Flying Saucer Review: Beyond Condon... Special Issue No. 2
AI-Generated Summary
This 1969 Flying Saucer Review special issue examines the history of UFO research, specifically detailing the 1952 'PROJECT A' study at Ohio Northern University. It highlights the tension between private research and government-led investigations like Project Blue Book and the Robertson Panel.
This document is the June 1969 Special Issue No. 2 of the Flying Saucer Review, titled 'Beyond Condon...'. The publication serves as a compilation of reports and research regarding Unidentified Flying Objects, specifically focusing on the North American context. The editorial content, led by Charles Bowen, discusses the history of UFO sightings since the launch of V2 missiles and addresses the skepticism surrounding the subject. A significant portion of the text is dedicated to 'PROJECT A', an investigation conducted by the administration and faculty of Ohio Northern University in 1952. This project was initiated by Dr. Warren Hickman to collect data on the 'flying saucer flap' of that year. The document notes that PROJECT A collected data from across the United States, Australia, Canada, and Denmark, eventually releasing a report that identified a significant number of sightings as 'unknowns' despite U.S. Air Force Project Blue Book claims. The text also references the C.I.A.-sponsored Robertson Panel, which allegedly influenced the suppression of information regarding these phenomena. Furthermore, the issue highlights the testimony of Dr. James E. McDonald at a 1968 House of Representatives symposium, where he supported the extraterrestrial hypothesis while suggesting that the phenomena might be even more bizarre than extraterrestrial devices. The magazine also includes advertisements for various books on UFOs and related topics, as well as information on how to order reprints of articles from the Flying Saucer Review.
... if the UFOs are not of extramundane origin, then I suspect that they will prove to be something very much more bizarre, something of perhaps even greater scientific interest than extraterrestrial devices.
