BUFORA UFO NEWSFILE - June 1998 Issue Number 70

This document is a compilation of newspaper clippings from March, April, and May 1998, curated by the British UFO Research Association (BUFORA). It documents a significant surge in UFO and UAP sightings across the United Kingdom during the spring of 1998. Reports originate from various regions, including Yorkshire, Cornwall, Suffolk, and Scotland. Common themes include sightings of triangular craft, mysterious lights, and objects hovering over landmarks or near military installations. A notable incident involves a report of a 900-foot triangular craft tracked by RAF Fylingdales radar at speeds reaching 24,000mph, which the Ministry of Defence officially denied. Other reports detail amateur photographers capturing images of unidentified objects, and the formation of local research groups to investigate these phenomena. The document highlights the public's growing interest in the subject, fueled by media coverage and television series like 'The X-Files.' Experts and researchers, such as David Kingston and Eric Morris, are quoted discussing the patterns of these sightings, while military and aviation officials often provide standard denials or explanations, such as meteor showers or experimental aircraft. The compilation serves as a record of the widespread public concern and the varied, often conflicting, accounts of aerial phenomena during this period.
