Magazine Overview

This issue of the "informační bulletin" from Klub psychotroniky a UFO, o.s. (issue 2/2011, number 96) is dated February 2011.

(May 14, 1991).

Editorial and Membership

The editorial team expresses gratitude to members for their participation, help, and continued support. They are actively seeking a web creator and administrator for upcoming projects focused on "UFO" and "Projekt UFO MEMORY," as well as a leader for these projects. Interested individuals are encouraged to contact the club. The bulletin also explores the possibility of acting as a bridge between the American organization MUFON and Eastern European researchers, providing a link to VEAS (http://www.kpufo.eu/veas).

Announcements and Events

Prague Meetings: For those interested in UFOs, meetings for "Projekt Záře" are held every first Saturday of the month at the restaurant U prince Miroslava (K Vodojemu 4, Prague 5). To attend, prior notification via email to [email protected] is required.

Research Topics ("Náměty k bádání"):

• KPUFO Specialized Pages: The bulletin mentions existing specialized research pages at www.kpufo.cz/oblasti and seeks individuals interested in updating them or creating new websites. Specific topics for new sites include "Mysteries of the Nazi Occupation of CSR," "Atlantis and Other Mythical Lands," "Ley Lines: Origin and Hypotheses," and "Magic" – "The Voynich Manuscript."
• Faist Disk Translation: Researchers are intrigued by a purported translation of the Faist disk, with a link provided to an image (http://www.wmmagazin.cz/UserFiles/File/wm velke obrazky/disc-phaistos-tabulka.jpg). However, there is uncertainty about the accuracy of the interpretation. The bulletin invites anyone to attempt their own interpretation and create a new report.
• Historical Investigation: A request is made for information regarding the search for testimonies from World War II near Skrýšov in Sedlčansko, led by Jiří Tomis, chairman and founder of the "Blaničtí rytíři" association.

Summer Gathering: A proposal is made for a small summer weekend gathering in Bystřice nad Perštejnem. The minimal program includes a meeting in the town square, a trip to the nearby village of Vítochov to explore a Romanesque chapel with 14th-century frescoes depicting a starry sky (similar to how astronauts saw it from the Moon), and a visit to a former pagan burial ground. The program could extend to Jimramov and Polička, with dinner and departure in the evening. A more extensive program, including accommodation, could cover other local sites. Potential dates are July 2-6, 2011. Those interested are asked to stay in contact.

KPUFO Slovensko: The Slovak section notes that last year's proposal for a joint council of Slovak researchers led to misunderstandings and slander. They provide a link to download further issues of "Azimut záhad," a magazine for Slovak researchers (http://www.kpufo.eu/sk/). Contributions can be sent to [email protected]. Martin Toth is mentioned in relation to KPUFO Slovensko.
