Declassified UFO / UAP Document
FSR Vol. 12 No. 4, July-August 1966
AI-Generated Summary
This document is a 1966 issue of the Flying Saucer Review, documenting various UAP sightings and the controversial 'Snippy' horse mutilation case in Colorado. It highlights the tension between civilian ufologists and official government investigations like the Condon Committee.
This document is a compilation of reports from the Flying Saucer Review (FSR), spanning historical accounts from 1897 to contemporary reports from the 1960s and 1970s. The primary focus is on the phenomenon of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) and their alleged effects on the environment and animals. A significant portion of the text is dedicated to the 'Snippy' case in Alamosa, Colorado, where a horse was found dead with unusual injuries, including the removal of organs and brain tissue, and the presence of radiation and circular ground markings. The document details the investigations by local law enforcement, the involvement of the Condon Committee, and the skepticism of official explanations such as lightning strikes. Other reports include sightings of 'airships' in the late 19th century, encounters with 'flying basketballs' and triangular craft, and reports of animal mutilations in Italy and Canada. The publication serves as a platform for ufologists to share accounts, critique government-funded research projects like the Condon Committee, and explore theories regarding extraterrestrial visitation, including the 'repair' and 'stolen artifact' hypotheses. The text also touches upon the psychological and physiological effects reported by witnesses, such as paralysis and skin burns, and the recurring theme of animal reactions to UAP presence.
There were no signs of wild animals, no lightning burns on the remaining hide, no tire tracks that might hint at a hoax, and no medical instruments that could account for the smooth, deep cut in the horse's flesh.
