The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the invasion and spy scares which were prevalent in conjunction with the British 1909 and 1913 airship waves. There are indications that these scares were current throughout the period 1902 to 1914. My newspaper research was centred on the 1909 and 1913 periods, and therefore probably presents a biased picture of the whole situation. This could also be true of the airship waves themselves.

In a Wallasey Garden
Jenny Randles
Magonia 3, Spring 1980
On Thursday November 29th 1979 I received a letter from a Miss Daisy J. (1) of Wallasey, Merseyside. It appeared that she had first written to the Society for Psychical Research, a representative of which had recommended that she read the book UFOs, a British Viewpoint, by Peter Warrington and myself.

Shadowland of Ufology
Nigel Watson
From Magonia 2, Winter 1979/80 and Magonia 3, Summer 1980.
Speculation on their extraterrestrial origin has, from the outset of our modern perception of the phenomenon, dominated our thinking about UFOs. Traditionally, ufologists have recorded reports of lights in the sky, daylight discs and a whole range of close-encounter cases under the presumption that UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft. This has meant that UFO investigations have concentrated on the alleged physical attributes of the UFOs.
