UFO Times Number 12

UFO Times Number 12 (March 1991) is a publication of the British UFO Research Association (BUFORA). The issue provides a broad overview of ufological activities, research, and news from the UK and abroad. A significant portion of the content is dedicated to the history of ufology in Yugoslavia, written by Milos Krmelj, who details the development of the field from the 1950s through the late 1980s, noting the influence of Western literature and the formation of local associations like ZVEZA SOLT. The magazine also features an editorial by the editor, Mike Wootten, discussing the 'witness paradox' and the challenges of interpreting secondhand reports. News sections cover the replacement of the R1 UFO report questionnaire, the death of author John G. Fuller, and a report on the increase in newsclippings related to crop circles. The issue includes a detailed 'Investigations Diary' edited by Jenny Randles, which lists various UFO case files from 1970 to 1989, providing brief summaries of investigations into sightings across the UK. Additionally, Dr. Alex Keul presents an evaluation of the GEP-CENAP perception experiment, which tested witness accuracy using slide projections of hot-air balloons. The magazine also promotes the upcoming 6th International UFO Congress in Sheffield, titled 'UFOs: THE GLOBAL VIEW', and includes a 'Skywatcher' section providing astronomical data for March and April 1991. The publication maintains a focus on scientific research, while also addressing the controversies surrounding theories like the 'Meaden Vortex' and the intersection of ufology with other paranormal interests.
