Max B. Miller

Max B. Miller published Saucers magazine from Los Angeles from 1953 to 1959, producing one of the most thoughtful and level-headed UFO periodicals of the early era. At a time when most flying saucer publications traded in sensationalism or contactee claims, Miller maintained editorial standards that made Saucers readable to serious-minded people.

Miller was a working publisher, not an academic or military figure. He ran Flying Saucers International alongside the magazine and built a network of correspondents who provided sighting reports and analysis from across the United States and abroad. His editorial voice was calm and analytical, presenting evidence without the breathless tone that characterised many contemporaries.

The archive holds the complete run of Saucers. Miller's publication period coincided with the peak of Project Blue Book activity and the formation of major civilian organisations including NICAP and APRO. His magazine documented this era in real time, preserving letters, sighting reports, and editorial commentary that capture the texture of the early civilian UFO community.

The site is dedicated in part to publishers like Miller, whose independent work built the documentary record that later researchers depended on.
