AudioBlog: A 1970 UFO and Humanoid Report From Spain

by Charles Lear, author of “The Flying Saucer Investigators.” In
October 1970, the publishers of the British magazine Flying Saucer
Review put out the first issue of FSR Case Histories. Editor
Charles Bowen explains at the beginning of that issue that readers
had “suggested that FSR should be a monthly journal.” According to
Bowen, the FSR staff worked in their spare time to put out the
magazine, and while putting it out monthly wasn’t possible, it was
possible to put out a supplemental journal in between the main
issues. Other reasons Bowen gives for putting out a supplement are:
to provide space for cases that might otherwise go unrecorded, to
translate stories from foreign journals, to encourage readers to
become part-time investigators, and to have “a vehicle to carry
important re-investigations of old cases.” The February 1974 FSR
Case Histories, Supplement 18, was the final issue and Bowen and
Assistant Editor Eileen Buckle explain in that issue that this is
due to “lukewarm support and the shocking rise of costs and
postage.” A case from that issue that caught this writer’s interest
is an example of a case that was translated from a foreign
magazine, in this instance, from the December 1972 issue of the
Spanish magazine, Stendak. Read more
