Yesterday, Tony Eccles (a British UFO researcher) kindly donated copies of "The Researcher" publication (of which he was the primary editor) to the AFU. Today, searchable copies of "The Researcher" are freely available online - with his permission.
Tony edited most issues of "The Researcher", with the final few issues being edited by the late Mark Rosney.
"The Researcher" was associated with "MARA", which was the "Merseyside Anomalies Research Association". It focused mainly on UFOs, with articles featuring various UFO incidents (especially from the United Kingdom, including Rendlesham and the "Knutsford Flying Triangle") plus some articles on various other "anomalies", including Alien Big Cats, Remote Viewing and parapsychology. It also included some articles on mind control and Jack the Ripper.
Tony has commented that "The Researcher" was "supposed to be a research mag but it became a mix of scepticism and belief. MARA started off as NARO members but who had a Liverpool base in common". He recalled that "One of the issues is concerned with Chinese lanterns which had only just became popular, so we had been puzzled by these lights for some time".
