BUFORA Bulletin No. 26

This document is the July 1987 issue (Number 26) of the BUFORA Bulletin, the official publication of the British UFO Research Association. The bulletin serves as a central hub for UFO research, news, and investigative reports. The editorial focuses on the challenges of international cooperation among UFO research organizations, specifically discussing the revitalization of the International Committee for UFO Research (ICUR) and BUFORA's role in hosting its central management. The bulletin features an interview with Whitley Strieber regarding his book 'Communion' and his experiences, which he describes as a complex human experience rather than simple 'nuts and bolts' extraterrestrial encounters. Werner Walter provides an overview of the CENAP organization in West Germany, emphasizing their critical, skeptical approach to UFO reports and their conclusion that most sightings have natural explanations, such as party balloons. Albert Budden continues his report on the 'Terror in the House of Dolls' case, detailing recurring sensations and phenomena experienced by a family, which he compares to poltergeist activity. Malcolm Robinson presents the first part of his report on the Scottish UFO phenomenon, discussing the Livingston incident and other cases in Scotland. Paul Fuller contributes a 'UFO Casebook' section, detailing various sightings in the south of England, including reports of OOBEs and light phenomena. Robert Moore begins a series on the 'Possible Characteristics of True UFO Reports,' analyzing data from approximately 300 reports to identify common patterns in shape, color, and behavior. The bulletin also includes administrative news, such as the upcoming members' directory, the establishment of a postal library, and a correspondence course for investigators. The issue concludes with a 'Stop Press' section reporting on a surge of UFO sightings in Britain during August 1987 and an errata note regarding biographical information for Jenny Randles.
