Process - The Forest Thinks and...

A. E. van Vogt

Process by A. E. van Vogt - An ancient intelligence stirs, locked in a struggle for survival against forces both familiar and alien. But when outsiders arrive with their own secret agenda, the battle takes an unexpected and perilous turn. 
Alfred Elton van Vogt, (A. E. van Vogt) was born on April 26, 1912, in Edenburg, Manitoba, Canada, and grew up on a series of remote farms in the prairies before his family eventually settled in Winnipeg. A shy and introspective child, he developed a love for stories at an early age, devouring books and radio dramas while imagining vast adventures of his own. Before turning to science fiction, van Vogt worked as a census taker, farmhand, and in advertising, sharpening his skills as a writer with confession stories and radio scripts. 
In 1939, inspired by reading the landmark issue of Astounding Science Fiction that featured John W. Campbell’s vision of a “new wave” of science fiction, van Vogt decided to devote himself fully to the genre. His first published story, “Black Destroyer,” appeared in Astounding in July 1939 and made an immediate impact. From that moment, van Vogt emerged as one of the Golden Age’s most influential authors.

Early UFO Sightings: The History...

Editors Charles River

When people think about unidentified flying objects (UFOs), they tend to think of flying discs piloted by gray beings with large heads and enormous eyes. They also might believe that these sightings only started relatively recently and that belief in UFOs is some sort of modern phenomenon brought on, perhaps, by the very justifiable fears of a nuclear age. But a study of UFOs quickly reveals that people have been reporting the existence of unidentified flying objects since the beginning of recorded history, and perhaps a lot longer than that. 
	Modern Ufology focuses on mysterious lights on Ceres or tales of alien abduction, but this wasn’t always the case, and looking at how the beliefs in the UFO phenomenon have changed or stayed the same can shed light on how culture and belief changes over time. One does not have to believe humans are actually being visited by aliens from another planet to recognize the importance of UFOs in society. Any widespread belief that endures for centuries is worthy of study, and as always, cases exist that can’t be explained away simple superstition. 
	Most everyone in America is familiar with theories about UFOs, or “flying saucers” as they were often called then, but even this name dates back only to 1947. Before that time, they were called “ghost rockets” or “ghost airplanes” or “ghost airships.” Before the age of flight, the flying objects were called various things such as “flying chariots.” No matter what terminology is used, every generation has clearly had its own belief that mankind is not alone.
