Declassified UFO / UAP Document
Flying Saucer Review Vol. 22, No. 2
AI-Generated Summary
This is the July 1976 issue of Flying Saucer Review. The editorial discusses the collaborative relationship between amateur ufologists and professional scientists.
This document is the front cover and contents page of the July 1976 issue of Flying Saucer Review (Vol. 22, No. 2). The editorial, titled 'We're All Amateurs,' addresses a tension between professional scientists and amateur researchers in the field of ufology. The editor, Charles Bowen, responds to comments made by contributor Mrs. Ann Druffel, who expressed frustration regarding the perceived arrogance of scientists who dismiss amateur contributions. Bowen argues that while the publication values the input of professional scientists—citing the recent Chicago meeting of the Center for UFO Studies as an example of where such collaboration is useful—he emphasizes that the study of UAP requires both the application of scientific logic and an understanding of human nature. The document lists the editorial staff and consultants, including notable figures such as J. Allen Hynek and Aime Michel. The contents page outlines various articles, including 'The Baker Sighting,' 'The Cyrus Case,' and 'The Twilight Side of a UFO Encounter,' among others.
All in all we feel that that study requires not only the application of the cold logical approach of scientific reason, but also the understanding that comes of long acquaintance with the humanities.
