LUFORO BULLETIN Vol. II Number 6

This issue of the LUFORO Bulletin, dated June 1961, serves as a compilation of reports, correspondence, and editorial commentary regarding Unidentified Flying Objects. The publication, issued by the London Unidentified Flying Object Research Organisation, details a series of sightings occurring in the British Isles, particularly on May 12, 1961, where multiple witnesses reported white, flashing objects in the sky. The bulletin includes accounts from various locations, including Hull, Nottingham, and Boreham Wood, noting the simultaneity of these events. The editor, Lawrence G. Moore, provides context on these sightings, contrasting them with official Air Ministry statements that often dismissed such reports as hoaxes or high-altitude balloons. A significant portion of the bulletin is dedicated to the discussion of 'hostile' UFO encounters. This includes a detailed analysis of the 1948 death of Captain Mantell, the 1959 crash of a Braniff Airways Lockheed Electra, and various incidents involving military personnel and aircraft. The bulletin explores the theory that some UFOs may be extraterrestrial in origin and potentially aggressive, while also presenting letters from readers who debate the methodology of UFO research, the role of 'contactees,' and the credibility of existing government reports. The document also features international reports from countries including Denmark, Switzerland, and Fiji, illustrating a global scope of interest. The bulletin concludes with administrative updates, including the formation of a new 'Contact Investigation Section' and a note on the organization's efforts to maintain unbiased scientific standards in the collection of evidence.
