Informacni bulletin KPUFO SK - 2008 No 01

Magazine Overview

This document is the "INFORMAČNÝ BULLETIN" (Information Bulletin) No. 1/2008 from the "KLUB PSYCHOTRONIKY A UFO – Slovenská republika" (Club of Psychotronics and UFO – Slovak Republic). Dated April 23, 2008, it is an internal material of the club, published in electronic form as needed. The bulletin aims to connect and inform members and researchers interested in UFOs and related anomalous phenomena.

Editorial Message

The bulletin opens with a personal message from Martin Tóth, addressing his colleagues and researchers. He apologizes for his recent silence, attributing it to objective and subjective reasons, including providing an interview for Kosicky vecer and being in the Czech Republic for work. He welcomes new colleagues and expresses his gratitude. Tóth explains his current situation: he is working for an American company in Germany, where private activities and mobile phone use during work hours are prohibited. This limits his communication, forcing him to handle matters in batches. He requests that members communicate primarily via email and to inform him if they wish to react to any information, sending copies of their responses.

Tóth also thanks colleague Tomáš Stankovič for creating a new header for their website and for redesigning the web portal. While the complete overhaul of dozens of pages was beyond his immediate capacity, he assures that the new design is aesthetically pleasing and will be further developed. He emphasizes the importance of the KPUFO website being a central hub and encourages members to link to it from their own websites and other platforms.

To facilitate reporting of anomalous events, the website will feature online questionnaires. Tóth urges members to place these links on their sites, noting that even though the Czech center handles some aspects, Slovakian matters are managed by their local team.

• Reporting psychotronic phenomena (poltergeists, apparitions): http://www.kpufo.cz/codelat/gg.htm
• Reporting crop circles: http://www.kpufo.cz/codelat/cc.htm

Tóth confirms the development of a new portal, KPUFO.CZ/PORTAL, which will run concurrently with their existing one. He hopes that their combined efforts will attract new individuals to the field.

He states that all reported UFO cases are archived, but there is a shortage of people to enter them into a database. He appeals for volunteers who would be willing to help with this task, offering to provide the necessary Access database templates.

Content Sections

Case Submissions

Readers are invited to submit cases from specific years or months, with no problems anticipated.

"UFO" Photographs

All submitted "UFO" photographs are featured on the "Zahadne fotografie" (Mysterious Photos) portal. Tóth notes that the quality of these photos has not yet been world-class. He mentions an attempt to recruit a photography expert for the web portal, but no one has yet volunteered. He personally describes the photos as they are presented, inviting discussion if anyone disagrees.

Original photographs are available upon request, provided the sender specifies the photo's designation (e.g., F20070824_something).

Anomalous Psychotronic Phenomena

Information on older cases of psychotronic phenomena, such as poltergeists, is available on the website and in the KPUFO archive. Those interested in processing these cases, summarizing them for the web, are encouraged to contact Tóth, who will provide them with the necessary materials. A specific unsolved case mentioned is the information regarding a "haunted house" in the village of Bušince, in the district of Velký Krtíš.

Local Slovak Mysteries

Local Slovak mysteries are also featured on the website. Tóth expresses that he is not aware of any unfinished or new cases in this category. He admits to browsing these websites when he misses home, finding comfort in exploring mysterious and anomalous topics. Recent articles include "Tajomné Bojnice" (Mysterious Bojnice) and "Záhadný kruh na mure v Čachticiach" (Mysterious Circle on the Wall in Čachtice).

International Relations

Poland: A 12th UFO forum is scheduled to take place in Wroclaw on May 17, 2008. A link to more information is provided: http://www.wylatowo.pl/news.php?dzial=n_new&art=671.
