Meetings and Editorial Board Activities

The editorial board and committee of ZAZ (a related entity) held discussions. The KPU's annual meeting is scheduled for October 1995, with further meetings planned. Members will receive draft statutes and other documents for review. A geological assessment for the 'Faces in Stone' case (previously reported in ZAZ 1/95) has been submitted to the UK for further examination. The ZAZ editorial board received material titled 'Visitors from Within' by Lissy Royal and Keit Priest from the Slovak Republic.

Upcoming Lecture Series: 'Alternative World'

Starting in autumn 1995, KPU will launch a series of lectures, discussions, and seminars under the title 'Alternative World.' The aim is to confront scientific knowledge with alternative theories and hypotheses. The series is structured as follows:

• September 14 & 21: The universe, its origin and concepts, alternative views based on myths and legends, solutions based on paranormal findings, and the issue of parallel universes.
• September 28 & October 5: The solar system, its origin, development, composition, potential other planets, possibility of life, myths, and legends.
• October 12 & 19: The search for extraterrestrial civilizations, including CETI and SETI programs, communication possibilities, and the UFO phenomenon.
• October 26 & November 2: Earth and terrestrial civilizations, concepts of civilization and human evolution, alternative concepts, civilizations in the secondary period, and other civilizational waves.
• November 9 & 16: Ancient civilizations, including Egypt, Sumer, India, China, Mesoamerica, and megalithic civilizations, with a chronological overview.

Lectures are held every Thursday at 7 PM at Kopernikova ul. 26, Plzen. Other organizational matters of the club will also be handled.

Special Announcement: Internal Dispute

KPU is receiving inquiries regarding its internal situation, specifically concerning the emergence of a new organization called 'Sirius,' led by Petr Novak, a former spokesperson for KPU. Novak joined KPU in 1994 and was actively involved in presenting the results of KPU's agro symbol research to the press. KPU acknowledges his significant contributions and had entrusted him with materials from the previous year's crop circle research to compile a comprehensive publication. However, Novak refused to consult with other KPU members involved in the agro symbol research and only did so after a confrontation with KPU leadership. While the publication's graphic design was good, its content reportedly lacked original ideas. KPU leadership did not criticize the content but pointed out formal adjustments needed (e.g., image numbering, author attributions) and provided additional materials in early July 1995 for potential additions. It is noted that even in this situation, Novak did not disclose which publisher would release the materials.

KPU learned from the daily press about the formation of 'Sirius,' which includes Novak and two other KPU members. They also became aware of Novak's visits to other KPU members and his attempts to destabilize the organization. His previous actions in April and May, where he opposed KPU's entry into Daniken's AAS (claiming AAS would absorb them and Daniken would dictate terms), and his compilation of a 'Declaration of Members' signed by about eight people, are now seen in a new light. It is revealed that Novak kept contacts with aeroclubs, obtained for aerial crop circle observation in 1995, to himself. These facts suggest a long-term plan to break away from KPU and split the organization, either through the 'Declaration of Members' or at the planned annual meeting in late May. The meeting was postponed to autumn 1995. Consequently, when this year's crop circles appeared, Novak felt compelled to launch his own organization. This has led to contradictory reports in the press, damaging the perception of the issue and the movement as a whole. Therefore, KPU states that further dialogue with someone who deliberately aimed to break up the organization and gain self-promotion at any cost is impossible. KPU reserves the right to take legal action if the publication on last year's crop symbols is released without their knowledge.

Cooperation with this group is not compatible with KPU membership. The Psychotronics and UFO Club will continue its activities, and its functioning in any area is not threatened. This situation highlights where excessive desire for popularity can lead.

Apologies are made for the late sending of IB 5/95, which was caused by sabotage during its publication.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the ongoing investigations into crop circles, the organization and promotion of lectures on paranormal and alternative topics, and the internal dynamics and challenges faced by the KPU. The editorial stance appears to be one of maintaining the integrity and focus of the organization, while also being assertive in addressing internal conflicts and external disruptions, particularly those perceived as attempts to undermine KPU's work or reputation. The newsletter also highlights the importance of scientific inquiry alongside alternative perspectives, as seen in the 'Alternative World' lecture series.
