Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America (AFSCA)

The Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America was a California-based non-profit saucerian organisation, formed in 1959 by Gabriel Green as a successor to his earlier Los Angeles Interplanetary Study Groups. AFSCA was most active during the sixties and early seventies, publishing a series of newsletters and magazines, including Thy Kingdom Come (1959), World Report (1959-61), UFO International (1962-65), and Flying Saucers International (1966-69), and orchestrating conferences in Los Angeles, California and Reno, Nevada.

Among varied ephemera produced by AFSCA, the more famous included: postcards featuring one of Paul Villa's flying saucer photographs, claimed to have been taken 16 June 1963 near Albequerque, New Mexico, with the title "See... FLYING SAUCERS Are Real!" (as well as a holiday-themed version reading "Merry Christmas From Out Of This World"); bumper stickers that read "Flying Saucers Are Real, The Air Force Doesn't Exist"; and round pin-back buttons featuring an Adamski-style saucer at center with the words "FLYING SAUCERS ARE REAL" encircling.
