informační bulletin

Magazine Overview

This issue of the "informační bulletin" from the Klub psychotroniky a UFO (KPUFO) is dated 2/2007 and is identified as issue number 76. It covers the club's activities, research, and publications, with a focus on psychotronics, UFOs, and related phenomena.

Activities and Events

The bulletin reports on the successful, though somewhat flawed, 8th annual fair of non-profit organizations held on April 4, 2007, at Tyršův dům in Prague. KPUFO presented its work on UFOs, psychotronics, agrosymbols, and megaliths. The presentations are available for members for self-study and for use in lectures. The club is seeking help to create English and Russian versions of these materials.

A trip to Ireland is proposed, focusing on the country's numerous megalithic sites. The club is preparing a program and cost estimate for this potential excursion.

The issue details the completion of research into "ringvaly" (circular earthworks), with a proposal submitted to the Ministry of Culture for monument protection and the establishment of an educational trail. They are seeking non-profit organizations to assist in this endeavor.

A meeting and investigation of "kruhů" (crop circles) on Včelín hill near Ivanské jezero, Rychnov n. Kn., took place from March 17-18, 2007. However, the expected connection with megaliths or "henge" objects was not confirmed. The group also visited vortex sites near Kačerov and Moravská Třebová, and new pseudomenhirs in Říčky v Orl. Horách. This meeting involved 16 colleagues from various KPUFO branches.

The "Fantastic Facts Club" (FFC) is organizing a conference called "Sfinga 2007" at Houska Castle on May 19, 2007, focusing on mysteries and the exploration of historical undergrounds. Participation is by pre-registration only.

An inquiry is made about organizing a meeting at the Čertovy skály motel in Lidečko, Valašsko, for members from Moravia and Slovakia, potentially involving a two-day event with full board for up to 50 participants.

Project "Záře" (Ray) held a meeting on March 31, 2007, in Prague. Reports covered the project's goals, meteorology by P. Žárský from ČHMÚ, and KPUFO's tasks. Future tasks include investigating UFO cases and anomalies at Zvíkov, such as battery discharge, radioactivity anomalies, and comparing marks on a bridge and castle. They also plan to search for the legendary settlement of King Marobud and investigate vitrified sites. Meeting minutes are available on FTP KPUFO2000.

Publications and Archive

The bulletin announces the upcoming publication of a new book by Oldřich Válek on theoretical problems in psychotronics, expected in May. It also mentions the release of another "Příručka badatele" (Researcher's Handbook) focusing on dowsing.

New pages dedicated to "Záhadné fotografie" (Mysterious Photographs) have been launched on the KPUFO website, inviting visitors to contribute to the assessment of submitted images.

The club is seeking assistance in creating a collection of works by Konrád Brotz from KPUFO Česká Lípa, which are available on the club's website. They are looking for a younger colleague from North Bohemia to help with computer processing and potentially continue Brotz's work.

An appeal is made for information regarding "podivní svatí" (strange saints) for a research cycle, with contributions to be sent to [email protected].

• Several research suggestions are presented:
• "Milníky?" (Milestones?) near Chudenice, involving stones in a row with alleged unreadable carvings.
• A menhir located in Sokolovsko, near Březová, approximately 1.7 meters tall.
• The "Bílovická 'Nazka'" (Bílovice 'Nazca'), a large figure-shaped crop mark in a field near Bílovice.
• An inquiry about positive energy in a chapel at the Capuchin monastery in Fulnek after its reconstruction.

The "Inzerce" (Advertisements) section lists various publications available for purchase, including books on "Tajemná tvář krajiny mezi Berounkou a Brdy" (The Mysterious Face of the Landscape between Berounka and Brdy), "Když na Moravě uctívali bohy Luga a Luzinu" (When the Gods Lugo and Luzina Were Worshipped in Moravia), proceedings from international psychotronics conferences (Záhřeb 1986, Sao Paulo 1979), and "Les marches du Palais" by Serge Cassen.

Internal publications for KPUFO members include "Mimosmyslové síly a jejich využití" (Extraneous Forces and Their Use) by Herold Sherman, "Člověk a vesmírné cykly" (Man and Cosmic Cycles), "Příručka badatele II. - Materiály ke studiu psychotroniky" (Researcher's Handbook II - Materials for the Study of Psychotronics), and "Příručka badatele IV. - Materiály ke studiu psychotroniky - proutkařství" (Researcher's Handbook IV - Materials for the Study of Psychotronics - Dowsing).

Also available are "Kol. aut.: Konference k problematice psychotroniky v archeologii" (Co-author: Conference on the Problems of Psychotronics in Archeology) and "Kol. aut.: Příručka badatele II. - Materiály ke studiu psychotroniky" (Co-author: Researcher's Handbook II - Materials for the Study of Psychotronics).

Membership and Cooperation

The bulletin reminds members to pay their annual membership fees, which include the "Informační bulletin" and bulletins from other sections like "Megalit."

It explains KPUFO's strong engagement in international cooperation, stating that it is crucial to overcome the stagnation in ufology and anomalous phenomena research. This stagnation is attributed to a lack of collaboration and information exchange between research centers and individuals, leading to isolation and a disconnect from reality. The bulletin cites the example of Hungary as a case of such isolation.

An account of a visit to a Polish UFO forum on April 28, 2007, in Wroclaw highlights the differences in approach compared to Czech conditions. The Polish event featured short presentations with little time for discussion, and the author notes that such a format might not be well-received in the Czech Republic. The lack of audience questions was surprising. The bulletin points out that research centers in Poland are fragmented and lack cooperation, with each claiming to be the best. The lesson learned is the importance of maintaining domestic cooperation and selectively adopting the best practices from international colleagues.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the active engagement of KPUFO in research and fieldwork (megaliths, ringvaly, UFO cases), the promotion of its publications and archive, and the strong emphasis on the necessity of both domestic and international cooperation to advance the field of psychotronics and ufology. The editorial stance clearly favors collaboration, information sharing, and a structured approach to research, contrasting this with perceived fragmentation and isolation in other countries.
