BUFORA NEWSFILE March 1995 No 27

This document is the March 1995 issue (No. 27) of the BUFORA Newsfile, a publication by the British UFO Research Association. It serves as a compilation of various reports, news clippings, and articles concerning UFO and UAP sightings, alien abduction claims, and related paranormal investigations in the United Kingdom and internationally. The newsletter covers a wide range of incidents, including a photograph of a 'face' captured by an amateur photographer in Kent, reports of a British Airways jet being buzzed by a triangular UFO, and a mystery involving a police helicopter in Clacton. It also discusses the Russian Academy of Science's study of UFOs and the Petroza-vodsk sighting. A significant portion of the newsletter is dedicated to the phenomenon of alien abductions, featuring interviews with individuals who claim to have been taken by 'grey beings' and subjected to medical experiments. The publication includes commentary from experts such as psychologist Susan Blackmore, who suggests that these experiences may be linked to sleep paralysis or abnormal activity in the temporal lobes of the brain. The document also highlights the activities of various UFO research groups, such as the Yorkshire UFO and Paranormal Research Group, and mentions the skepticism of some, including those who attribute sightings to military aircraft, weather balloons, or even party searchlights. The newsletter reflects the ongoing tension between public interest in UFO phenomena and the official stance of the Ministry of Defence, which maintains that such sightings do not pose a threat to the country. It also touches upon the commercialization of the subject, noting the existence of UFO magazines, conferences, and merchandise. The document provides a snapshot of the UFO discourse in the mid-1990s, capturing a mix of witness testimonies, investigative efforts, and skeptical analysis.
