This was originally the organ of the Los Angeles Interplanetary Study Groups (LAISG) founded in 1956 by Gabriel Green (1924-2001) after he saw a UFO firsthand. He was an archetypical Southern Californian who invented a crank economic system ("Prior Choice Economics") that promised a four-day work week, free medical care, "free permanent insurance on everything," universal brotherhood, cessation of taxation, lower prices, higher wages, full retirement pensions without reduction in living standards, the end of poverty and starvation, free education, "online" shopping (through television and the telephone), the emancipation of women, peace on earth and spiritual development, etc., all of which was obtainable without the evils of Communism. Like most other contactees, Green was opposed to nuclear testing and weapons. Green's several attempts at running for political office (including the presidency, "a Space Age President," garnering 199 votes) came to nothing, but in 1959 LAISG had outgrown its local origins and became the national Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America (AFSCA) which continued this journal, renaming it World Report in 1959 and UFO International in 1962. It ceased in 1965.
Green claimed to have seen hundreds of UFOs and been contacted by numerous Space Masters, including Rentan, a 2,000 year old from Alpha Centauri, who taught the almost universal combination of New Age thought (spiritualism, reincarnation, pyramidology, etc.) and universe-wide brotherhoods of spiritually and technologically advanced brotherhoods. The journal contained, besides Green's expositions of his various enthusiasms, regular reports from members and the press of UFO sightings an articles on many of the prominent contactees of the era (George Adamski, Bob Renaud, et al.). Members of AFSCA traveled California in a Volkswagen bus, the "AFSCA Mobile Unit," to report on landings and sightings. The journal is now reprinted and available as a paperback.
