New BUFORA Journal, April 2003, Issue No. 8

This issue of the New BUFORA Journal (April 2003, Issue No. 8) serves as a compilation of UFO-related reports, abduction accounts, and Fortean research. The editorial by Norman Oliver discusses the phenomenon of sleep paralysis in the context of abduction claims, referencing Harvard professor Richard McNally. The journal features a detailed report on 'Flying Cylinders,' including historical accounts from the 1950s and a 1943 wartime sighting by a Halifax bomber crew. A significant portion of the journal is dedicated to the 'Alicante Abduction,' an account by Alan Hilton regarding his experiences in Spain, which he links to hybridisation and memory erasure. The journal also includes a 'From Here and There' section, detailing recent sightings in Fakenham, Norfolk, and Chile, as well as humanoid reports in Argentina and Brazil. A major feature is the second part of an article on the Philadelphia Experiment and the Montauk Project, written by Norman Oliver, which explores theories of time travel, mind control, and the alleged involvement of alien races in human technological development. The journal also includes book reviews, such as John E. Chitty's 'The Time of our Visitation' and Colin Bennett's 'Politics of the Imagination,' and provides information on upcoming BUFORA London lectures for 2003. The publication concludes with administrative information about BUFORA, including its history, aims, and membership details.
