History

New Atlantean Journal occupied the intersection where ancient mystery research met UFO studies. The publication explored lost civilisations, anomalous archaeology, and unexplained phenomena, treating these subjects as parts of a connected puzzle. Its editorial stance drew from a long tradition of alternative history writing that questioned orthodox timelines and proposed that advanced civilisations existed in deep antiquity, civilisations whose traces survived in myths, megalithic structures, and anomalous artifacts.

The journal attracted contributors and readers from both the ancient mysteries community and the UFO research world. This crossover audience reflected a real intellectual current in anomaly research. Many UFO investigators were drawn to ancient astronaut theories, and many alternative archaeology enthusiasts followed UFO developments closely. New Atlantean Journal served as a meeting point for these overlapping interests, publishing articles that ranged from analyses of megalithic sites to discussions of modern UFO encounters.

Ancient Astronaut Crossover
The ancient astronaut hypothesis, popularised by Erich von Däniken's "Chariots of the Gods?" (1968), created a permanent bridge between archaeological speculation and UFO research. New Atlantean Journal occupied that bridge, publishing writers who took both ancient anomalies and modern sightings seriously as evidence of non-human contact across deep time.

The journal built a substantial record of this hybrid research tradition. Its pages document the questions, theories, and evidence that animated the ancient mysteries community during its years of publication, preserving a body of work that sits outside the boundaries of both mainstream archaeology and conventional UFO research.

From the Archive
Cross-reference with Fate Magazine, which covered ancient mysteries alongside UFO reports from its founding in 1948. See also Flying Saucers (Ray Palmer), whose editor was an early promoter of the Shaver Mystery and connections between ancient civilisations and aerial phenomena.
