New In The Magonia Archives

I have added two new features to the main Magonia Archive. The first presents the almost complete text of the very earliest predecessor to Magonia, the newsletters and bulletins published by the Merseyside UFO Research Group in the mid-1960s. These give a vivid impression of the ufological issues and controversies of the period, and an insight into the almost defunct world of small local UFO societies and magazines. It also features some of the earliest reports on the Warminster scene.

Some of the more important contributions to MUFORG Bulletin have aready been archived as seperate entries, and it is likely that some more will be extracted as stand-alone archive entries.

The other new addition is John Harney's summary of Carl Grove's research into the strange 'Aldeburgh Floating Platform' case from the time of the First World War. This largely consists of correspondence between Grove and relatives of the original witness. A very strange episode, which will probably never be explained to anyone's satisfaction. Amongst the contributors was Charles Gibbs-Smith, distinguished aeronautical historian and regular contributor to "Flying Saucer Review, "who seemed as baffled as anyone by the report.

Both of these collections were first published in John Harney's original 'Magonia Extra' blog, which is no longer functioning. His new Magonia Extra blog can be accessed HERE. You can get to the MUFORG Bulletin and Aldeburgh pages by clicking on the buttons here:
