This document is the September-October 1962 issue of the LUFORO Bulletin, published by the London Unidentified Flying Object Research Organisation. The bulletin serves as a central hub for UFO research, providing organizational announcements, sighting reports, and analytical articles. A significant portion of the bulletin is dedicated to the formation of the British U.F.O. Association, which was inaugurated on September 22, 1962, to coordinate research efforts across various regional societies. The bulletin includes several sighting reports, such as Mrs. Myra Jones's encounter with a luminous object in Moira, Richard A. Bury's observation of a peculiar object in Lancashire, and Mrs. E. Jordan's sighting of red discs over Nelson. Additionally, it features a detailed analysis of the 'Alex Birch photograph,' which the organization considers unique. The bulletin also covers international news, including James W. Moseley's visit to the Aerospace Technical Intelligence Centre at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and a report on a contact claim in the U.S.A. involving Robert Todd. John Cleary-Baker contributes an article on evaluating UFO reports, stressing the importance of skepticism and the application of scientific methods to avoid the pitfalls of the 'Saucer Cult.' The bulletin concludes with a Chairman's Annual Report, outlining the organization's goals for national coordination and the future of UFO research.
The remaining 7 or 8% are UFOs in the strict sense of the term. Their appearance and motions are typical of FLYING MACHINES OF AN UNKNOWN TYPE, GUIDED OR PILOTED BY INTELLIGENT OPERATORS.
