BUFORA Journal, Vol 9, No 3, November 1980

This document is the November 1980 issue of the BUFORA Journal (Volume 9, Number 3), published by the British UFO Research Association. The journal serves as a central repository for UFO-related news, sighting reports, book reviews, and organizational announcements. A significant portion of the journal is dedicated to the 'Sighting Summaries' section, which lists numerous reports from 1978 to 1980, detailing various objects, colors, and behaviors observed across the United Kingdom. The journal also features an editorial by Norman Oliver, who discusses the 'Extra-terrestrial Hypothesis' (ETH) and argues against the trend of excluding it from ufological deliberations. The issue includes a 'Special Announcement' regarding the appointment of Lord Kings Norton as the new President of the Association, highlighting his background in aeronautical engineering and his scientific approach to the UFO enigma. Other articles cover the inauguration of the 'Fund for UFO Research' in the United States, reports on the 'Kensington Lectures' symposium on UFOs and psychic research, and a detailed account of a CEIII case in Plumstead Common, London, investigated by Margaret Fry. The journal also provides updates on international UFO research, including reports from Denmark and the Soviet Union, and reviews of books such as 'Signs of the Gods?' by Erich von Daniken and 'Alien Animals' by Janet and Colin Bord. The publication concludes with administrative information, including contact details for various branches and officers, and a call for donations to support research and the formation of a new section for members interested in ET possibilities.
