A.P.R.G. Reporter - May 15, 1957. UFO / from the Collection of Max Miller

Seattle: Aerial Phenomena Research Group, 1957. First Edition . Wrappers. Very Good Plus. Quarto. Seattle: Aerial Phenomena Research Group, 1957. First Edition of the May 15, 1957 issue, Vol. 1, No. 5. From the collection of UFOlogist Max Miller. Quarto, corner stapled legal paper, 6 pp. Mailing folds, age-toning; Very Good Plus. The fifth issue of the APRG Reporter, edited by the rising editorial star of UFOlogy, Robert Gribble, later to become NICAP director and editor of the NICAP Reporter; this publication itself, in fact, later evolved into Interplanetary and then ultimately the NICAP Reporter. Gribble's thoughtfulness, clear-sightedness and information-orientation gave his issues a value not found to the same degree in other publications of the genre in the fifties. The lengthy legal paper used in the A.P.R.G. Reporter gave him more room for more information; in this issue: "UFO Hovers Near Air Base", "Flying 'What' Films Studied", "New Jersey Area Shaken by Mystery Vibrations", "Designs On the Moon", "Brilliant Object in the Sky Seen by Gainesville, Florida Students", "Antigravity" a lengthy "Brazillian UFO Review" by Olavo Fontes, and quite a bit more. Serious output at a time in UFOlogy history when that direction was much needed and valued. From the collection of Max Miller, founder of Flying Saucers International and editor of its publication, "Saucers". L63
