BUFORA BULLETIN No. 23, November 1986

This document is the November 1986 issue (No. 23) of the BUFORA Bulletin, the official publication of the British UFO Research Association. The bulletin serves as a comprehensive record of the association's activities, research, and administrative updates. It includes detailed reports on UFO sightings, such as the 'Clapton Event' of June 9, 1982, which is analyzed by Robert Moore as a potential astronomical mirage involving the star Antares. Another article by Steuart Campbell, 'Not Coming Through The Glen,' critiques previous investigations into a 1980 sighting in Scotland, suggesting it was also an astronomical phenomenon. The bulletin also features a historical overview of the Polish ufological movement by Bronislaw Rzpecki, detailing the establishment of various Polish research groups and congresses between 1978 and 1985. Administrative content includes the minutes of the Tenth Annual General Meeting held in December 1985, the Council of Management's report for the year ending August 31, 1986, and the Treasurer's statement. These sections highlight the association's financial health, the computerization of case files, and the challenges of managing publications. A tribute to the late Dr. Allan J. Hynek is included, reflecting on his contributions to ufology and his interactions with British researchers. The bulletin also contains letters to the editor, where members debate the merits of various investigative methodologies, particularly the tension between those favoring psychological or plasma-based explanations and those who maintain a more traditional approach to UFO phenomena. The document concludes with training announcements and notices regarding the resignation of the bulletin's editor, John Barrett.
