‘UFOs for Real?’: revisting an article from today’s date in 1966

by on Oct. 10, 2010, under UFOs

I came across a website this morning that contains historical articles related to UFOs.

One article caught my eye. There are a couple things that I find interesting about this article. I won’t share what I find interesting, except that there are a couple things that don’t apply to today, but other things remain the same. Nonetheless. It’s an interesting article.

The article was published by Newsweek, 44 years ago today, October 10, 1966.

UFO’s for Real?

Flying saucers once again have zoomed back into the public eye-or imagination. In the first six months of this year the U.S. Air Force’s Project Blue Book, the official registrar of Unidentified Flying Objects, has duly noted 508 UFO “sightings.” Saturday Review columnist and UFO believer John Fuller’s “Incident at Exeter” has been sharing space on the best-seller lists with former radio announcer Frank Edwards’ book “Flying Saucers-Serious Business.” And just last week Fuller began a two-part story in Look magazine recounting the terrifying two hours that a New Hampshire couple claim they spent being interrogated aboard a flying saucer.

    There used to be reports of UFO’s DAILY.  Now that just about everyone has some sort of recording device with them at all times, reports have fallen to almost non-existent.  Why aren’t prople recording them AND reporting what they filmed?

    • Cherlyn Gardner Strong

      Rather than reporting, I think they are documenting (sort of) via Twitter and Facebook. I was shocked with the recent mass sighting in Tucson…people were calling in to the news stations and making Facebook status updates with real-time observations, but where are the pictures and videos? Then, interest sort of just waned on it.

    Sorry, but UFO’s (as they continue to be perceived) are actually no more than weather balloons… or planes… or helicopters… or the sun, moon, stars, clouds…

    But… “little green men from Mars”? Pleeeeez… there ain’t NO such animal!

    At most… they’re just manifestations eminating from the nether world…  

    • Cherlyn Gardner Strong

      Thanks for your comment. I can’t stand the phrase “little green men” either. My viewpoint on UFOs is that if a person or a group of people cannot identify an object, it is a UFO. Until the object is positively identified as a weather balloon, plane, helicopter, kite, boomerang, frisbee,etc., it remains an “unidentified” object. I have never expressed a viewpoint on an E..T. /alien life on my blog. My standpoint on this is to identify what the object was, first and foremost, then worry about where it came from and who was piloting the object.

  • Shotgun Slade

    Correction: “…manifestations EMANATING from the nether world…”

      Slade, can you please explain that just a little more? Not sure I understand.

    With search engines providing access to archived news reports, it has become much easier to read the original coverage of the big stories of yesteryear.  I have found this much more interesting than reading the digested version provided by some author in a book — or, at the least, it provides a basis for understanding where the digested version came from.
     
    Cheers

      I am absolutely fascinated with the coverage of yesteryear. It’s interesting to see where some things have evolved, where others have taken a step back, or have stayed the same.I also like the first hand information. I might be heavier on history than other bloggers, but I think it’s important to contemplate the past.

    I’m fascinated as well. Do you see any big changes since that 1966 article? I don’t.
