Magazine Overview

Title: Newsletter KPUFO
Issue: 5/2005
Date: 2005
Publisher: KPUFO
Country: Czech Republic
Language: Czech

This issue of the KPUFO Newsletter addresses its members and fellow researchers, emphasizing the need for a more structured approach to managing and resolving issues related to anomalous phenomena. It highlights recent successes and outlines future directions for the organization.

Organizational Developments and Collaborations

The newsletter announces that the structure and functioning of the KPUFO club have served as a model for the establishment of a similar organization in Slovakia, named 'Klub psychotroniky a UFO – SK'. KPUFO is actively working to connect sincere researchers and is collaborating with 'Projekt ZARE' and 'FFC' on a project to investigate anomalous phenomena and other mysteries at Zvikov Castle. Despite differing approaches, a common research direction has been agreed upon, and initial investigations have taken place. The findings will be made available to researchers on the KPUFO FTP server for discussion and to encourage active participation.

New Sections and Projects

To address current issues concerning anomalous phenomena, a new section called 'Anomal' has been created. This was prompted by researchers who submitted a project to state authorities for the investigation of so-called gravitational anomalies (or optical illusions?) near Moravské Třebové, Litoměřice, and Liberec. The 'Megalith' section has successfully advocated for the protection of the Kounov stone circle, the stone circle at Cehnice, and a 'henge' type object near Horní Metelsko.

Psychotronics and Archaeology Collaboration

The section of researchers in psychotronics has been approached by archaeologists who have requested their involvement in a project focused on the psychotronic exploration of a specific locality that will subsequently be studied comprehensively. This is considered a groundbreaking development in the recognition of psychotronics and KPUFO itself, requiring utmost seriousness and responsibility from all participants.

International Database and Outreach

A new database of anomalous phenomena is being compiled for ufologists in the Czech Republic and other countries. This database is designed to ensure data security and provide an overview of anomalous phenomena among participants, particularly researchers in Central Europe. Through Jevgenije Sidorov, the head of the Latvian UFO center in Riga, who visited KPUFO in Plzeň from September 21-22, 2005, KPUFO has reached out to researchers in Russia, Belarus, and the Baltic states to invite their participation.

Membership and Publications

The newsletter includes a payment slip for membership fees and next year's magazines. Members who are behind on payments are encouraged to pay for both years. Members who have already paid are assured their contributions are accounted for. The membership fee has remained unchanged for several years. For members and the public, a new magazine, 'Cesty psychotroniky' (Paths of Psychotronics), has been launched, along with a bulletin from the megalithic section. The creation of further bulletins is not ruled out. KPUFO finances various activities for these sections, offering members additional benefits in accessing information.

• Membership options are detailed:
• KPUFO membership - 115 CZK (without printed magazine)
• KPUFO membership - 300 CZK (includes 'ZAZ' magazine)
• KPUFO membership - 185 CZK (includes 'Cesty psychotroniky' magazine)
• KPUFO membership - 370 CZK (includes 'ZAZ' and 'Cesty psychotroniky' magazines)

Individual magazine subscriptions are also available: 'ZAZ' for 185 CZK and 'Cesty psychotroniky' for 120 CZK.

Call for Participation and Resources

KPUFO encourages individuals who cooperate with the organization to become members and actively participate. Members are urged to seek out and verify cases of anomalous phenomena in their vicinity and to inform KPUFO if they wish to join investigations. Bi-weekly email updates are sent to all members. The KPUFO portal (http://www.kpufo.cz/portal) is updated daily with articles, announcements, and information about magazines and events. New pages titled 'ZAHADY VE FOTOGRAFII' (Mysteries in Photographs) have been created at http://www.kpufo.cz/oblasti/ufo/foto.o, where new cases are regularly added.

Efforts to revive the Central European Researchers' Council for cooperation in the field of anomalous phenomena are currently hindered by language barriers. KPUFO is seeking assistance with translating materials to and from Russian. They are also working towards the factual establishment of a Club of Psychotronics and UFO in Slovakia. Assistance is also requested for correspondence with foreign researchers, including translation of materials from Russian and Polish, and managing electronic correspondence.

An individual is seeking the book 'Kniha nevysvětleného' and 'Tajemství ohně' by J. Berggier and requests anyone who can provide them to get in touch. Information on this year's agro symbol findings is requested for a compilation.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The newsletter reflects KPUFO's commitment to systematic research into anomalous phenomena, ufology, and psychotronics. It emphasizes collaboration, both domestically and internationally, and the importance of disseminating information through its publications and online platforms. The organization appears to be growing and seeking to legitimize its field of study through interdisciplinary cooperation, particularly with archaeology. The editorial stance is one of active engagement, encouraging member participation and seeking to overcome obstacles like language barriers to foster a broader research community.
