KPUFO Informacni bulletin - 2010 No 04

Magazine Overview

This document is the 4th issue of the "Newsletter KPUFO" from 2001, published by KPU (Czech UFO organization). It serves as a communication channel for members, providing updates on organizational matters, research findings, and calls for information.

Membership and Organization Updates

The newsletter begins by reminding members about the upcoming CD ROM release commemorating the organization's 10th anniversary. Members who ordered it will receive it with the next issue of the newsletter. The price of the CD is 100 CZK, payable with the 2002 membership fee. Orders should be sent in writing or via email.

KPU also discusses the proposal for an annual "World UFO Day" and the associated declaration. Member feedback on this initiative is welcomed, and differing opinions are noted. The organization emphasizes its commitment to cooperation and fulfilling its promises, including contacting a Turkish company that proposed the idea.

Members who have not yet paid their membership fees are urged to do so, contributing with any excess office supplies like A5 envelopes. They are asked to provide their date of birth for record-keeping and to request their membership number if unknown. A photo is also required for the membership card.

The membership fee for 2001 is 285 CZK, which includes the "ZAZ" magazine. This is considered a minimum, and higher contributions are welcome. For 2002, the membership fee is proposed to be minimally increased to 300 CZK, also including "ZAZ". Members are asked to provide their feedback on this proposal.

The organization presents itself as a serious research organization that has never compromised its mission or reputation. Membership is described as a challenge and a commitment appreciated by all.

The KPUFO 2000 work server has been operational since September 2001, running continuously from Monday 7:00 AM to Friday 3:30 PM. Access rights can be requested via email at [email protected].

To celebrate KPU's 10th anniversary, humorous stickers will be distributed with correspondence, along with other promotional items like glasses and t-shirts. Additional items can be produced upon request based on member suggestions.

KPU is seeking assistance in processing and transcribing cases and materials from the club archive, particularly those related to UFOs and anomalous psychotronic phenomena.

Members are requested to inform the organization of any changes to their email addresses or mobile phone numbers to facilitate their participation in investigations of anomalous phenomena.

Regional Reports and Online Presence

In recent months, new websites have been launched by KPU members from Pisek and Blansko. The websites of KPU Rokycany and KPU Ceska Lipa are being updated, and new pages for the KPU Pelhrimov branch are in preparation. The creators of these websites are thanked for their contributions, which feature mysteries and solutions from their respective regions.

UFO Abductions Discussion

Between February and May 2001, an internet discussion took place regarding the nature and meaning of UFO abductions. The outcome was a plan to create specialized web pages dedicated to this issue. These pages aim to not only categorize and analyze information, opinions, and hypotheses but also to support individuals whose lives have been significantly impacted by such experiences. The project is based on a previous initiative mentioned in the previous year's newsletter.

Collaboration and Information Exchange

The newsletter highlights ongoing discussions with the "Zare" project aimed at normalizing relations and fostering cooperation in other areas. Collaboration between members of both organizations in various regions is encouraged, and opinions on this matter are requested.

Members are thanked for sending newspaper clippings, valuable information, and material assistance, with a promise to uphold their trust.

Skepticism and Controversies

A European skeptic congress was held in Prague, and its outcomes will be reported. The newsletter also mentions the poisoning of 38 people during a "meditation" event by Petr Chobot in June 2001. KPU's stance on this matter was published in "ZAZ" 3/2001, and six individuals have joined a lawsuit against the state prosecutor, with a petition issued for Chobot's acquittal.

Research Expeditions and Findings

In August 2001, an expedition to Austria to visit megalithic monuments was undertaken but yielded no significant results due to poor weather.

Thanks are extended to all who assisted in the research of crop circles and agro-symbols this year, noting a decrease in findings compared to previous years. Members are asked to submit any data, especially maps and locations of pictograms.

Queries for Information

The newsletter poses several questions to its readers, seeking information on various phenomena:

• Svitavy: Reports of a poltergeist activity in the 1920s in Police, Hegrova street, where a priest named Riha lived. Details and contemporary records are sought.
• Nachod: Information about the Marian apparitions in Suchem Dole u Police nad Metuji, which occurred between August 10, 1892, and 1895. A book on the subject has been published.
• Rychnov nad Kneznou: A mention of Krivice village (Rychnov n. Kn. district) in connection with the "circles in the forest" case near Zihle. It is said that pine trees there have bent tops because witches used to sit on them. The source is cited as Stejskal's "Labyrinth of Mysteries." Readers living nearby are asked to investigate.
• Kolin: Reports of a haunting in Trech Dvorech in 1907, possibly documented in the magazine "Cesky Lid" (page 90). This reference has not yet been found.

• Decin: In 2000, near an agro-symbol in Krasna Lipa, a boy mentioned finding a crop circle with green slime in 1999. A photo of the boy is available.
• Kladno: In April 2001, a man reported strange occurrences in an old house near the ramparts in Slanem. Investigations are ongoing.
• Cheb: Preparation for the establishment of a center for ML (Mediumistic Laboratory?) and related activities is underway, with a proposed plan of action. Investigations are also being conducted regarding the "executioner's meadow" (Popravci louky), including reports of death marches, ringvals, and Tri krize.
• Ceske Budejovice: A comprehensive report on a UFO sighting in Pelhrimovsko on January 18, 1993, can be found in the South Bohemian Library (SVK).

They are encouraged to consult books and articles, and to send copies of legends and stories, preferably transcribed into electronic format. Each submission should include a precise source, author, publication name, year, and page number. Specific locations of interest include Bezdez, Blatna, Veveri u Brna, Budyne nad Ohri, Bystricka – Klenov, Cejkovice, Cervena Recice, Dacice, Dobris, Choustnikovo Hradiste, Jamolice - Templstejn, Janovice v Podjestedi, Klasterec nad Orlici, Klentnice, Kopidlno, Kunetice, Hrad Helfstyn, Lodherov, Male Zernoseky, Mlada Boleslav, Olomucany, Plumlov, Hrad Saumburg (Kromeriz), Potstejn, Praha – Cakovice, Racice (Vyskov), Ralsko, Sloup v Cechach, Stare Hrady (Jicin), Stramberk, Telc, Vamberk, Vanov, Vyskytna, Zvikov, Zleby, and other locations.

UFO Abduction Literature

FFC Information Request

KPU requests that readers send them informational bulletins from FFC, specifically issues number 4, 8, and subsequent ones.

Atlantis and Dowsing Research

Readers are invited to share any knowledge they have about the mythical land of Prince John (Atlantis).

Moravian region: KPU is seeking someone to process materials obtained from the estate of dowsing practitioner Oldrich Hradil. Hradil traveled extensively throughout Moravia and Bohemia, documenting underground passages and archaeological artifacts. His materials contain data on approximately 250 villages where he psychotronically identified graves and underground structures. These are not continuous texts but handwritten notes. The data needs to be processed into an MS Excel table format for further research and verification.

Publications Update

The 50th issue of the KPU magazine "ZAZ" (4/2001) has been published. Members who have not received it should check their subscription status. The publisher, Vcelka, thanks KPU for their recognition. The first issue of "ZAZ" was released on July 1, 1992, with 5-6 issues published annually.

A newly processed publication on eye protection by P. Kalina, titled "Ty a tve oci" (You and Your Eyes), is available. It includes exercises, dietary advice, and information on eye diseases, costing 39 CZK. Orders can be placed with KPU or the publisher, Vcelka.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The newsletter consistently promotes active member participation in research and information gathering. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration, both within KPU and with other organizations. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious, albeit sometimes speculative, investigation into UFO phenomena and other anomalous events, while maintaining a professional and reputable image. There is a clear effort to engage members through queries, requests for information, and updates on ongoing projects and publications.
