Vimana was the official newsletter about ufology of the Detroit Flying Saucer Club published by Henry Maday as Editor, and Laura Marxer as Contributing Editors. On July 15, 1954, a meeting was held at the Detroit Truth Forum held at the Veteran's Memorial Building, Detroit for the purpose to organize a Flying Saucer Club of Detroit. Affair was presided over by George Adamski and approximately 250 persons attended. A movie "The Day The Earth Stood Still" was shown. On entering, each person was given a card on which he was requested to sign his name, address, and the reason he is interested in joining a Flying Saucer Clubj i.e., scientific, religious, or merely curious. Persons submitting said cards will be contacted in the future regarding Saucer Club activities and assigned to a club. The first official meeting of the Detroit Flying Saucer Club was held on August 18,1954 at the Veteran's Memorial Building with Henry Maday as Head of the Committee & Laura Marxer as President. The main idea was to create a forum for UFO experience and saucer sightings. Also, the main concern of the group was the proliferation of A-Bombs. These are the first 5 issues (1954 - 1955) issues of Vimana, letter size, B/W, and are one of the earliest serials UFO publications. Saucerian Publisher was founded with the mission of promoting books in Science Fiction, Paranormal and the Unknow. Our vision is to preserve the legacy of literary history by reprint editions of books and magazines which have already been exhausted or are difficult to obtain. Our goal is to help readers, educators and researchers by bringing back original publications that are difficult to find at reasonable price, while preserving the legacy of universal knowledge. This title is an authentic reproduction of the original printed text in shades of gray. Despite the fact that we have attempted to accurately maintain the integrity of the original work, the present reproduction may have minor errors beyond our control like: missing and blurred pages, poor pictures and readers' pencil markings from the original scanned copy. Because this book is culturally important, we have made available as part of our commitment to protect, preserve and promote knowledge in the world. These issues are an authentic reproduction of the issues of Vimana the years: 1954-1955. Great, but unpretentious, these issues are extraordinarily rare symbols by themselves of what was going on in those early years of the modern UFO era.
