BUFORA Bulletin No. 24

BUFORA Bulletin No. 24, published in April 2001, serves as a journal for the British UFO Research Association. The issue contains a mix of organizational updates, obituaries, book reviews, and investigative reports. The editorial highlights the passing of long-time BUFORA members Tim O'Brien, Roger Chinery, and Desmond Leslie, noting their significant contributions to the field of ufology. A major focus of this issue is the Rendlesham Forest incident, with a review of Georgina Bruni's book, 'You Can't Tell the People,' which explores the event as a 'British Roswell.' The bulletin also addresses the state of UFO research in the UK, countering claims in the national press that UFO reports have ceased. It discusses the disbanding of the British Flying Saucer Bureau (BFSB) and argues that while direct reports to national organizations may have declined since the 1970s, local groups continue to receive steady reports. The issue includes an 'Investigation Diary' by Gloria Heather Dixon, detailing a case study of extraordinary events experienced by a family at Windwhistle Hill in Somerset in 1977, involving an orange light and missing time. Additionally, there are reports of anomalous activity in Cumbria, including vehicle interference and sightings of strange figures. The bulletin also features articles on the intersection of ley lines, dowsing, and electromagnetic effects, as well as the potential impact of the foot-and-mouth disease crisis on crop circle research. The document concludes with administrative notices regarding the reconvened Annual General Meeting (AGM) and upcoming joint events with the Travel & Earth Mysteries Society (TEMS).
