Type: Bulletin (first in a new series)
This document is the inaugural issue of 'The New SIGAP Bulletin', a publication by the Surrey Investigation Group on Aerial Phenomena (SIGAP).

SIGAP was founded in 1967 and is a non-profit, voluntary organization dedicated to studying unidentified flying object phenomena.
Content Summary
Introduction and Group Activity
The bulletin begins by welcoming readers to the first issue of this new series, noting that the group's last publication was the 'Esher May Fair' edition of 'Pegasus' in 1969. The group has decided to become more active due to a significant renewed interest in UFOs. Apart from a steady stream of local reports, SIGAP has been involved in several investigations. A principal case highlighted is the sighting of UFOs by the pilot, crew, and passengers of a British Airways Trident aircraft. This report came to the group's attention a year prior, and the pilot recently brought the case to public notice to seek an explanation. Despite a widely reported explanation that the objects were balloons, the bulletin states that a number of anomalies are still under investigation by the group.
Membership Information
The bulletin includes a draft leaflet explaining the aims of the group, designed to inform potential members and encourage applications. Interested individuals are invited to join SIGAP, and an early reply to the provided address is requested. The annual membership fee is £3, intended to cover administrative costs, postage, and investigation expenses.
Upcoming Meetings
Details are provided for the next meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, July 19th, at 9:15 pm in the saloon bar of the Wooden Bridge Hotel on the Bypass in Guildford. This will be an informal gathering, following a regular broadcast on the hospital radio service, Radio Lion. The new season of meetings will recommence on Tuesday, September 6th, with a programme being prepared and details to be circulated to members.
Bulletin Format
The format of this interim bulletin is described as temporary. Photocopies of some existing investigations are attached for the reader's information.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The primary theme of this bulletin is the renewed activity and focus of the Surrey Investigation Group on Aerial Phenomena in response to public interest in UFOs. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious investigation into anomalous aerial phenomena, particularly highlighting a specific case involving a commercial flight. The group emphasizes its voluntary, non-profit nature and its commitment to covering administrative and investigative costs through membership fees. The bulletin serves as an informational tool for both existing and potential members, detailing group activities, upcoming meetings, and ongoing investigations.
