UFO Times Number 37 Sep/Oct 95

This issue of UFO Times (Number 37, Sep/Oct 1995) serves as a central record of the British UFO Research Association's (BUFORA) involvement with the controversial 'Roswell footage' provided by Ray Santilli. The editorial by Mike Wootten defends BUFORA against criticism regarding its handling of the footage, acknowledging that the organization was used as a marketing tool but maintaining that their intentions were to facilitate scientific analysis. The magazine features critical commentary from Andy Roberts and Dave Clarke, who argue that the footage is a hoax and that BUFORA failed in its investigative duties by allowing itself to be manipulated by commercial interests. The issue also covers the launch of 'BUFORA On-Line' in partnership with Eclipse Internet Solutions, marking the organization's entry into 'cyber-ufology'. Several investigation reports are included, detailing sightings in the UK and abroad, including triangular objects in Glastonbury and a luminous object near Bariloche airport in Argentina. A section on the US General Accounting Office (GAO) report regarding the 1947 Roswell incident is provided, noting that while the GAO found no evidence of a crashed disc, it revealed that military records were destroyed without proper procedure. The magazine also includes obituaries, such as that of William Francis Brinsley Le Poer Trench, and reports on the 8th BUFORA International UFO Congress held in Sheffield, which featured speakers from around the world and the first public screening of the Santilli autopsy film. The publication maintains an open forum for diverse opinions on these events, despite the internal and external tensions surrounding the authenticity of the Roswell materials.
