Magazine Overview

This is the first issue of the KPU Newsletter for 2002, a publication from the Club of Psychotronics and UFO (KPU).

Key Updates and Announcements

New Website and Online Resources The newsletter announces the launch of a new club domain, `http://www.kpufo.cz`. This site complements the existing pages and features an internal section with materials accessible via a password, which is linked to the member's KPU number. Members can request this password via email at `[email protected]`.

10th Anniversary CD A CD commemorating the 10th anniversary of the organization is being distributed. The CD costs 100 CZK, and orders can be placed via post or email.

Membership Information The newsletter encourages individuals to join KPU, emphasizing its status as a serious research organization. The membership fee for 2002 is 300 CZK, which includes a subscription to the ZAZ magazine. Members are also asked to consider donating office supplies such as A5 envelopes. For correspondence, members are requested to provide their date of birth and, if they don't have one, to request their membership number and send a photo for an ID card.

Archival Contributions Members are invited to assist in processing and transcribing cases and materials from the club's archive, particularly those related to UFOs and anomalous psychotronic phenomena. They are also asked to update their contact information (email addresses, mobile phone numbers) to facilitate participation in investigations.

Chapter Updates New websites have been launched by KPU chapters in Sumperk, Litomerice, Zdar nad Sazavou, Jicin, Teplice, Rychnov n.Kn., and Frydek Mistek. These sites contain information on mysteries and solved questions from their respective districts.

Ongoing Projects KPU is collaborating with Project Zare on websites about UFO abductions. They are also preparing pages on unusual inventions, medieval mechanisms that were ahead of their time, and have updated pages on the Maltese circles.

Acknowledgements The newsletter expresses gratitude to everyone who sends press clippings, information, and material support.

In Memoriam

PhDr. Anna Raupachova, an honorary member of the Club of Psychotronics and UFO, passed away on December 30, 2001, after a long illness. The newsletter asks those who knew her to remember her.

Upcoming Expeditions and Events

Expedition to Moravia and Slovakia An expedition is planned for March 2001 to the Moravian-Slovak border region to investigate stone spheres and to Turzovka in Slovakia to explore sites of modern Marian apparitions.

Malta Expedition In May, KPU members will visit Malta to further develop a new theory about the origin and meaning of megalithic structures and to explore sites with Maltese circles.

"Spolecna cesta za poznanim" Event A gathering for enthusiasts of mysteries, titled "Spolecna cesta za poznanim" (A Common Path to Knowledge), will take place from May 17-19, 2002, in Morkovice (Kromeriz district). The event will feature lectures and discussions with ufologists. The cost is 650 CZK for full board and accommodation (with discounts for students, pensioners, and children). Contact Mgr. Jan Pavlik for more information and registration.

Skepticism and Counter-Activities

Czech Skeptics Club Event The Czech Skeptics Club is organizing an event in Prague on March 19, 2002. KPU expresses a desire to discourage journalists from attending, viewing the event as a "masquerade" where skeptics award each other, making it uninteresting.

Sisyfos Newsletter Information about the Sisyfos newsletter from the Czech Skeptics Association is available at `http://sisyfos.hyperlink.cz/sisyfos`. Copies can be obtained by mail for postage costs if internet access is unavailable.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The newsletter reflects KPU's ongoing commitment to researching UFOs, psychotronics, and other paranormal and unexplained phenomena. The organization presents itself as serious and dedicated to its mission. There is a clear emphasis on member participation, information sharing, and the development of online resources. The inclusion of requests for specific local information suggests a grassroots approach to investigation. The newsletter also acknowledges the existence of skepticism towards their field, as evidenced by their commentary on the Czech Skeptics Club event, while maintaining their own research focus.
