BUFORA News File Number 2

This document is the second issue of the BUFORA (British Unidentified Flying Object Research Association) publication, dated September 1990. It serves as a compilation of news clippings and reports regarding UFO sightings, abduction claims, and related phenomena from various newspapers across the United Kingdom and internationally. The newsletter covers a wide range of incidents, including reports of 'spaceships' in Swindon, a 'tank-shaped' UFO in Essex, and sightings of mysterious lights in the sky over various locations. It also features discussions on the 'abduction' phenomenon, referencing the work of researchers like Budd Hopkins and authors such as Whitley Strieber. Several articles address the 'corn circle' phenomenon, presenting both pro-alien theories and skeptical explanations, such as weather conditions or hoaxes carried out by the Army. The publication includes detailed accounts of specific cases, such as the experience of police officer Philip Spencer on Ilkley Moor, who claimed to have encountered a green creature and experienced missing time. The newsletter also touches upon international reports, including sightings in the Soviet Union and Italy, and provides commentary on the cultural and psychological aspects of UFO belief. Throughout the document, the tone is one of reporting on public interest and media coverage of these events, with BUFORA acting as a central repository for these accounts.
