KPUFO Informacni bulletin - 2000 No 03

Magazine Overview

This issue of the Newsletter KPUFO 3/2000 provides updates on the activities of the Club of Psychotronics and UFO (KPU), discusses ongoing research into anomalous phenomena, and announces upcoming events and publications.

KPU Activities and Membership

The newsletter begins with a reminder about reporting crop circle sightings and provides instructions for research. It announces that the KPU's bimonthly magazine, ZAZ, will continue to be published five times a year despite increased postal costs due to new legislation. The membership fee for KPU in 2001 is set at 285 CZK, which includes the ZAZ subscription, offering a slight discount compared to the previous year. For non-members, the ZAZ subscription will increase to 180 CZK. The editorial board expresses hope that these changes will improve the organization's activities and member information.

Expeditions and Events

KPU is organizing a research expedition to the "Val Camonica" region in Italy, near the Swiss border, known for its thousands of ancient engravings. Information on this location can be found in books by Walter Jorg Landbein and Erich von Daniken. The expedition is planned for September 2000. Additionally, an exhibition of photographs titled "Mysterious Crop Circles" will be held from June 17 to August 25, 2000, at the Zelena sedma photo gallery in Nejdek, near Karlovy Vary.

New Publications and Projects

Writer Jiri Wojnar is preparing to launch a printed magazine, initially quarterly and later bi-monthly, to be published in Czech, English, and German. This magazine aims for high-level content, distinct from sensationalist publications, and will be priced around 100 CZK, potentially including a CD-ROM. Advertisements will be restricted to specialized travel agencies and publishers whose offerings align with the magazine's serious approach. The content will feature serious and concrete works and opinions, including philosophy, that may face rejection elsewhere.

Paranormal Phenomena and Research

The newsletter addresses the formation of new groups interested in anomalous phenomena, cautioning members against associating with individuals who have previously harmed KPU. It emphasizes that the Club of Psychotronics and UFO remains an independent organization.

A Swiss doctor and neurologist suggests that ghosts and astral doubles are not unnatural, attributing them to brain damage affecting visual processing and parietal lobe function. He explains out-of-body experiences as a result of hyperactivity in the parietal lobes, sensitivity to visual signals, low oxygen, and emotional stimuli. Readers interested in these details are directed to contact Mr. Brugger via email. The newsletter also mentions that infrasound, measured at around 19 Hz in areas with apparitions, affects brain activity, and asks for reader experiences with infrasound.

An initiative is underway to create a community for individuals who have experienced phenomena similar to "UFO abductions" or other anomalous encounters. The goal is to connect those who have gone through similar experiences to share knowledge, exchange experiences, and provide mutual support, potentially involving KPU experts.

KPU previously reported on cases of strange substances appearing in closed apartments and mysterious stains. A fifth such case in the Czech Republic has now been noted, and readers are asked to search their libraries for similar documented cases in literature, legends, and folklore.

New Books and Magazines

The issue announces the release of two new issues (1 and 2/2000) of the CePeS magazine "Psychoenergetika," covering topics such as unconventional healing, energy effects, geopathic zones, psychic warfare, hormonal changes, and psychokinetic energy.

Advertisements and Announcements

The ZAZ magazine issue 3/2000 is announced, featuring articles on philosophy, Indian spirituality, a recap of the Oselce case, discoveries in Slovakia, stone circles, mysterious spheres, the "crop circles" phenomenon, Templars in Prague, interference phenomena, bulldozer mysteries, the occult roots of Nazism, ball lightning, geopathic zones, and magnetism. It also mentions a novel concerning the business law and weight loss.

International Society for the Preservation of Malta's "Car Tracks"

A new association is being formed within KPU Plzen to protect and preserve the ancient "car tracks" on Malta. The newsletter outlines the reasons for this initiative, highlighting Malta's status as a megalithic monument country with a rich history. The "car tracks," believed to be evidence of ancient intelligent activity, are unfortunately neglected by state authorities, with some areas being fenced but in poor condition. The society's preliminary goals include contacting the Maltese government, seeking support from authorities and the public, organizing international rescue expeditions for documentation and maintenance, and raising international awareness. They also plan further research, including underwater exploration and aerial photography. The society aims to foster personal development and facilitate the exchange of information among interested individuals. An international expedition to Malta is tentatively planned for January-February 2001. Contact information for Vaclav Cihla in Austria and the KPU is provided.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue reflects KPU's ongoing commitment to researching and documenting anomalous phenomena, including UFOs, crop circles, and paranormal experiences. There is a strong emphasis on maintaining the integrity and independence of the organization, warning against individuals or groups that may seek to exploit its members or reputation. The newsletter also highlights the importance of international cooperation in research and preservation of ancient sites and mysteries. The editorial stance is one of cautious investigation, encouraging members to share information and experiences while remaining discerning about the sources and intentions of others.
