Rick Hilberg’s “UFO Magazine” (1960s-1970s, USA) – Searchable PDFs

[IsaacKoi]

Rick Hilberg has kindly given me permission to make his “UFO Magazine” freely available online.

Rick Hilberg is a veteran ufologist (or, as he put it to me in a recent comment, an “old ufological dinosaur…”). He published “UFO Magazine” in the 1960s-1970s and is still active in ufology today. Rick Hilberg’s “UFO Magazine” published UFO reports, copies of newspaper articles and commentaries in the 1960s and 1970s. Many sightings which are now viewed as “classics” within ufology were covered in that magazine contemporaneously – often summarising media coverage that was taking place at the time.

Quite a few issues have kindly been scanned by the AFU in Sweden and by Barry Greenwood in the USA.

Anyone interested can (for my usual price, i.e. free...):

Thanks for the head's up Isaac, invaluable resources for researchers and anyone else interested in quality examination of important cases —many of which have been largely forgotten, kudos to you!
