KPUFO Informacni bulletin - 2006 No 04

Magazine Overview

This document is the "informační bulletin" (information bulletin) of the Klub psychotroniky a UFO (KPUFO), issue number 73, dated 4/2006. The publisher is KPUFO, located at Borská 19, Hotel Victoria, Plzeň, Czech Republic. The bulletin is in Czech and covers topics related to psychotronics, UFOs, and anomalous phenomena research.

Key Activities and Announcements

The bulletin begins with a message to "Dear friends, colleagues, researchers," announcing that KPUFO will soon change its name to Klub psychotroniky a UFO, o.s. (civil association) due to a new law concerning citizen associations. It highlights ongoing international contacts and efforts to foster cooperation among research organizations, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe. Three members of KPUFO were hosted by Belarusian ufologists from UFOKOM, and a Latvian ufologist visited researchers in Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary to initiate a European network. A draft agreement for cooperation is presented in the 'Dokumenty' section.

Section Updates

SEKCE AGROSYMBOL (Agrosymbol Section): Thanks are extended for assistance with surveys and information gathering during the past season. Readers are encouraged to submit any available photographs or newspaper clippings.

SEKCE MEGALIT (Megalith Section): The municipality of Kounov is preparing to create access signs to the Kounov stone rows and an exhibition dedicated to the history of research on this site. KPUFO will participate in this project.

SDRUŽENÍ BADATELŮ V PSYCHOTRONICE (Association of Researchers in Psychotronics): Throughout the summer, despite hot weather, research was conducted at an archaeological site yielding interesting results. The section seeks more data and welcomes experienced psychotronics researchers to join. It's noted that scheduling for psychotronic research should allow for at least two psychotronics researchers to conduct measurements per day, with more than three individuals per day being difficult to manage time-wise.

Focus on Archeoastronautics

The bulletin revisits KPUFO's origins in archeoastronautics, acknowledging that while figures like Erich von Däniken focus on topics distant from the Czech Republic, there's a desire to explore potential archeoastronomical connections within the Czech Republic and Central Europe. Readers are invited to submit their ideas on what might suggest ancient visitations in the region. The three best ideas will receive a one-year subscription to the magazine ZAZ.

Anomalous Phenomena Research

The organization continues its primary focus: searching for and verifying cases of anomalous phenomena. Those interested in participating in investigations are asked to make their interest known.

Membership Fee Changes

Starting in 2007, membership fees and subscription prices will increase after several years. KPUFO members will continue to receive preferential rates, including for the ZAZ magazine. (The previous prices for 2006 are noted in parentheses).

Organizational and Event News

Meeting with Karel Hynek Mácha: A meeting took place on August 20, 2006, in Prague, where participants retraced a route, discussed a mystery, and talked about new projects. Although Karel Hynek himself was not present, the meeting facilitated connections among Prague-based and non-Prague colleagues, fostering new friendships and collaborations.

Yakutsk 2006: Ivan Mackerle presented his expedition to Yakutsk on September 20, 2006, at the 'Club of Travelers in Russia,' including a lecture, film, and Q&A session. A follow-up meeting in Chotěboř on September 22-24, 2006, will feature Mackerle's lecture and a screening of documentary material from the expedition.

SPOLEČNOST PRO VÝZKUM KAMENNÝCH KŘÍŽŮ (Society for the Research of Stone Crosses): This society (located at Muzeum Aš) organizes regular meetings on September 23-24, 2006.

International Conference on Complementary Medicine: This conference is scheduled from September 29 to October 4, 2006, in Prague, organized by Psi-Academy.

Erich von Däniken in the Czech Republic: The author and researcher Erich von Däniken will visit the Czech Republic again from October 18-22, 2006, with a lecture tour including stops in Pardubice, Olomouc, Ostrava, Brno, and České Budějovice. The tour is organized by Aldea.

Symposium on Informational Medicine and Therapy: Organized by SEBIT - Středisko zdraví BRNO, this symposium will take place on October 14-15, 2006, at Hotel Slovan in Brno.

Research Assistance and Publications

Assistance with Research Activities: The bulletin appeals for help with research activities. Specific cases mentioned include:

• Ice Chunk: An incident in Rotava (Sokolov) on August 10, 2006, where a 0.5-meter ice chunk fell, similar to a case in Hůrky (Plzeň-sever) on August 1, 1998, and a 1.5-meter ice chunk in Belarus. The bulletin asks if anyone has archival articles or data on such hypotheses, directing readers to KPUFO Plzeň sever and KPUFO Sokolov websites for more details.
• Vortex: Klub Záblesk has invited other researchers to jointly investigate a site in Kačerov near Rychnov nad Kněžnou, suspected of being a gravitational anomaly. A survey on August 26, 2006, yielded useful ideas. Readers are encouraged to visit the KPUFO website for this problem and participate in the exploration of other sites.
• Underground: A joint expedition by KPUFO and FFC is being planned to explore underground sites in Nové Hrady, South Bohemia. Contributions are welcomed.

Documents

Protocol (Draft): A draft protocol is presented, signed by authorized representatives of organizations from European Union countries.

Key points of the protocol include:

1. Each signatory party commits to taking measures to monitor anomalous phenomena in its country.
2. Parties are prepared to exchange information within the pan-European information space.
3. Parties affirm their effort to create a pan-European information bulletin.
4. Parties confirm their desire and readiness to participate in the pan-European project "Monitoring of Anomalous Phenomena in European Union Countries."
5. The protocol is an open document, accessible to any organization from an EU country.
6. Official project languages are English and Russian.
