Socorro Saucer: Ray Stanford
$75.00A UFO landing was reported at Socorro, New Mexico, on April 24, 1964. This was witnessed by police officer Lonnie Zamora and an unidentified tourist. It was also later reported and documented as having been witnessed (in flight) by 5 tourists traveling through Socorro at the time. Three physical items of evidence were retrieved, but this information was censored; Zamora was instructed not to reveal the red insignia he saw on the UFO; an FBI agent told him to deny seeing two humanoid figures beside the UFO; and the U.S. Air Force tried to hide the fact that the soil at the site was highly radioactive at the landing site. Various 'explanations' were rushed out to the media: the testing of a lunar landing device by personnel from the White Sands Missile Range; a prank perpetrated by students from the nearby New Mexico Tech - an explanation supported by the then-president Stirling Colgate. UFO skeptic Steuart Campbell suggested that what Zamora observed was "almost certainly" a mirage of the star Canopus...except star mirages don't normally sound like an explosion, nor do they produce flames as Zamora consistently claimed. So what really happened at Socorro that had to be covered up? Illustrated with photographs. -

Intervention: Julian May
$65.00For 60,000 years the five races of the Galactic Milieu have watched and waited for the time when human mental development on Earth is ready for the Intervention. As the 20th century draws to an end, phenomenal mental powers are displayed by operants all over the Earth - they can 'farspeak' to one another telepathically. They can build mind-shields and they are capable of coercion by the power of mind. One of these is Rogatien Remillard, a dealer in second hand books, whose memoirs - written a century on - are the basis of this chronicle. Here is a world where the mind is a weapon; here are two brothers, each possessed of extraordinary powers. One is a peace-bringer and the other is an advocate of evil. Cover art by Stephen Bradbury.
