Features
32 Conspiracy Central (cover story)
Flying saucers, the Hollow Earth, the assassination of JFK and Watergate: one man connects them all. Brian J Robb explores the bizarre world of 'conspiracy nexus point' Fred Lee Crisman.
40 Astounding Science, Amazing Theories!
Ray Palmer and John W Campbell had very different approaches to publishing science fiction, but both were drawn to forteana and fringe science, as Andrew May explains.
46 Was It A Bird? Was It A Plane?
Seventy years after pilot Kenneth Arnold's seminal June 1947 saucer sighting, Nigel Watson asks whether a top secret test flight might have been responsible for the birth of the UFO age.
