Flying Saucer Review Mail Bag and Commentary

This document consists of excerpts from the 'Mail Bag' section of the Flying Saucer Review, featuring editorial commentary and reader correspondence. The text opens with a report regarding incidents at the Soviet Cosmodrome in Baikonur in June 1982. It is alleged that two UFOs caused damage to support towers and windows at Launching Pad No. 1, with reports of fine round holes drilled into the glass. Dr. Alexei Zolotov reportedly witnessed these events. The text also references correspondence with James Oberg regarding the status of the Baikonur facility. The remainder of the document focuses on cultural and academic discourse surrounding UFOs. This includes a discussion of the book 'La Chine et les extraterrestres' by Shi Bo, with a preface by Aimé Michel. There is a significant critique of Steven Spielberg’s films, specifically 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' and 'E.T.', with the author arguing that these films manipulate audiences by presenting aliens in a way that masks a 'predatory impulse' or 'deification programme.' Finally, the document includes letters from readers, including Malcolm Dickson regarding 'Villas Boas' dolls and Keith Flitcroft, who provides commentary on a book about George Adamski and his own involvement with the Queensland Flying Saucer Bureau.
