This issue of the Flying Saucer Review (Vol. 13, No. 5, September/October 1967) serves as a compilation of reports, editorials, and research regarding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. The journal features an editorial criticizing the debunking efforts of Project Blue Book and the Robertson Committee, specifically highlighting the work of Dr. James McDonald in his efforts to bring scientific scrutiny to the UFO problem. The issue contains detailed reports on specific incidents, including a landing at Marliens, France, involving physical traces in a clover field, and a 1958 case in Brazil where a girl was allegedly cured of cancer by humanoid surgeons. Other sections provide a survey of French UFO research groups, such as Ouranos, GEPA, and LDLN, detailing their organizational structures and publications. The journal also includes a retrospective on the 1947 Kenneth Arnold sighting, an analysis of 'phosphorescent wheels' at sea, and a report on the 1959 Stratford-on-Avon landing. Throughout the publication, contributors emphasize the need for serious, scientific investigation into UFOs, rejecting the 'contactee' myth while documenting evidence of landings and occupant reports. The journal also serves as a marketplace for UFO-related literature and detection equipment, reflecting the active subculture of the era.
The mounting stupidity of the explanations led to disquiet, to the Washington Hearing on UFOs, and to the establishment of the Condon Committee at the University of Colorado.
