UFO articles from mainstream USA magazines : Some collections expanded (e.g. "Male"), some other gaps filled (e.g. "Look", "Life") - mainly with John Keel articles

Further to my recent uploads of UFO articles from various mainstream magazines from the USA, I've now been able to obtain a number of articles to fill in gaps in those collections - including the previously uploaded collections explicitly aimed at men.

A significant number of these gaps have been filled due to the efforts of a new contributor to the UFO archive: Jerry Hamm. (Jerry's Scribd page includes many UFO articles, with a focus on material by John Keel, and he has kindly said that I can use his scans to fill in gaps in my online archive).

For example, the collection of UFO articles from "Male" magazine has now increased from a single article (which was included in a mass of material kindly provided by Russian researcher Mikhail Gershtein) to a total of 11 articles. Conversely, Jerry's collection includes two UFO articles from "Men" magazine - so I've created a folder for the "Men" magazine and started looking for additional material from it (and uploaded a UFO article provided by Mikhail Gershtein to a folder for a sister publication, "Men Annual").

Jerry Hamm's contributions have also fixed a few smaller frustrating issues. For example, my previous upload of a collection of 11 articles from "Life" magazine included an incomplete copy of one article (1966 04 01_Life) - which I've now been able to replace with a complete copy. Similarly, the collection of UFO articles from "Look" magazine includes a better copy of one of those articles.  

Although the informal network contributing to the online archive now comfortably exceeds 100 UFO groups/researchers, each additional contributor potentially results in an ability to fill in more gaps and/or obtain permission to upload more material - or identifying further potential sources of material...  

Several French researchers, particularly Pierre Lagrange and Patrice Seray, have also been continuing to help to fill in gaps in the magazines from the USA e.g. of Look magazine articles.
