THE A.P.R.O. BULLETIN - SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER, 1969

The September-October 1969 issue of The A.P.R.O. Bulletin provides a comprehensive overview of the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization's activities, including recent sighting reports, organizational updates, and administrative developments. A significant portion of the bulletin is dedicated to the organization's acquisition of tax-exempt status from the U.S. Bureau of Internal Revenue, which is expected to facilitate future research funding. The bulletin details several UFO sightings, including a radar-visual incident in New Zealand involving Captain R. Cullum and First Officer N. Faircloth, where an object was tracked by the New Zealand Air Force for 100 miles. Other reports include a landing claim in Mobile, Alabama; multiple sightings in the Philippines near a satellite station; and recurring sightings in the Anolaima area of Colombia, which are linked to the death of Arcesio Bermudez. The bulletin also features a 1967 report from Miller County, Missouri, involving a disc-shaped object and small 'humanoid' entities, and discusses the potential for enhancing blurred UFO photographs using techniques from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Furthermore, the publication addresses the 'Condon Report' and the potential termination of the Air Force's Project Blue Book, expressing concern over the future of government-funded UFO research. The bulletin concludes with updates on membership, the Scientific UFO Research Award, and the upcoming AAAS symposium on UFOs in Boston.
