New BUFORA Journal, February 2003, Issue No. 6

This document is the February 2003 edition of the New BUFORA Journal (Issue No. 6), published by the British UFO Research Association. The journal serves as a compilation of reports, editorial commentary, and articles concerning Ufology, alien abduction, and related paranormal topics. The editorial by Norman Oliver addresses the 'hypnosis debate,' noting BUFORA's official position against the use of regressive hypnosis in investigations, while acknowledging that some members find it useful. The issue features an extensive excerpt from an article by Catherine Austin Fitts regarding the 'Black Budget' and its potential connection to alien technology and disinformation campaigns. A significant portion of the journal is dedicated to the 'Bad Holiday' report, a detailed account of a 1982 sighting on the A1 in Yorkshire by a witness who experienced a sense of unreality, or 'Oz factor,' during a close encounter with a craft. The journal also includes reports on cattle mutilations in Argentina, the 'Serpentine UFO' photograph from 1971, and the 'Motunau Photograph' from 1979. Further sections cover the Raelians and their cloning claims, Stalin's alleged interest in UFOs, and a 'hypnotherapy masterclass' by Dr. Bruce Fox, which explores the clinical paradigm of alien abduction. The journal concludes with a book review of 'Without Consent' by Carl Nagaitis and Philip Mantle, and an announcement of upcoming BUFORA lectures for 2003, covering topics such as the 'Montauk and Philadelphia Experiment' and the 'Merseyside UFO Project.' The publication maintains a stance of open-minded skepticism, emphasizing the need for scientific, sensible, and logical investigation while acknowledging the complexity of the phenomena.
