comprehensive book list from the publisher.

The Nature of Reality and 'Other Spheres'

The lead article, by Brinsley Le Poer Trench, explores the concept of 'other spheres' beyond the chemical universe. Trench argues that popular religion often presents a simplistic dichotomy of heaven and hell, whereas an esoteric perspective acknowledges a multitude of universes. He likens our focus on the chemical universe to a person intensely studying a microscopic slide, unaware of their surroundings. This 'esoteric' view suggests that humanity's current perception is limited, and that 'other spheres' are real and accessible, though not ordinarily perceived by our bodily senses. He references figures like Emanuel Swedenborg, Madame H.P. Blavatsky, Rudolf Steiner, and Krishnamurti as individuals who contributed to expanding human consciousness, potentially preparing humanity for a broader understanding of existence and interaction with beings from these 'other spheres'.

Rawlinson's earlier commentary, which prompted Trench's discussion, is mentioned as proposing a 'more adequate explanation' for humanity's rapid technological advancement, suggesting an 'other-worldly' rather than purely 'other-planet' origin for visitors. Trench clarifies that his own use of 'other spheres' was meant to be indicative of the origin of visitors, not exclusively extraterrestrial.

Reports of Unexplained Phenomena

The issue includes several reports of unusual occurrences:

• 'Thing' Hunk of Jelly: Dr. Lionel A. Walford of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife research centre reported a 40-foot-long, jelly-like object cavorting in the Atlantic Ocean, resembling a sea serpent but described as an invertebrate with no discernible bones or eyes.
• Ghost Haunts Jet Plant: Workers at the Vickers VC-10 jet plant in Brooklands, England, claimed to be haunted by the ghost of a racing driver who would appear and vanish through walls.
• Huge Blast Unexplained: An atmospheric explosion shook buildings in the Kimberley mountains area of Western Australia, accompanied by a trail of smoke, a brilliant orange flame, and an explosion, the cause of which remained unexplained.
• 'Caddy' Identified as Sea Lions: In Victoria, B.C., Nettie Ross photographed a creature she believed to be 'Cadborosaurus' (or 'Caddy'), a serpent-like entity reported for decades. However, Harry Gilbert suggested it was merely a number of sea lions.
• Ogopogo Sighting: Approximately 40 citizens and visitors in Summerland, B.C., reported seeing a long ripple in Lake Simcoe, identified as the legendary 'Ogopogo' sea monster.
• Igopogo Encounter: Rev. L.B. Williams reported seeing the monster 'Igopogo' on Lake Simcoe, Ontario. Dr. K.C. Fisher of the University of Toronto dismissed such claims, suggesting it might be a half-submerged log, while Dr. V.S. Swinton of the Royal Ontario Museum acknowledged the existence of such creatures but noted the lack of photographic evidence.
• 32-pound Mystery Object: Clayton Matthews of Brigden, Ontario, found an artificial object on his farm, distinct from a meteorite he witnessed fall years earlier. This object, found on October 21, 1962, caused a stir in military and scientific circles, with the Soviet Union denying it was part of their Cosmos 3 satellite.

UFO Activity and Researchers

Timothy Green Beckley reports on UFO activity on the East Coast, detailing a meeting of the Saucer and Unexplained Celestial Events Research Society featuring Gray Barker, author of "THEY KNEW TOO MUCH ABOUT FLYING SAUCERS." Barker lectured on the history of UFOs and the 'mysterious faces' discovered by Homer Schaefer, which he suggested were from another planet or dimension. Attendees included Hans Stefan Santesson, Lois Jessop, and Harry Hoffman. The report also mentions the 'Mystic Barber,' Andy Sinatra, known for his astral travels.

Another event mentioned is a meeting by the Massachusetts and Rhode Island Two-State UFO Study Group, attended by 150 members, where George D. Fawcett lectured and showed slides of saucer photographs. The issue also announces an upcoming UFO convention by Howard Menger, which will feature a 4 ft. radio-controlled disc.

Book List and Test

The magazine includes an extensive book list from Saucerian Publications, offering titles by authors such as George Adamski, Gray Barker, Albert K. Bender, H.P. Blavatsky, Edgar Cayce, and Donald E. Keyhoe, covering topics from flying saucers to theosophy and witchcraft. It also advertises movie stills and press-books.

A humorous test titled "WHAT ARE YOU... SOME SORT OF A SAUCER NUT?" by Gene Duplantier is presented, allowing readers to assess their potential as a UFOlogist based on their reactions to various scenarios.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the exploration of consciousness beyond material limitations, the possibility of extraterrestrial or interdimensional visitors, and the cataloging of unexplained aerial phenomena and mysterious objects. The editorial stance appears to be open-minded and investigative, encouraging readers to consider alternative explanations for events and phenomena that challenge conventional scientific understanding. There is a clear emphasis on the esoteric and occult perspectives as valid avenues for understanding reality, contrasting with mainstream religious or scientific views.

This issue of "Flying Saucers" magazine, dated August 1963, delves into various unexplained phenomena and UFO sightings reported globally. The publication features a mix of news reports, personal accounts, and speculative articles, reflecting the growing interest in the subject matter during the early 1960s. The magazine is published by Gray Barker and appears to be part of a series focused on UFOs and related topics.

Key Articles and Reports

Flying Saucers Reach Commons

A report from London details a question posed to Air Minister Julian Amery regarding a mysterious crater on farmer Roy Blanchard's farm, with speculation that it might have been caused by a UFO. Army bomb experts found metallic substances in the crater. In Scotland, similar craters were discovered on James Brown's farm near Dunbar, exhibiting unusual earth formations.

Australian astrophysicist Robert Randall is quoted as believing the crater was caused by a 600-ton, 50-man flying saucer. Blanchard's neighbor reported a cow suffering from an unusual skin disease, possibly due to heat or radiation. Dr. Randall theorized a spacecraft made an emergency landing, causing the crater and a flattened barley field, and suggested similar landings occurred in Australia and France.

Dozens See 'Fire in Sky' Go Poof!

This article reports on multiple sightings in London, Ontario, of an unidentified object burning like a ball of fire in the northeast sky. Alfred Simpson described a reddish glowing object that burned for a minute and a half before falling and disappearing with a 'poof'. City Airport confirmed all aircraft were accounted for, and police had no reports of crashes.

Mystery Balloon Sighted

The North American Air Defense Command reported a free air balloon of unknown origin drifting over the northern coast of Alaska. It was detected on radar and observed moving slowly over the Arctic Ocean.

UFOs Seen in Kitchener, Ontario

Homer Schaefer shares personal sightings, including a scoutship silently gliding down and disappearing, and observing a black object crossing the moon through binoculars. He also noted satellites or saucers passing overhead at high speed with no sound.

Undersea Wall is a Deep Puzzle

An announcement from Washington details the discovery of an unbroken undersea wall, approximately 30 feet high and several hundred feet wide, extending about 100 miles under the Atlantic near the mouth of the Orinoco. Dr. D.F. Squires of the Smithsonian Institution described it as an inexplicable phenomenon composed of shell material, pebbles, and sand, overgrown with algae.

A Strange Occurrence in Ridgetown, Ontario

Correspondent Marge Chalmers reports a red fireball landing west of her house, followed by a fierce wind that uprooted trees and caused extensive damage to her home, including smashed bathroom, ripped hydro lines, and a hole in the roof. The house sustained significant structural damage, but no other nearby places were affected. Chalmers also witnessed an odd, devilish light in the sky that disappeared suddenly.

The Moving Light That Doesn't

This article explores the psychological phenomenon of "autokinetic movement," studied by Dr. Joseph Royce at the University of Alberta. In a dark room, a stationary pinpoint of light can appear to move due to the lack of a frame of reference. Dr. Royce's research, aided by the U.S.A.F., investigates this phenomenon, which may have caused plane accidents.

UFOs Over Woburn, Mass.

George D. Fawcett reports on several incidents in New England, including an eight-pound metal object crashing on porch steps in West Quincy, a UFO photographed in Quincy, and mysterious pebble-like objects falling. Most notably, children in Woburn witnessed a 'V' formation of five yellowish-white oval-shaped saucers flying at high speeds.

Are We Entering - Or Leaving?

By Wilbert B. Smith, this article discusses the implications of atomic energy and the potential devastation of nuclear war. Smith raises the question of whether humanity is crossing a threshold into a new era or leaving behind its current existence. He speculates on the immense temperatures generated by atomic explosions and the possibility of a self-propagating thermo-nuclear chain reaction if an atom bomb were to explode deep in a body of fresh water like a Great Lake, potentially engulfing the entire planet.

On the Line By Bob Considine

This column features a brief exchange with Jackie Gleason, who expresses a strong belief that Earth is under constant observation by extraterrestrial vehicles. He asserts that UFOs exist and have caused at least one pilot's death and landed in several places.

Expedition to Explore Lost World

A U.S. expedition equipped with aircraft and parachutes has begun exploring a "lost world" in the jungle-covered mountains of southern Peru. This expedition aims to investigate a high plateau between the Apurimac and Urubamba Rivers, described as having scenic attractions like canyons, waterfalls, and stone bridges.

Flash! It Was a Meteorite!

A bright flaming object reported from New York to North Carolina was "apparently a meteorite," according to the FAA. The object blazed in a southeast direction across the Washington sky, prompting numerous calls reporting a large flash or explosion.

Mystery Sphere From SpaceShip

In Canberra, Australia, a metal object found on a cattle ranch is believed to be a pressure vessel from a space vehicle. Scientists have not opened it due to its potential scientific interest. The sphere is about 15 inches in diameter and weighs about 10 pounds.

What's New in UFO's?

This section includes a personal account by Wm. C. Lamb of a "sky-o-wisp" apparition that landed and moved across a cornfield at high speed in 1920. He also describes an incident in 1953 where his car was lifted and knocked off the road, attributing these events to "human-like apparitions" causing accidents. He names these entities "Sky-o-wisps" and describes them as tall, elusive, skeleton-like figures.
