TL;DR

This 1964 issue of the Flying Saucer Review compiles global UFO sighting reports, theoretical papers on the fourth dimension, and historical research into ancient accounts of aerial phenomena. It documents the ongoing struggle for scientific recognition of the UFO subject against institutional skepticism.

This issue of the Flying Saucer Review, dated January-February 1964, marks the beginning of the publication's tenth year. The editorial, titled 'Impossible?', reflects on the history of the UFO phenomenon since 1955, noting the persistent opposition from scientific and political establishments. The magazine serves as a compilation of sighting reports, theoretical articles, and historical analyses regarding unidentified aerial phenomena.

Key content includes a detailed report by Peter J. Kelly on sightings in the Southampton area, where pupils from the Testwood Secondary Modern School reported various objects, including a gyroscope-like craft. Jacques Vallée contributes a descriptive study of entities associated with 'Type 1' sightings, categorizing them into 'Men' and 'Dwarfs' based on their appearance and behavior. Luis Shoenherr continues his theoretical series, 'UFOs and the Fourth Dimension,' proposing that UFOs may originate from or travel through a fourth dimension, potentially explaining their invulnerability and sudden appearances or disappearances. W. R. Drake explores the historical context of the phenomenon in 'Spacemen in Antiquity,' citing classical texts from Roman and Greek history that describe strange aerial objects and entities.

Additionally, the issue covers the mystery of metal spheres found in Australia in 1963, which remained unidentified by government agencies. Peter F. Sharp provides an analysis of 'Angel Hair,' questioning the common explanation that it is merely spider silk. The 'World Round-up' section compiles numerous sighting reports from England, France, the United States, Argentina, and Australia, highlighting the global nature of the phenomenon. The magazine also includes a 'Mail Bag' section for reader correspondence and an obituary for Jean Cocteau, who expressed interest in the subject. The issue concludes with a 'Stop Press' report regarding a recent landing in Sandgate, Kent, on November 16, 1963, involving a headless figure with webbed feet.

Scientists are quite as ordinary, pig-headed, and unreasonable as anyone else, and their unusually high intelligence only makes their prejudices all the more dangerous.
