L.U.F.O.R.O. Bulletin No. 7

This document is the seventh bulletin issued by the London Unidentified Flying Object Research Organisation (L.U.F.O.R.O.), dated August 15, 1960. The primary focus is the 'Evenlode Incident,' a report of circular burn marks discovered in a field at Poplars Farm, Evenlode, Gloucestershire, on June 3, 1960. The farmer, Mr. Bill Edwards, discovered two concentric circular markings in the grass, with diameters of 23 feet and 15 feet. Investigations were conducted by several L.U.F.O.R.O. members, including Edward Collins, J.D. Llewellyn, and W.S. Farrall. Despite soil and grass samples being sent for laboratory analysis, the results were largely negative, showing no evidence of foreign matter or unusual overheating. The investigator concluded that the markings were not a natural formation and suggested they were caused by an object alighting from the sky, noting the lack of skid marks and the presence of downward pressure. The bulletin also includes reports of other sightings, including a UFO observed by Mr. and Mrs. Kemp in Leigh-on-Sea on June 7, 1960, described as having a bright center and luminous green edges. Additionally, it details a 'mystery fireball' reported in Cardiff, described by witnesses as a brilliant ball of fire with bits falling off, which was investigated by the Royal Air Force at St. Athan, who reported no missing aircraft. The bulletin concludes with administrative notes regarding subscriptions for the publication 'Flying Saucers' by Ray Palmer and a teaser for an upcoming article on 'radar angels' based on findings from the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company.
