Flying Saucer Review - Spring 2004

This document is an issue of the Flying Saucer Review (FSR) from the Spring of 2004. It contains a variety of content, including a contemporary sighting report, historical reviews of Ufology literature, and obituaries. The sighting report details an incident on March 26, 2004, in Bradenton, Florida, where a witness named Jill E. observed two saucer-like objects. The objects were described as greyish, almond-shaped, and surrounded by a brownish haze, moving at high speeds and performing sharp turns before eventually hovering. The report notes that the objects were observed at an altitude of approximately 40,000 feet. The document also provides a historical overview of the Flying Saucer Review publication, which began in 1955, and discusses the availability of its archives on CD-ROM. A significant portion of the text is dedicated to the history of the Condon Project at the University of Colorado (1967-1968), including the role of Roy F. Craig and the involvement of J. Allen Hynek. The document explores the political and social tensions surrounding the scientific investigation of UFOs during the 1960s, specifically the transition of research from the Air Force to civilian academic institutions. Additionally, the document features a brief mention of former astronaut Edgar Mitchell and his public statements regarding the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence and a 'cabal' of insiders. The publication serves as both a record of current sightings and a repository for the historical analysis of the UFO phenomenon.
