New Bufora Journal - Issue 15 - April 2005

This document is the April 2005 issue (No. 15) of the New Bufora Journal, published by the British UFO Research Association (BUFORA). The journal serves as a compilation of articles, reports, and editorial commentary regarding UFO and UAP phenomena. The editorial by the journal's editor, Stephen Gamble, discusses the distinction between 'strange objects seen at a distance' and 'alien abduction/contactee reports,' suggesting that while the former are often misidentified, the latter represent a distinct phenomenon that warrants study. The issue features an extensive retrospective on the 'Gulf Breeze' sightings in Florida, which began in 1987. This section includes a detailed list of reports, discussions regarding the authenticity of photographs taken by Ed Walters, and the controversy surrounding the involvement of MUFON and CUFOS. The journal also explores the 'Energy Connection' between UFO sightings, crop circles, and ancient sites, proposing that these phenomena may be linked by geomagnetic or energy-based factors. Other articles include a personal account by Gloria Dixon regarding anomalous events near Cotherstone, Durham, and a response by James Basil regarding an alleged alien implant that was later identified as dental amalgam. The journal also provides updates on the Rendlesham Forest incident, featuring commentary from Larry Warren, and includes notices for upcoming BUFORA lectures and the 2005 AGM. The document emphasizes the association's commitment to unbiased scientific research and provides information on its history, aims, and services, such as the 'UFOCALL' information line.
