For 62-HQ-83894 serial 449, what was Flying Saucers International?

Generated answer

According to the documents, *Flying Saucers International* was the official journal of the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America, Inc. (AFSCA), edited by Gabriel Green at 2004 N. Hoover Street, Los Angeles. Issue No. 24, dated July 1966, was the specific issue that came to the FBI's attention [62-HQ-83894/449]. The FBI's interest in the publication was triggered when Jarvis H. Cooper, an IRS employee in Philadelphia, delivered a copy to the FBI Philadelphia Division on September 19, 1966. Cooper stated he had subscribed because his son was interested in flying saucers and outer space, but he believed an article on pages 2 and 3 of Issue No. 24 expounded the Communist Party line. The Los Angeles Division forwarded the issue to the FBI Director on October 3, 1966, under an Internal Security classification [62-HQ-83894/449]. A separate correspondent, Mrs. Florence C. Dow of Goffstown, New Hampshire, also sent a copy of the same issue to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, similarly suspecting the organization was backed by Communists; an internal FBI note recorded that bureau files contained no record of the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America [62-HQ-83894/1815e6ac-040c-4e8c-85cc-0d2be98c8750].
