UFO Times Number 34 Mar/Apr 95

This issue of UFO Times, published by the British UFO Research Association (BUFORA) in March/April 1995, serves as a compilation of news, editorial commentary, and investigative reports regarding Ufology. The editorial by Mike Wootten focuses on the controversial Linda Napolitano abduction case, which allegedly occurred in Lower Manhattan on November 30, 1989. Wootten highlights the significance of this case due to the claim that independent witnesses, including the then-Secretary General of the United Nations, Javier Perez de Cuellar, observed the event. The magazine also features an article by George P. Hansen, which examines the political implications of the Napolitano case and the reluctance of prominent ufologists to report alleged criminal activities associated with the abduction to law enforcement. Another major section is dedicated to the Roswell incident, discussing the 1994 General Accounting Office (GAO) audit and the subsequent US Air Force report that identified the recovered debris as part of Project Mogul, a top-secret balloon project. The magazine includes a critical analysis of Billy Meier by Jon Erik Beckjord, who presents evidence suggesting that Meier's photographs and films were faked using models and doctored prints. Furthermore, the document provides information on the Research Institute on Anomalous Phenomena (RIAP) in Kharkov, Ukraine, detailing its aims to study UFOs and SETI through scientific methods. The magazine also includes announcements for the 8th International UFO Congress, updates on BUFORA's lecture programmes, and various letters from readers debating the validity of UFO evidence and the methodologies used by researchers. The publication reflects the internal debates within the Ufology community regarding the balance between scientific rigor, the handling of sensitive case files, and the challenges of maintaining credibility in the face of skepticism and alleged disinformation.
