Magazine Overview

This document is a newsletter from KPUFO (Klub psychotroniky a UFO - Club of Psychotronics and UFOs), issue number 3/2003. It serves as a communication channel for members, providing updates on club activities, upcoming events, and calls for participation and support.

Membership and Contributions

The newsletter begins with a direct address to members, encouraging them to actively participate in research during the summer months. Members are urged to visit mysterious places, record their findings, send photographs, and report any sightings of crop circles or other aerial phenomena immediately. They are also encouraged to network with other researchers, inform them about the club, and try to recruit new members, emphasizing the research-oriented nature of the club.

Key benefits of membership are reiterated: members receive the ZAZ magazine, have access to the internal KPUFO website, and receive priority in obtaining materials from the club's archive, including written documents and video recordings. Members are reminded to pay their annual contribution fee of 300 CZK and to submit a photo for their membership card if they haven't already, as the membership number is required for accessing the internal website.

The club also appeals for assistance with surplus office supplies, particularly A5 envelopes.

This CD includes the club's website (www.kpufo.cz), details on various regions, an album of megaliths in the Czech Republic, content from the internal KPUFO*2000 pages, and information from all branches and specialized KPUFO pages. The CD costs 100 CZK and can be ordered via mail or email.
