BUFORA Bulletin No. 13, June 1984

This document is the June 1984 issue (No. 013) of the BUFORA Bulletin, the official publication of the British UFO Research Association. The bulletin serves as a record of the association's internal administrative activities, research reports, and discussions regarding the state of ufology in the United Kingdom. Administrative updates include the resignation of Chairman Bob Digby, who departed for Saudi Arabia, and the appointment of Arnold West as his successor. The council also discussed financial constraints, the potential for computerizing membership records, and the association's status as a limited company.

Research and investigation reports form a significant portion of the bulletin. Jenny Randles, the Director of Investigations, provided a report on the 1983 press cuttings, noting an upward trend in reported sightings. The bulletin features an in-depth re-examination of the 1977 Broadhaven (Dyfed) case by Cynthia Hind, which addresses the controversy surrounding the witnesses, the role of investigators, and the potential for hoaxes or misinterpretations. Additionally, John Barrett contributes a technical report on photographic evidence of UAP sightings in Arendal and Hessdalen, Norway, detailing the analysis of film frames and the characteristics of the objects captured.

Other sections include a summary of a lecture by John Mason on the British Fireball Survey, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between fireballs and UFOs. Jeremy Lockyer's lecture on 'UFOs and Religion' is also summarized, exploring the intersection of contactee narratives and spiritual beliefs. The bulletin also includes a tribute to Lou Zinsstag, a prominent figure in the study of George Adamski, following her death in January 1984. The publication concludes with various notices, including calls for papers, distribution agents, and announcements regarding upcoming conferences and workshops, such as the Ley Hunters Moot.
