Frank Scully has this comic clipped out and tucked in his 1950s Behind the Flying Saucers scrapbook. It’s pretty racist by today’s standards. It was produced by a well known Latino comic artist of the 1940s-1950s named Gus Arriola. He was best known for this Gordo series. Scully obviously took a liking to this specific strip for its saucer content. Second pic shows Arriola in 1949. Snazzy fella.

1995 Chan Marshall playing “Rockets”. My favorite song from her catalog, and an early live rendition.

You’ll like this one @PaulTiberius. I was going through Frank Scully’s old scrapbook from the 1950s for the millionth time, and found this small clipping talking about the publishing dates of Keyhoe’s book versus Scully’s. This one says Keyhoe’s book came out first, which tracks with me. The weird part is that it appears Scully hand cut and glued a different date on the clipping. Just noticed this for the first time a minute ago, haven’t even thought out the hows and whys yet.

Frank doing some jank ass clipping. Surprised I didn’t see this before.

Elliott Smith on a morning show in 1995. Featuring young Tom Bergeron and a puppet. Elliott is so uncomfortable and perfect in the full vid. Exactly as you’d expect him to be.

A wonderful 1996 tomboy-era Chan Marshall performance of “Nude as the News”. The drummer in this clip is Steve Shelley from Sonic Youth. He was an early adopter and promotor of Chan, he very much helped launch her career in various ways. Cute little sitch.

Today this gem arrived. Now I have my run complete. I was published in later issues as well. Sadly it no longer exists.

🛸Fox News Origins — The UFO Files from Rupert Murdoch’s First Newspaper | South Australia | 1957–1983 These were the UFO files kept inside the old News Ltd building in Adelaide, where Rupert Murdoch began building the media empire that would eventually include Fox News. These folders were the UFO file from that newsroom. Six original folders labeled “Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO),” dated by hand: 1957–June 1959, 1968, 1969, 1978, 1979–80, and 1981–83. Before the internet, this is how a newsroom kept track of UFO stories. Roughly a thousand original newspaper clippings from Australia and around the world, many still showing their mastheads and dates, along with about 40 pages of handwritten reporter notes. The notes include case times, locations, saucer sketches, and follow-up information. These are the actual working files and notes kept by the newsroom, not material compiled years later. A pretty incredible piece of Australian UFO and newspaper history to have survived together. #UFO #UFOs #UAP #UFOTwitter

In 1952, inside a secret laboratory in Maine, a doctor entered a trance and allegedly made contact with something calling itself “The Nine.” For decades, the same mysterious intelligence would reportedly speak through people around the world. Who- or what- were they? Benevolent entities? Something darker? Or part of an elaborate experiment in manipulation and mind control? THE NINE TAPES investigates the mystery through original recordings, documents, and never-before-heard tapes dating back to the 1950s. Coming soon.

Been sick as a dog for three days. Started looking my old George Van Tassel “Proceedings” issues again. First one I picked up was a 1957 issue that was mailed to OG crash/retrieval researcher Leonard Stringfield. It featured content about UFO contactee Howard Menger’s photos/books, which were somewhat recent at the time. The next issue I picked up was one that was mailed to that same fella, Howard Menger. It was a much later 1975 issue, mostly featuring Integratron material. I just thought it was beautiful being connected to these UFO people that I like, in oblique, spider-webey ways.

Such a rad musical moment from the 2000s. Trent Reznor (NIN) and Peter Murphy (Bauhaus) guesting with (super underrated) band TV on the Radio. They were all on tour together, and did this collab. This is a soundcheck performance, which is why so few people are in the audience.

Newest food obsession. It’s sold in the section where they sell refrigerated juice. It’s so good that I have to practice extreme self control to not drink a gallon in a day.

A 1960s UFO space brother channeled message, relating to contactees Gabriel Green (AFSCA), Hope Troxell, and others. “Remu from mars is speaking. His spacecraft is overhead.”
