London Unidentified Flying Object Research Organisation Bulletin Vol. IV, No. 2

This document is the April 1963 bulletin (Vol. IV, No. 2) of the London Unidentified Flying Object Research Organisation (LUFORO). The bulletin outlines the organization's aims, which include the unbiased scientific investigation of UFO reports, the collection of verifiable first-hand evidence, and the promotion of cooperation among researchers. The document provides a list of 32 UFO sightings reported between January and April 1963, spanning locations in the United Kingdom, the United States, Italy, Australia, Denmark, South Africa, and Northern Ireland. These reports describe various phenomena, including discs of light, cigar-shaped objects, and pulsating lights. The bulletin also features an editorial proposing the creation of a 'UFO identikit' to standardize descriptions and a discussion on whether the term 'UFO' remains adequate, suggesting 'ETM' (extra-terrestrial machine) as a potential alternative for cases with sufficient evidence. A correspondence section includes a letter from W. Jolliffe, who argues that the lack of physical evidence for UFOs suggests they may not be physical objects. The bulletin also lists past and future events, including lectures and research meetings, and clarifies membership options for LUFORO and the British Unidentified Flying Object Association (BUF.O.A.).
