Flying Saucer Review, Volume 31, No. 3

This issue of Flying Saucer Review (Vol. 31, No. 3, March 1986) serves as a compilation of reports, investigations, and editorial commentary regarding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. The primary focus is a sustained 'wave' of sightings in the eastern United States, specifically New York and Connecticut, involving large, boomerang-shaped objects described as being as large as two football fields. These reports, investigated by Phil Imbrogno and George Lesnick, describe objects that hover, display non-regulation lighting, and exhibit flight characteristics beyond current human technology. The magazine also features a detailed case study from Pelotas, Brazil, involving an alleged abduction of a student named José Inácio Álvaro, investigated by Luiz do Rosário Real. This case includes transcripts of hypnotic regression sessions detailing the witness's interaction with entities inside a craft. Beyond these specific incidents, the issue includes an interview with Professor Archibald Roy of Glasgow University regarding SETI and the scientific community's perspective on extraterrestrial intelligence. The editorial content reflects a critical stance toward government secrecy, the 'cover-up' of UFO data, and the perceived inadequacy of official explanations such as 'light aircraft' or 'hang gliders' to account for the reported phenomena. The publication also includes book reviews, letters from readers, and historical context regarding UFO research, maintaining a consistent theme that the UFO phenomenon is a reality that requires serious, multidisciplinary study despite the skepticism of mainstream science and government authorities.
