KPUFO Informacni sdeleni - 2017 05 03

Magazine Overview

This issue of the 'informační bulletin' (informational bulletin) from May 3, 2017, titled 'badatelských spolků' (research societies), focuses on recent activities and upcoming events within Czech and Slovak research communities, particularly those interested in mysteries, parapsychology, and UFO phenomena.

Conference Phoenix in Holíč (SR)

The main event covered is the 'Phoenix' conference, which took place from Friday, April 28, to Sunday, April 30, 2017, in Holíč, Slovakia, and was organized by SAVPJ. The conference began with participants arriving and settling into the San hotel, followed by a walk to the stones and Holíč Castle, with discussions continuing late into the night.

On Saturday, April 29, the conference officially commenced at the educational academy. G. Slováková welcomed attendees and introduced the work of SAVPJ. Miroslav Karlík and Luboš Šafařík were recognized for their long-term research efforts. The day then featured a series of lectures:

• Ondrej Repa discussed the greatest mysteries of Slovakia, mentioning the 'Moon Shaft' and SAVPJ's methods for solving cases. More information is available on their website: http://www.savpj.org.
• Rudolf Irša presented the history of megalith discoveries in Holíč. Further details can be found on his website and in his books: http://irsa.szm.com/irsa.blgz.cz/index.html.
• Aleš Rumler spoke about energies, the city of Shambhala, and UFOs.
• After lunch, a purported clairvoyant, Izabela Czabaiová, shared experiences from her practice.
• Karel Dudek presented his research findings on the Voynich Manuscript, detailed in his book "Stopa míří do Čech" (The Trail Leads to Bohemia). A link to purchase the book is provided: https://knihy.abz.cz/prodej/stopa-miri-do-cech-tajemstvi-voynichova-rukopisu.
• L. Šafařík lectured on nuclear weapons and their connections to the field of research into mysteries.
• F. Vrbenská delivered a typically high-quality presentation on historical curiosities surrounding the children of Marie Antoinette.
• Following dinner, J. Schrötter introduced the concept of psychosomatic zones.
• Milan Zacha Kučera gave a costume performance and shared interesting information about the life of J. A. Komenský and its connections to Rosicrucian manifestos and secret societies.

The day concluded with a screening of the film "Sprisahanie šedej rasy" (Conspiracy of the Grey Race), with an introductory word from M. Karlík. Information about the film can be found at: http://www.csfd.cz/film/497429-spiknuti-sede-rasy/prehled/. After the film, participants engaged in night photography of the stones, hoping to capture hidden images in the shadows.

On Sunday, April 30, after breakfast, the group visited Kalvária, where the stones were originally located. They then visited a nearby windmill and toured Holíč Castle. The excursion continued to Kopčany for a visit to the stud farm and chapel. In the afternoon, participants bid farewell and departed for home.

The bulletin emphasizes the rarity of opportunities for Czech and Slovak researchers to meet, highlighting the value of such gatherings and expressing hope for their continuation.

Recent Activities and Discoveries

• Jihlava Underground Lecture: On April 24, 2017, a lecture was held at a museum in Jihlava about its underground passages. The underground is well-documented, with a problematic illuminated corridor reportedly built by the army in 1915 and painted with luminous paint. The paint's chemical composition is not considered unusual. This corridor was also found at Špilberk and was not used during WWII in factories near Litoměřice. The bulletin laments that visitors are damaging the passages by taking pieces. One corridor is kept inaccessible for preservation. A geological fault within the passages affects sensitive individuals. Tales of a fourth dimension and ghosts were not confirmed; the eerie atmosphere is attributed to darkness and dripping water. The passages were originally used as cellars for food storage, and their interconnectedness led to frequent infidelity. Currently, it is a tourist attraction.

• New Website: A new website dedicated to Peru and South America, covering history, archaeology, civilizations, and travel, has been launched by Tomáš Stěhule. The website address is: http://tom-stehule.com/.

• Historical Polar Lights: In 1562, Melantrich z Aventýna published two woodcuts in his pamphlets depicting the polar lights on the night of March 13-14, 1562. One woodcut shows a battle between Christian and Turkish armies, while the other depicts a realistic landscape with a town and mountains. The polar lights are shown with condensed and cloudy drapery above the landscape and town, described as "very strange and wondrous visions and miracles." The bulletin poses the question: "Can we find these woodcuts?"
