BUFORA Bulletin No. 20, August 2000

This document is the August 2000 issue (No. 20) of the BUFORA Bulletin, the official journal of the British UFO Research Association. The issue provides a comprehensive overview of various UFO-related topics, including historical analysis, investigation reports, and commentary on contemporary UFO culture. The editorial by Brian P. James highlights the importance of raw data from sightings and discusses the challenges of maintaining quality in research and publication. A significant portion of the bulletin is dedicated to an appraisal of 20th-century UFO phenomena by Brian Allen, which covers the 'ghost rockets' of 1946, the 1947 Roswell incident, and the Rendlesham Forest incident of 1980. The text provides detailed accounts of the Rendlesham incident, citing Larry Warren as a primary source, and explores the potential for military involvement, including the use of 'black projects' and microwave technology. The bulletin also features an 'Investigations Diary' by Gloria Heather Dixon, which details recent sightings and the challenges of investigating reports that may involve mental health issues or hoaxes. Specific cases discussed include the A70 abduction, the Dechmont Forest incident involving Bob Taylor, and the Craigluscar Reservoir sighting. The Bonnybridge Triangle in Scotland is examined as a hotspot for UFO activity, with theories ranging from geological anomalies to extraterrestrial visitation. The issue also includes a critical review of the Roswell 'Alien Autopsy' film, which the author, Malcolm Robinson, dismisses as a hoax. Finally, the bulletin provides information on BUFORA's organizational structure, upcoming lectures, and resources for researchers, such as the 'UFOCALL' service and various web-based research initiatives.
