Magazine Overview

This issue of the "informační bulletin" (information bulletin) from August 22, 2017, serves as a joint publication for several Czech research societies, including KPUFO, ČsAAA, FFC, BCS, Projektu Záře, Klub Záblesk, and SAVPJ. The bulletin's character is informative and community-oriented, focusing on upcoming events, news, and resources for members interested in paranormal phenomena, ufology, archaeology, and history.

Key Announcements and Events

The bulletin highlights upcoming events for researchers. A significant event is the "Podorlické setkání 2017" (Podorlické Meeting 2017) scheduled for September 8-10, 2017, in Jaroměř, with further details to be provided in a future issue. More immediately, a meeting is planned for Saturday, November 11, 2017, at the restaurant U Vodárny in Prague. This meeting is open to attendees who wish to participate with presentations, lectures, or reports. Interested individuals are encouraged to register by emailing [email protected]. The program for the Prague meeting includes an award ceremony for long-term researchers, a presentation by Tomáš Dosoudil on his book "Smrt ve žluté mlze" (Death in the Yellow Fog), a presentation by T. Stěhule titled "Did Hitler Disappear in South America? Let's look at his alleged residence," and a presentation by Petr Fiala on "Mysteries in Photography." A discussion is also planned on the problems of contemporary Czech 'záhadologie' (the study of mysteries/paranormal), covering topics such as 'záhadologie' as politics and conspiracy, 'záhadologie' as science and education, and a focus on researchers, enthusiasts, and younger participants.

Community News and Tributes

A section titled "Smutná zpráva" (Sad News) reports the passing of two respected figures in the research community. Karel Kýr, described as a colleague, researcher, and publicist, has died. The bulletin also mourns the loss of Jaroslav Vít, a researcher specializing in stone crosses. The sentiment "Budeme vzpomínat..." (We will remember...) is expressed.

Investigations and Mysteries

The "Pátrejte!" (Search!) section invites readers to contribute to ongoing investigations. One query asks for information about two circular objects reportedly located under a hill southeast of Nová Říše near Jihlava before World War II, with a local legend stating that a girl who slept beneath them would become foolish and ugly. Another query seeks the location of an alleged dolmen, photographed in the Liberec museum, which is believed to be situated in the Jizerské hory (Jizera Mountains). Links are provided for further details, including a KPUFO website page with photos and information.

International News

News from abroad includes the preparation for the opening of a Museum of Ufology in Minsk, Belarus, with information and a list of available items accessible via a VK link. In Ukraine, a "Research Society of Applied Eniology" has been formed, including a department for ufology and anomalistics. This society plans to host the "ENINV-2017" conference in Kyiv in November 2017, welcoming international colleagues. The bulletin also mentions that news from other international 'záhadologie' societies is featured in the "Bulletin Východoevropské asociace badatelů" (Bulletin of the East European Association of Researchers).
