"A Saucer Researcher's Responsibility to Humanity"

Nevada State Journal, July 8, 1966

Laura Mundo attended the third national convention of the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Club of America at the Centennial Coliseum in Nevada in July of 1966 giving a talk entitled, "A Saucer Researcher's Responsibility to Humanity." Considering that her newsletter was called the Emergency Press one can bet that she meant what she said.

The group was ridiculed as cultists by Dick Norton, curator of the University of Nevada's Fleischmann Atmospherium - Planetarium, saying "There are no scientists involved in this, and I don't believe anything significant will come out of it in regard to unidentified flying objects." Norton was for scientific exploration of the phenomenon but called the attendees amateurs who didn't practice the scientific method. He was not wrong on that account.

Daniel Fry, the supposed first man to ride aboard a spaceship, was also in attendance at the symposium.
