This issue of the A.P.R.O. Bulletin, dated November-December 1967, serves as a compilation of global UFO sighting reports and organizational news. The bulletin highlights the increasing international interest in the subject, specifically noting the Soviet government's establishment of an official commission to investigate UFOs, led by Major General Profiry Stolyarov. Dr. Feliks Zigel of the Moscow Aviation Institute is cited regarding the systematic study of sightings in Russia. The document details numerous specific incidents, including a landing in Dawley, Shropshire, England, where a lorry driver observed a disc-shaped object with a vacuum-like attachment; a landing in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, involving three white-clad figures; and a reported landing in Ashland, Nebraska, by a police patrolman. The bulletin also addresses the 'Snippy' horse death case in Alamosa, Colorado, noting the discovery of bullets in the carcass. Additionally, the publication provides updates on APRO's administrative challenges, including mailing issues, and reviews new literature on the subject, such as Ivan Sanderson's 'Uninvited Visitors' and Arthur Bray's 'Science, the Public and the UFO.' The bulletin concludes with a 'Global Scene' section, summarizing various sightings across Argentina, Colombia, Brazil, Britain, Russia, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Peru, Laos, Venezuela, and the United States, emphasizing the widespread nature of the phenomenon.
It is safe to claim that the UFO problem has assumed a global character and therefore calls for global research.
