UFO Times Number 2, July 1989

This document is the July 1989 issue (Number 2) of 'UFO Times', a publication of the British UFO Research Association (BUFORA). The issue serves as a compilation of news, research reports, and editorial commentary regarding UFO and UAP phenomena in the United Kingdom and Europe. A central feature is Dave Clarke's 'Project Pennine', a study of anomalous light phenomena in the moorlands of Northern England, which emphasizes the historical and folklore-related aspects of these sightings, often distinguishing them from 'structured craft'. Ken Phillips provides a preliminary report on a March 1988 sighting over the M1 motorway, which involved police reports and video footage from a traffic-monitoring camera. The issue also covers the 'Discovery' shuttle encounter, with Jenny Randles analyzing the media coverage and the lack of substantial evidence for the reported alien encounter. The magazine includes an obituary for Walter Raymond Drake, a notable figure in early ufology, and reviews of books such as Isaac Asimov's 'The Relativity of Wrong' and Dr. Terence Meaden's 'The Circles Effect and Its Mysteries'. Additionally, the publication details the organizational structure of BUFORA, including the National Investigation Committee (NIC), and provides a lecture programme for 1989/90. The editorial stance encourages collective, unbiased scientific research and highlights the need for European cooperation in ufology. The document also features a 'Skywatcher' section providing astronomical data for July and August 1989, and a 'Space News' section detailing European Space Agency (ESA) achievements.
