KPUFO Informacni bulletin - 2005 No 02

Magazine Overview

This document is a newsletter from KPUFO (Czech UFO Researchers Association), issue 2/2005. It focuses on the organization's activities, contacts with other research groups, and ongoing investigations into paranormal phenomena.

International Cooperation and Contacts

The newsletter opens with an appeal for international cooperation, stating that anomalous phenomena transcend borders and that national research efforts can be limited. KPUFO is actively developing contacts with researchers in neighboring countries.

• Poland: KPUFO maintains contact with CBUFOiZA, noting that the two main Polish organizations, Centrum badan UFO and Nadace Nautilus, are rivals and do not communicate with each other.
• Slovakia: Most UFO clubs have dissolved, with the Hyperion club being the main formal entity. Researchers are gathering around the "UFO magazin." A new group, KPUFO – SK, is being formed with approximately 40 interested members.
• Ukraine: Contact has been established with UFODOC, which has a national database program for tracking anomalous phenomena. This has led to discussions about creating a unified database for different national entities to communicate.
• Latvia: An active UFO center exists.
• Belarus: The Ufologiceskij komitet is active, and information exchange occurs with this organization.
• Austria: Efforts are being made to establish cooperation with researchers focusing on agrosymbols.

Domestic Situation and Challenges

The situation with related research organizations within the Czech Republic is described as unsatisfactory.

• Projekt Zare: In February 2005, a fire threatened the UFO case database of Projekt Zare, causing it to be out of service for several months. This incident, along with learning about the Ukrainian ufologists' program, prompted a radical step to overhaul KPUFO's own database. The main meeting for Projekt Zare took place on April 2, 2005.

Meetings and Events

• Fantastic Fact Club (FFC): A meeting was held on January 22, 2005, in Otvovice. This organization, centered around a former magazine, has seen its membership dwindle from about 200 to 20. The chairman, J. Purkrta, was incapacitated for several months due to an accident. The club's internal newsletter, "Delta," is available online and contains materials from FFC, Zare, Zablesk, and KPUFO. FFC organizes an annual seminar, "Sfinga," at Houska Castle and other expeditions.
• Czech Psychoenergetic Society Meeting: On February 26, 2005, Ing. Oldrich Valek (Association of Researchers in Psychotronics) and L. Safarik (KPUFO) attended part of the general meeting of the Czech Psychoenergetic Society. Despite being invited to discuss cooperation, no actual discussion took place, as in previous years. They presented materials, and the chairman, Ing. Bazant, offered a proposal for healer training.
• Healer Training Discussion: A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to discussing the proposed healer training. A doctor offered assistance, while another delegate eagerly anticipated its start.
• Evzen Andres' Presentation: Andres gave a lengthy, rambling presentation about using Vltavín (Moldavite) stones for healing, which he later substituted with limestone and even random garden stones, claiming they also had healing properties.
• Andrej Sandor's Presentation: Andrej Sandor from Slovakia presented his successes in neutralizing geopathogenic zones in factories and agriculture, citing animal behavior as confirmation. However, the lack of published studies means his claims are considered anecdotal.
• Diamond Water Demonstration: Sandor also demonstrated the production of "diamond water" by bringing a gemstone (tourmaline) close to a bottle of mineral water, claiming to transfer information via a dowsing rod. Some attendees photographed this demonstration.
• Vitalita Magazine: Guests from the new Slovak magazine "Vitalita" were present, and their first issue was distributed.

KPUFO Activities and Publications

• KPUFO/SBP Cooperation: Cooperation with CePeS is limited to exchanging publications, with no response received to KPUFO's proposals.
• Psychotronics Research: The newsletter discusses the need for the Association of Researchers in Psychotronics to adapt its activities, focus on new researchers, and seek out diploma theses related to psychotronics.
• Publications: The "Cesty psychotroniky" (Paths of Psychotronics) newsletter aims to improve its quality. The website www.psychotronika.cz now features a glossary of over 200 terms. KPUFO is also providing digitalized archival materials (lecture collections, studies) to its members via the internet, accessible with a password.
• Membership Fees: Membership fees have remained unchanged for several years. Different membership tiers are offered, including options with or without subscriptions to "ZAZ" and "Cesty psychotroniky" magazines.
• Call for Citizen Science: Members are encouraged to investigate and verify anomalous phenomena in their local areas. KPUFO sends out email updates every two weeks.
• KPUFO Portal: The portal at www.kpufo.cz/portal is updated daily with articles, announcements, and information about magazines and events.

Past Events

• Zare Main Meeting: Held on April 2, 2005, in Ruzyně.

• Ufologists' Meeting: Scheduled for May 27-29, 2005, in Morkovice (Kroměříž district).

Future Initiatives and Requests

• Central European Research Council: Efforts to revive this council for cooperation in anomalous phenomena research are hindered by language barriers. Assistance with translation from Russian is sought.
• Club of Psychotronics and UFO in Slovakia: An initiative is underway to establish this club.
• International Correspondence: Assistance is requested from anyone willing to help with correspondence with foreign researchers.
• Club Archive: The club archive has received significant materials, including original works on geopathogenic zones. Help with translating German documents is requested.
• Sacrificial Stones and Templar Influence: Readers are asked to report any local sites with legends of sacrificial stones or actual stones, and to send information and stories about Templar activity in their regions.
• Agrosymbols: Information on this year's agrosymbol findings is requested for a compilation.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The newsletter consistently promotes international collaboration in UFO and paranormal research, highlighting the limitations of isolated national efforts. It acknowledges rivalries and communication issues between organizations but emphasizes the importance of information exchange. The editorial stance is one of active investigation, encouraging member participation in data collection and verification. There's a clear focus on documenting and analyzing anomalous phenomena, with an interest in psychotronics, geopathogenic zones, and historical mysteries. The newsletter also serves as a platform for promoting KPUFO's activities, publications, and membership benefits, while also seeking contributions and assistance from its readership.
