Continuing the story of Lawrence Cardenas, the Dearborn man who claimed to see a flying saucer at the intersection of Rotunda and Southfield Road in 1954, we go back to the origins of the story in the inaugural issue of the Vimana. Which, as was pointed out in the Saucer Life podcast on Laura Mundo - who plays a part in this story as a personal friend of Cardenas - they spelled the name wrong on the masthead.
The story, as shown below in the 2017 reproduction of the first five issues, would eventually make local headlines and Cardenas was given a lie detector test by the Michigan State Police for the feature in which he was shown not to be truthful. He maintained that he had seen what he described and could not be dissuaded. His association with Laura Mundo Marxer didn't help matters and the wording of his connection to her as [having] known this Mexican and his wife for many years likely didn't raise the esteem that he was held in.
