BUFORA Bulletin Number 30

This document is the November 1988 issue (Number 30) of the B.U.F.O.R.A. Bulletin, published by the British UFO Research Association. The bulletin serves as a forum for UFO research, news, and critical analysis. A significant portion of this issue is dedicated to the 'MJ-12' (Majestic 12) controversy, with an update provided by Bob Digby. This section details a presentation given by Jamie Shaudera at a MUFON conference in Lincoln, Nebraska, in June 1988, regarding leaked documents allegedly detailing a 1947 recovery of an alien spacecraft near Roswell, New Mexico. The bulletin also includes a detailed round-up of Yorkshire UFO sightings by Dave Clarke, covering reports from February and March 1988. Clarke notes that many of these sightings, particularly those involving a 'V' shaped formation of lights, may be attributed to low-flying military aircraft, and he discusses his efforts to engage with local Members of Parliament and the Ministry of Defence to investigate these incidents. Another major feature is a case briefing on the 'Mundrabilla' incident in Australia, written by Keith Basterfield and Ray Brooke, which describes a 1984 encounter involving the Knowles family. The bulletin also contains editorial commentary by Mike Wootten, who addresses the state of ufology, the role of the media, and the debate between the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis (ETH) and other explanations. Jenny Randles contributes a viewpoint piece titled 'Ufology: Divided by Two Nations?', discussing the differences between American and British approaches to UFO research. Additionally, the issue features book reviews, including critiques of Martin Gardner's 'The New Age: Notes of a Fringe Watcher' and John A. Keel's 'Disneyland of the Gods', as well as announcements regarding BUFORA member services, such as their postal library and correspondence course.
