LUFORO BULLETIN No. 10

This document is the November 20, 1960, issue (No. 10) of the LUFORO Bulletin, published by the London Unidentified Flying Object Research Organisation. The bulletin serves as a compilation of UFO-related news, sighting reports, and editorial commentary. A significant portion of the bulletin is dedicated to correspondence with the Adler Planetarium regarding a sighting on August 26, 1960, where staff observed a faint reddish object moving from east to west. The Planetarium noted that while many reports are received, they are often attributed to the increased public interest in artificial satellites. The bulletin also features a detailed report from an investigator, K.A. Lawrence, regarding a sighting by Mr. Maurice Fryer in Harlow, Essex, on September 25, 1960. Mr. Fryer described seeing multiple groups of objects at high altitudes, which he estimated to be between 20,000 and 50,000 feet, and which he explicitly stated were not fragments of a burst balloon. The document further explores the 'Straith Letter' controversy, a debated piece of correspondence purportedly from the U.S. State Department regarding the existence of flying saucers, and discusses alleged government censorship and the 'Silence Group.' Additionally, the bulletin includes an index of 1960 UFO sighting reports and mentions the First British Isles Flying Saucer Convention held in London in September 1960. The bulletin concludes with a reprint of a statement by Major Donald E. Keyhoe of NICAP, arguing that the U.S. government has concealed information about UFOs to prevent public panic and economic collapse.
