Fate Magazine

Mind you, this was well before the so-called Malibu anomaly was discovered.

And back in 2006, I wrote an article for Fate magazine titled, Is There an Undersea UFO Base Off the California Coast? to my surprise and delight the editors at fate magazine put it on the cover the article itself went viral and was published all over the internet and even in newspapers and it led to a series of interviews i started speaking on this subject and the history channel called me up and asked me to be a part of their show deep sea ufos It was very successful, so they called me back for Deep Sea UFOs 2 and other television programs, and this of course led to more reports coming in.

I eventually collected 150-some reports of UFOs and USOs, and I plotted them all on a map.

And as I looked at these dots on the map showing the distribution of these UFOs and USOs, it became clear to me that they were clustered all in this one area, the Santa Catalina Channel, but particularly off the coast of Malibu.

Mostly, however, he seems to have been a sort of journalistic gun for hire, writing articles and snapping photos about whatever he could sell.

In 1952, what he was able to sell was a feature headlined, See Mystery at Our Back Door to Fate Magazine, which had started up just four years earlier and quickly earned a complicated reputation for kicking off UFO mania.

The lead for Sand Story read, in this watery region off the coast of Florida, ships and aircraft vanish without leaving a single clue.

The content was mostly the same as Jones's article, but with greater detail and a lot more color.

The reported witness, Judge August Peck, cannot be found in any historical record of Summer County.

So how did this fascinating tale begin? The earliest known published story about David Lang's disappearance appeared in July 1953 in an article by the mystery novelist Stuart Palmer, appearing in Fate magazine.

Palmer alleged that he had spoken to Lang's daughter Sarah, who had told him of the disappearance, and even of a message from Lang's mother, whom she claimed to have received a message from a spiritualist in 1929. but further investigation showed that Palmer's account was almost certainly a fabrication.

The handwriting on the so-called spiritual message ultimately turned out to be Palmer's own, and the affidavit corroborating the tale was signed only by Palmer himself.

So there was no choice but for the family to move on, with a devastating loss not only to their family unit, but to their very hearts and souls.

Now in the magazine Fate, in June of 1953, a very similar disappearance story was published.

Depending on who you ask, you'll hear people swear to the truth of the legend, and still others will attest the story has been thoroughly debunked.

Whatever you choose to believe about what happened to David Lang and his family, whether it be a well-written story which originated in the late 1800s, or a true account of something that really happened to a man in the same time period, I hope we can all certainly agree we are hearing more and more true stories just like this in modern times.

In Fate magazine, the article was called How My Father Disappeared, and was allegedly taken straight from an interview with the daughter of the man who was said to have vanished into thin air.

She was a witness to the strange happenings that day and the days to come.

Her name was Sarah Lang, and the story of her father disappearing mid-step right in front of her very eyes is one of legend, whether true or not.

Here's another very interesting case.

This comes from an article in the February 1959 issue of Fate magazine.

The witness is Bernard K. Shaffer.

He's a Greyhound bus driver, and he wrote in a letter to Fate magazine that on June 25, 1952, he was driving through the Mount Washington suburb area of Pittsburgh, and this is when he saw a flying saucer.

And I'll just quote Bernard directly.

As he says, I glanced to my right and saw it.

This one's so interesting [laughs].

A very unusual humanoid encounter.
