v. 14, Jan. -Feb. 1968: 3-4.
Re}X)rt of UFO observed Oct. 26, 1967, at Moinge Downs, between Weymouth
and Lulworth Cove, Dorset, England. In "hover" }X)sition, object consisted
of four "fuselages" at equidistant position ru:ound a central chamber. Further
construction details 8re given.

The 00.sic physical concepts underly!ng the construction and operation of a
vehicle that could undertake interplanetary travel are discussed.
Is this the real flying saucer? Look, v. 19, June 14 , 1955: 44-46.
Design study for a flying-saucer f";hter prepared for Look by Republic
Aviation Corp. engineer Thomas Turner. Sketches indicate appearance of
a craft that would fulfill following requirements: (1) ability to take off and
land vertically: (2) high speed of over Mach 2.; (3) high rate of climb;
(4) excellent maneuverability; (5) heavy armament; (6) ability to operate at
60, 000 ft.
Schroeder, W. Only 4 hours to reach the moon. Flying saucer review, v. 4,
Jan. -Feb. 1958: 12-14.
Author considers ideal design for spacecraft that could travel outside earth's
atmosphere and concludes that (1) it must be circular; (2) it must have the
rocket motor on top and the remainder of the structure underneath; and (3)
the lower parts must be wider than the upper ones and have a hole in the
middle for unobstructed flow from the rocket motor. He says UFOs fit this
description because the design consideration applies universally.

v. 1, Fall 1948: 101-104.
Speculates that possible reason for different sizes and shapes of observed
flying discs is that they are specialized units that fit together like a jigs·~w
puzzle to compose a complete unit. Advantages of fragmentation would l>e
(1) greater speed and functioning efficiency; (2) protection against loss~
and (3) greater ease and safety in landing.
Winder, R.H. B. Comrm'!nt on the Angus Brooks sighting. Flying saucer review,
v. 14, Jan. -Feb. 1968: 4-5,
Speculating on the reason for the crosslike configuration during hover of the
UFO seen over England Oct. 2b, 19il7, by Angus Brooks, author suggests
observations or measurements demandin;;; instruments located at thE:: four
corners of a square or requirin~ two or four linear devices (possibly antennae),
intersecting at right angles.
