COSMIC DEBRIS: Zodiac and Palmistry '77

At last! A wooden Ouija board! Though the Touch Palmistry Game looks far more interesting:

And Kreskin too!

The podcast Lunatics Radio Hour have episodes covering the game and its creator Maxine Fiel, one of those personalities who was a fixture of 70s pop culture but has the barest digital footprint nowadays. She passed away in April 2020 according to her obituary, at the incredible age of 96. 

From Fate, Volume 23 - Number 12, December 1977.

 

THE U.F.O. INVESTIGATOR, Jan-Feb 1967

Volume 111, Number 11 of NICAP's own in-house newsletter The U.F.O. Investigator, covering January and February of 1967. The books section features an ambivalent review of Coral and Jim Lorenzen's Flying Saucers: The Startling Evidence of the Invasion From Outer Space. The Lorenzens and their UFO group APRO regularly published UFO occupant reports with a gleeful credulity that chafed the more staid NICAP. Also featured is a Belmont/Tower Books cheapie by L. Jerome Stanton, Flying Saucers: Hoax or Reality? Immediately following this is an announcement that contactee Daniel Fry has had his NICAP membership revoked!

The Noel Collection was the life's work of Mr. James Smith Noel. It is one of the largest private collections of antiquarian books, prints, and maps in the United States and is currently on permanent loan to Louisiana State University Shreveport. The books are still being explored--the majority are uncataloged and thus somewhat unknown, but they are believed to number between 200,000 and 250,000 volumes.
