I'm not sure when it finally faded away, but from 1971 to the early 1980's, the Borderline Science Investigation Group (BSIG) was the premier organization investigating unexplained phenomena in East Anglia. Our quarterly journal was called 'Lantern', and we published 40 issues between the Winters of 1971 and 1982. As a founder member, I thought it only fitting to use some of the spare space on this website to store scans of each issue.

I no longer have a copy of No.1, and No.2 was so faintly printed (and in pale blue ink!) that it's unscannable. Previously I had only been able to show from No.8 onwards, as the first 7 issues were printed on the now-defunct 'foolscap' sized paper, before changing to the smaller A4. Now that I have a bigger and better scanner, all issues from No.3 to the last one are now available. With No.35, we changed from A4 to A5 format. To see the contents of each issue, click on the relevant cover image (or on the number if there's no cover available). The contents are stored as PDF files. If you haven't already got it, use the following link to download the free Adobe Reader software: http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/

I've given the titles of the main feature articles, but each issue also contains book and magazine reviews, comment, news round-ups, UFO reports, newspaper cuttings etc.
