Ultra-rare newsletter by early UFO contactee Orfeo Angelucci (USA, 1952/1953) now online : "most amazing and INCREDIBLE narration of all time"...

Orfeo Angelucci was one of the most prominent UFO contactees of the early 1950s.  He is described in a Wikipedia entry as "one of the most unusual" of the mid-1950s contacts who claimed to be in contact with extraterrestials.

In addition to his well-known contactee books, Orfeo Angelucci wrote a newsletter that is _much_ harder to obtain. 

An advert for this newsletter stated that it contains "the most amazing and INCREDIBLE narration of all time". It was stated to give "the keys to the entire 'flying saucer' phenomenon".

That newsletter, "20th Century Times", only appears to have survived for a single issue.  It was published in 1952 or 1953 (since it refers to events that happened in 1952, but refers to hopes for 1953).

Orfeo Angelucci appears to have sold annual subscriptions - possibly making this the first of many such newsletters that folded after receiving payments from enthusiasts...

The AFU has now scanned that newsletter and, since it is in the public domain under the copyright rules that apply in the USA to material from that time period which has now been registered, I have uploaded it to the AFU's online archive.

More about Orfeo Angelucci can be found in many books and on various websites, including on Hakan Blomqvist's blog.
