"Look" magazine special issue on "Flying Saucers" (1967) - and some other "Look" UFO articles

A special issue of "Look" magazine entitled "Flying Saucers" was published in 1967.  

That special issue included one of the few instances of material relating to Roswell published between 1947 and the late 1970s, in addition to material about Kenneth Arnold, the Mantell incident and Dr Hynek. It included numerous photographs including "rare color photographs" of various "UFOs".

About 5 years ago, I had some contact with a Reddit user ("OK200") who had helpfully scanned that special issue. 

At that time, I was reluctant to post a searchable PDF version for copyright reasons. However, looking into this more recently, I think that the publishers surrendered their copyright in at least the images in this magazine (and possibly the text) to the US Government and a lot of the photos/material from Look is now on Government websites. Also, OK200's scans of this publication have been online for the last 5 years without any apparent problem. So, I have now uploaded a PDF version of this publication. 

I have also uploaded scans of several UFO articles from other issues of Look magazine, from between 1952 and 1968. Some of those are incomplete.
