BUFORA Bulletin No. 004, May 1982

This document is the May 1982 issue of the BUFORA Bulletin (No. 004), published by the British UFO Research Association. The bulletin serves as a record of the organization's activities, including a report on the National Conference held in Edinburgh in March 1982, where speakers discussed topics such as hypnotic regression, investigation networks, and the Livingston CE case. The bulletin also features a significant section on the Rendlesham Forest incident, with reports by Dot Street detailing investigations into a landing event near Woodbridge, Suffolk, in early 1981. The text includes a debate regarding the interpretation of UFO sightings from December 31, 1978, with contributors T.R. Dutton and Bernard Delair discussing whether these events were related to the re-entry of the COSMOS 1068 rocket or represented intelligently controlled UFO activity. Furthermore, the bulletin addresses government transparency, citing a statement by Viscount Long in the House of Lords confirming that the Ministry of Defence has preserved UFO reports since 1967. The issue also contains historical perspectives, such as Nigel Watson's analysis of pre-1947 airship scares, and provides administrative information regarding BUFORA's council, membership, and upcoming seminars. The publication reflects the organization's commitment to unbiased scientific research and the dissemination of data regarding unidentified aerial phenomena.
