The SAUCERIAN was a saucer magazine founded by Gray Barker, as editor. The main idea behind The SAUCERIAN, like many similar publications of that time, was to create a forum for UFO experience and saucer sightings for the purpose of the investigation of spacecraft, extra-terrestrial travel, and other subjects relating to these matters in order to encourage public support of projects in connection with these phenomena. The SAUCERIAN was published under the banner of Barker's Saucerian Books.
Gray Barker (May 2, 1925 - December 6, 1984) was an American writer best known for his books about UFOs and other paranormal phenomena. His 1956 book They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers introduced the notion of the Men in Black to UFO folklore. He spent most of his life in central West Virginia, earning a degree from Glenville State College, teaching school, and booking acts for local theaters.
Barker's interest in unidentified flying objects was sparked by mysterious sightings of the Flatwoods Monster in 1952. Following the 1967 collapse of the Silver Bridge in Point Pleasant, Barker published his next book, The Silver Bridge, which popularized the Mothman legend. In 1983, he wrote MIB, The Terror Among Us, about the Men in Black.
Saucerian Publisher was founded with the mission of promoting books in Science Fiction. Our vision is to preserve the legacy of literary history by reprint editions of books which have already been exhausted or are difficult to obtain. Our goal is to help readers, educators and researchers by bringing back original publications that are difficult to find at reasonable price, while preserving the legacy of universal knowledge. Very rare The SAUCERIAN collection! This is a rare set of The SAUCERIAN issues published by Gray Barker between 1953 and 1955. These are VERY hard to come across these days. We decided to published them as a collected edition as a set (6 issues) to make it easier for someone to add them to their flying saucer / UFO collection. This book is an authentic reproduction of the original printed text in shades of gray. ___Copy and paste the link for our books: [...] ___
