PDFs: Jim Melesciuc's "Orbiter" UFO newsletter (USA, 1980s-1990s)

Further to my post yesterday enquiring about Jim Melesciuc, I have now uploaded all 37 issues of Jim Melesciuc's"Orbiter" newsletter.

This newsletter contained a lot on Gulf Breeze (mainly skeptical) and quite a bit of material by Barry Greenwood, Dr Willy Smith, Christopher D Allan, and others.

The first issue declared an objective of seeking to "clarify the reliable evidence of an important phenmmenon that has recently been clouded by a fog of fringeness and mysticism". Jim Melesciuc wrote in that issue that "the UFO phenomena cannot be explained away - people worldwide are still reporting maneuvering apparently controlled unknown aerial objects".

Subsequent issues included debates of various well-known cases from a range of viewpoints in more depth than most other periodicals - and included more skeptical voices than most UFO newsletters. Those cases included the Gulf Breeze case, the Linda Napolitano case, the MJ12 documents, Flying Triangles (including the triangles reported over Belgium), several "Blue Book Pearls", various claims by Marina Popovich and, of course, Roswell.  

It also included numerous contemporaneous press cuttings about UFOs.
