Wow!! Goes back to 1955??!! Course thats close to the times, maybe right in the middle, that ufo sightings in the U.S. just exploded. Another magazine that bit the dust...UFO Magazine.

Without funding then you can't keep operating hence their demise, there were a lot more very good research and reporting prints that also ended.

I do agree though that some of the best stuff on UFOs is in print and not on the web

Seek and ye shall find my friends

Clicky


A lot of other good stuff there as well.

FSR was, and remains, a great research tool. Perhaps a little biased towards the Extra-Terrestrial Hypothesis at times. But not a problem. Generally it remained objective and had some great guest writers alongside its regular staff.

I think all their stuff is kindle-ized free (or super cheap) on amazon
I've been wanting to read the "Humanoids" issue forever:

Many thanks for the link!

If you search you will find the issue you are looking for.

ahh man thats sad
though i doubt it would survive today due to the current state of ufology

In the 70s it was the best one if you ever could FIND it in Colorado...

I wasn't sure until recently whether FSR had effectively ceased publication (and, judging from the comments above, other people thought the same).

However, in July this year, Clas Svahn of the AFU in Sweden shared a photo of the front cover of the latest issue of FSR - see below (i.e. Summer 2016, Volume 55 number 2).



So, to paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of FSR's death are greatly exaggerated.

Nah that's just CGI Isaac. Look at the badly formed shadow under the thumb against the cover......


Seriously - is this a unique copy or is FSR really coming back?

AFU depository

Some early ones that may or may not be in the previous repositories are available here.

where whow what why?
seriously where?

a reply to: humanoidlord

I liked FSR

I liked FSR and UFO Magazine as well. Victims of the internet, like many small newspapers.
I hope it does not claim Sky&Telescope and Scientific American, as the real down to Earth stuff is in jeopardy in the same way.

any news about this?
anyone tried to contact them?

any updates?

was thinking about this again today.
its blaffling how vague their website is, there are only order links to "past issues" and no information, not even a photo of the front page of the new issue.
that image that koi shared still confuses me, where are they publishing now? or they just give special private issues to the AFU collection?and where that clear saucer photo comes from?
questions, just questions...
