KPUFO Informacni bulletin - 2005 No 01

Magazine Overview

This is the first issue of the KPUFO Newsletter for 2005, dated "c.1/2005". KPUFO (Czech organization for research into anomalous phenomena) aims to continue its activities and research into anomalous phenomena in the new year. The newsletter covers organizational updates, upcoming events, membership information, and calls for member participation.

Organizational Updates and Initiatives

The newsletter begins by welcoming members to the new year and expressing hope for continued interesting activities. Efforts are underway to secure financial support through regional grants and programs aimed at leisure activities, which could benefit local clubs and groups. Discussions are also progressing regarding the ownership and maintenance of the Kounov megalithic sites, following up on a project initiated last year. The 'Megaliths' section, established in 2004, is now publishing its own bulletin, and members are asked to indicate if they wish to receive it and how they plan to contribute.

KPUFO plans to produce small informational leaflets titled "Region... from the perspective of mysteries," focusing on promoting megalithic sites. Funding for these leaflets may come from grants, but a significant portion is expected from advertising by sponsoring companies. Members are encouraged to participate in this initiative by contacting the organization for details on how to proceed.

Additionally, smaller promotional materials titled "Region... from the perspective of mysteries" will be distributed by local members to museums, castles, and other locations. The organization thanks those who have already participated and urges others to get involved, emphasizing that member activity will speed up the process.

Upcoming Events and Seminars

The Association of Researchers in Psychotronics is planning a spring seminar on "automatic drawing" and may revisit topics related to archaeology or history. Their publication, "Cesty psychotroniky" (Paths of Psychotronics), now features original materials, supplemented by older articles from the ZAZ magazine. For KPUFO members, a wealth of new written materials, including conference proceedings and studies, are available digitally through a password-protected section of the KPUFO archive.

The newsletter reminds members of the importance of timely payment of membership fees and magazine subscriptions, noting that fees have remained unchanged for several years. It also clarifies that any overpayments will be automatically credited to future years.

• January 22, 2005: Meeting of FFC members with guests from Zare and KPUFO in Otvoovice.

Ongoing Research and Member Involvement

KPUFO continues its primary mission of searching for and investigating cases of anomalous phenomena. Members interested in participating in investigations are encouraged to inform the organization.

Despite the launch of the KPUFO portal (http://www.kpufo.cz/portal), which was intended to handle all communication, it has not yet fully replaced email updates. The portal is updated daily with articles, announcements, and information about magazines and events. However, due to member feedback highlighting the usefulness of email for certain matters, such as financial reporting, KPUFO is reinstating email communications for these specific purposes. Members are urged to regularly visit the KPUFO portal and to encourage friends and acquaintances to do the same.

International Collaboration and Slovakian Branch

Attempts to revive the Central European Council for Cooperation in the Field of Anomalous Phenomena have been hampered by language barriers. Assistance with translations from Russian is sought.

There are also efforts to establish a formal Club of Psychotronics and UFO in Slovakia.

Archive and Specific Requests

KPUFO's club archive has received a significant amount of new material, including original works on geopatogenic zones. Help with translating German materials is requested.

Members are asked to report any local sites with legends or actual sacrificial stones, and to send photographs. Information about the activities of the Templars in their respective regions is also solicited. Finally, members are asked to send all available information about this year's agrosymbol findings for compilation.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The newsletter reflects KPUFO's ongoing commitment to researching anomalous phenomena, including UFOs, megalithic sites, and psychotronic events. There is a strong emphasis on member participation, both in research and in the distribution of promotional materials. The organization seeks to foster a community through its publications and online portal, while also navigating practicalities like funding and international collaboration. The editorial stance appears to be proactive, encouraging members to engage with the subject matter and contribute to the collective knowledge base.
