In 1957, Ray Palmer created a new magazine, Flying Saucers From Other Worlds (later retitled Flying Saucers) and stopped publication of the old. This is often mistakenly taken as a continuation of the old magazine, and this confusion was deliberately created by Palmer so that sales outlets would not have to be persuaded to take a new magazine. In fact the magazines overlapped for two issues with ambiguous titles.
