Amazing Stories

Arnold's involvement is often cited as a key link between Dahl's claim and what later became the Men in Black motif.

When Ray Palmer of Amazing Stories heard Dahl's tale, he passed it along to Arnold, offering him a stipend and essentially asking him to investigate.

In exchange for money and curiosity, Arnold visited Maury Island the day after his own famous sighting, but what he actually saw or learned remains shrouded in rumor.

Fast forward just a few days, two Air Force officers were dispatched to retrieve any evidence that might corroborate Dahl's account, and they disappeared in a plane crash outside Kelso, Washington.

The Telepathic Pickup by Samuel M. Sargent Jr.

From Amazing Stories, December 1925.

This is a LibriVox recording.

All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain.

So his dates are 1884 to 1967.

He was an editor at Amazing Stories, and he was sort of among the first editors in science fiction who not just maintained connection to the reader, but really encouraged readers to communicate amongst themselves.

Like if people wrote in with their address, he would publish that address and people could send each other letters.

Oh, so he was like fostering relationships among readers.

From NBC's X-1, this is Episode 9, Dr. Grimshaw's Sanitarium, first heard July 14, 1955.

And now, the original broadcast.

Countdown for blastoff.

Forward and Chapters 1 and 2 of Armageddon, 2419 A.D. Armageddon, 2419 A.D., by Philip Francis Nolan.

This story was first published in Amazing Stories, August 1928.

FORWARD Elsewhere I have set down, for whatever interest they have in this, the twenty-fifth century, my personal recollections of the twentieth century.

Now it occurs to me that my memoirs of the twenty-fifth century may have an equal interest five hundred years from now, particularly in view of that unique perspective from which I have seen the twenty-fifth century, entering it as I did, in one leap across a gap of four hundred ninety-two years.

Introduction.

These stories were written nearly a quarter of a century ago for the old Amazing Stories magazine.

The essence of any magazine is not its name, but its philosophy, its purpose.

That old Amazing Stories is long since gone.

The magazine of the same name today is different as the times today are different from the world of nineteen thirty.

Science fiction was new in nineteen thirty.

Where did it get published? Where was it written? When was it written? All of these things.

Green Slaves was a short story published in the sci-fi magazine Amazing Stories in their March 1965 issue, which I kid you not, in about nine days, I'll have a physical copy of that delivered to my parents' house.

So I'm very excited.

Anyway.
