UFO NEWSFILE NUMBER 6

This document is the October 1991 issue (Number 6) of the BUFORA Newsfile, a publication by the British UFO Research Association. The newsletter serves as a compilation of news, press clippings, and reports regarding UFO sightings, ufology research, and related phenomena. A significant portion of the content is dedicated to the 6th International UFO Congress held in Sheffield, which featured speakers and delegates from around the world. The newsletter highlights the experiences of individuals claiming alien abductions, such as Kathryn Howard, who reported an encounter in Sweden in 1969, and others like Alfred Burtoo and the McMurrays. The publication also addresses the ongoing debate surrounding crop circles, featuring perspectives from experts like Dr. Terence Meaden, who attributes them to natural vortices, and reports on the claims of hoaxers Doug Bower and Dave Chorley. Various regional sightings are documented, including reports from Somerset, Nottingham, and Swindon, often involving lights in the sky. The newsletter also provides updates on BUFORA administrative changes, including the opening of a new office in Harpenden, and lists upcoming lecture programmes. The document reflects the diverse and often skeptical landscape of ufology in 1991, balancing personal accounts of close encounters with scientific and journalistic scrutiny of the phenomena.
