Flying Saucers International was a quarterly publication (1962–1969) of the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America (AFSCA), a prominent 1950s–1960s UFO organization. encyclopedia.com Key Details on AFSCAFounded: 1959 by Gabriel Green (1924–2001), a photographer and ufologist from California. Origins: It grew out of Green’s earlier Los Angeles Interplanetary Study Groups (started 1956) and his magazine Thy Kingdom Come (later renamed World Report and UFO International). wyominghistoryday.org Peak: Early 1960s, with about 5,000 members across 24 countries. The group held national conventions, petitioned Congress for UFO disclosure, and promoted public acceptance of flying saucers. encyclopedia.com Beliefs: Green claimed personal UFO sightings and telepathic contact with friendly extraterrestrials (the “Space Masters”). He believed these beings wanted to share advanced knowledge to solve Earth’s problems. AFSCA was optimistic/contactee-oriented rather than purely investigative. encyclopedia.com Decline: Largely faded after 1969 and became inactive. Green even ran for U.S. President in 1960 (and later) on a pro-UFO/contactee platform, sometimes called the “Flying Saucer President.”Other Similar GroupsInternational Flying Saucer Bureau (IFSB): Founded in 1952 by Albert K. Bender in Connecticut. It published Space Review but shut down abruptly in 1953 after Bender claimed visits from “three men in black.” A modern website (internationalflyingsaucerbureau.com) uses the name for UFO video uploads and discussions but is unrelated to the original. internationalflyingsaucerbureau.com Local “flying saucer clubs” also popped up in places like Vancouver in the 1950s–60s.If you’re looking for vintage newsletters, reprints, or modern UFO groups with a similar vibe, let me know for more specifics!
