Lesley Gunter's Newest Blog: Vintage Flying Saucers

UFO Magazine columnist and blogger Lesley Gunter (The Debris Field, and so much more!) has a new blog: Vintage Flying Saucers. Can't get enough of vintage space ships!

Insidious Round About Book Banning

A law that was passed in January seems to be strangely under reported. That law concerns vintage children's books; it's illegal to sell them. Vintage meaning any book printed before 1985.

The reason given for this law has to do with lead content in ink.

This law has caused great confusion among libraries, book sellers, etc.

It's not as straight forward as it might seem; there's much more to this just below the surface.

For more, read what my article on my blog Octopus Confessional. And so some research of your own; I think you'll be startled at what you find.

Creepy Rabbit Flying Saucer Men

I find this illustration very creepy. It's from the magazine Modern Mechanix, 1951, and goes to an article titled "How Scientists Visualize the REAL Flying Saucer Men." I found the image on the
Just Weird blog.

Behind the Scene Magazine

The year, 1954, the magazine is "Behind the Scene." I'm not sure what the blurb on the cover refers to -- Where Anyone Can Buy a Girl Slave -- do they mean a movie, or the UFOs that are attacking us, as they assure us at the top of the cover?: Flying Saucers Are Attacking Us!
