>About BUFORA
BUFORA was founded in 1962, as a federation of regional UFO groups throughout
the UK. Many of these groups were formed in the 1950s. These included the
British Flying Saucer Bureau, founded in 1952, which is believed to be the
UK's
oldest UFO group. In 1962 the group was known as the British UFO Association,
changing its name in 1964 to the present British UFO Research Association.
BUFORA became a company limited by guarantee in 1975. This means that in the
event of BUFORA being wound up each member's undertaking to cover any
outstanding debts is limited to 1 pound. BUFORA is registered under the UK
Data
Protection Act, and amongst other things membership records are held on a
computer database. (It is the policy
of BUFORA not to release membership records to third parties.)
BUFORA is run entirely by volunteers, relying solely on its members to fund
and
carry out its investigation, research and educational activities. The
day-to-day running of BUFORA is in the hands of a Council of Management drawn
from the members.
Membership of BUFORA is open to all who support the aims of the association,
and whose application is approved by the Council of Management.
>Aims of BUFORA
The three aims of BUFORA are:
1. To encourage, promote and conduct unbiased scientific research of
unidentified flying object (UFO) phenomena throughout the United Kingdom.
2. To collect and disseminate evidence and data relating to unidentified
flying
objects.
3. To co-ordinate UFO research throughout the United Kingdom and to cooperate
with others engaged in such research throughout the world.
>Activities of BUFORA
In pursuit of its aims, BUFORA supports active Investigation and Research
teams. The Investigation team carries out on-site field investigation of
cases,
whilst the Research team gets involved in activities such as statistical
research and technical support activities. Major research projects are
underway
to computerise BUFORA's case records and in the field of witness-lead
investigation. These activities are backed up by a press cutting service and
extensive libraries of case reports and published literature on UFO phenomena.
The heads of both the Investigation (Gloria Dixon) and the Research (Steve
Gamble) teams are members of the Council of Management of BUFORA. Both are
assisted in organising the activities of their sections by advisory committees
made up of members with a special interest in these activities.
BUFORA organises in London a programme of monthly lectures (September to June)
on a variety of UFO- related topics. Additionally, regional meetings are held,
and every other year BUFORA co-sponsors the International UFO Congress.
Members receive, free of charge, six issues per year of its regular
publication
UFO Times, which carries details of investigated reports and results of
research projects. Members may also elect to receive six issues per year of
the
UFO Newsfile for a small charge. UFO Newsfile is a collection of the best
newspaper clippings received from BUFORA's newsclipping service. UFO Times is
edited by Mike Wootten and Andy Roberts, UFO Newsfile is edited by Mike
Hudson.
BUFORA operates with British Telecom the UFOCALL hot line, which carries
information about reports and updates on events (phone: 0898 12 1886; note
charge currently 50p per minute at all times). These pre-recorded four minute
messages are updated every two weeks.
In recent years BUFORA has established its international reputation by its
investigation and research work, and a number of major publications. BUFORA is
a founder, and the UK representative organisation of the International
Committee for UFO Research (ICUR). BUFORA currently provides the Chairman (Bob
Digby), the Secretary (Steve Gamble) and Treasurer (John Spencer) on the ICUR
executive.
BUFORA is the publisher of the UFO Lexicon, which is an international glossary
of UFO-related terms in ten languages. BUFORA is involved in a number of
collaborative projects with other UFO groups both throughout the UK and the
rest of the world. BUFORA is actively seeking to promote local branches of its
members throughout the UK and the rest of the world.
>BUFORA Publications
The BUFORA Journal was published from 1965 until 1982 when it was replaced by
the BUFORA Bulletin. From 1979 to 1989 BUFORA also published the Journal of
Transient Aerial Phenomena. In 1989 the Bulletin and JTAP were combined and
relaunched as UFO Times.
In addition to UFO Times, BUFORA has published a number of booklets and papers
on specific aspects of research and investigation (for example our Vehicle
Interference Report and Investigator Handbook), or as in-depth case studies of
specific reports (eg The Livingston Encounter). BUFORA publishes UFO World, a
series which is a review of UFO investigation and research throughout the
world. Recent publications include UFOs 1947-1987 (published by Fortean Times
[1987]), Phenomenon (published in the UK by Macdonald & Futura [1988] and by
Avon in the United States), Fire in the Sky (BUFORA [1989]) and Controversy of
the Circles (BUFORA [1989]).
Details of publications currently available (including back issues of
Journals)
can be obtained from the registered office (enclose sae please). Some BUFORA
publications are also available through Spacelink Books, 115 Hollybush Lane,

The Maury Island case was eventually shown to be a hoax. The 'molten metal'
was plutonium slag from the Atomic Energy Commission's (AEC's) nearby plant.
The 'man in black' was an AEC security agent.

The colour black, and the Devil (always depicted as being black) have long
been associated with evil. The ancient Greeks knew of daimons, who were
intermediaries between men and the gods. Paul in I Corinthians (10:20)
stigmatised the daimons as being evil, daimon being later translated as demon.

#2. Apocalypse Pretty Soon: Travels in End-Time America by Alex Heard
([EMAIL PROTECTED])
WW Norton & Company 254 pages. $23.95
Review By Jessica Branch (CitySearch Book Reviews)
http://articles.citysearch.com/New_York/books/990123/
Sure, you can jury-rig your laptop, hoard the Campbell's, and hide your money
under your mattress, but don't kid yourself. When the big day comes,
nothing's
going to stop those four guys on horseback. Whether you're anticipating the
millennium with the smugness of the saved, the trepidation of the true
believer, or the indifference of the irreligious, it's getting closer every
day, and there's nothing you can do about it.
At least, that's what most of us think. But Alex Heard, late of the New York
Times Magazine and now a senior editor at Wired, has spent the last ten years
investigating the millennial and utopian cults that beg to differ. Each, in
its own way, has been preparing for the final moment since way before anyone
had heard of Y2K. In "Apocalypse Pretty Soon," Heard chronicles his travels
among these fringe-dwellers, from the high-tech traditionalists-who are
trying
to
implement Biblical prophecy with modern animal husbandry by shipping Red
Angus
cattle to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem-to the forward-looking libertarians
of
the New Island Creation Consortium-who plan to build a new Atlantis a la Ayn
Rand-to the Earth Changes, guilt-ridden ex-Yuppies convinced that a vengeful
Earth is out to destroy the demon species-us.
The devoted eccentrics the author encounters are too diverse to summarize,
but
Heard's efforts to cover this sprawling territory are held together by the
inquiring, ruminative, humane intelligence he brings to his explorations of
these aliens among us. Nor is he shy about admitting to the reader the
difficulties of investigating these often very secretive cults as an
outsider-for example, when Heard photocopies Unarian files, he's confronted
by
an irate Unarian
higher-up, Louis Spiegel (a.k.a. Antares), who interprets Heard's behavior as
a reenactment of his past sins. This isn't the skeptic's distanced,
formulaic
debunking of faith-a style which, for all its virtue and not entirely
misplaced sense of righteousness, leaves the faithful looking like the unwary
victims of a predatory, heartless journalist. Rather, this is an inspired,
engaging travelogue, with more than a little resemblance to "Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland," in which Heard (like Alice) never loses his
critical faculties, but combines them with a wry humor, an insistent
curiosity, and a sense of pure, uncondescending wonder at the vagaries of
human belief.
As much a participatory cultural anthropologist as a journalist, Heard
evaluates the men and women he meets both personally and professionally,
attempting to understand their motives and their madness, their individuality
and their place on the spectrum of millennialism. Sometimes that involves
contemplating their potentially dangerous interactions with the mainstream,
as
when Heard anxiously speculates on the explosive potential of Ron Cole, the
founder and only member of the Colorado 1st Light Infantry, whose mourning
for
David Koresh led him to try to instigate a national insurrection. But more
often, Heard is interested in getting inside the worlds of end-time culture.
Whether dire or goofy, these cults have an energy and a purpose that
fascinate
Heard, and his open and unfeigned interest in their members, not just as
milennialists, but as people immersed in their own way of life gives the book
its own energy and honesty.
And, perhaps most refreshing of all, though he maintains a light, casual tone
and a firm grip on his sense of proportion, Heard doesn't make fun of these
all-too-easy targets: He goes beyond the cheap laughs to search out what
needs
their beliefs answer. However insane their dogmas may seem, Heard takes all
his subjects seriously, like the relatively benign Arthur Blessit, the
born-again Christian who says that the Lord commanded him to carry a cross
through every nation of the world. Heard realizes the strange, arbitrary
nature of Blessit's divinely-imposed task, but also the very real danger he
undergoes to accomplish it, writing that "The stories sound insane, but I
don't think Blessitt was crazy at all. I think he was...burning brightly from
within. I finally had the chance to meet him in late 1997, when he and his
wife, Denise, passed through
New York on their way back from a major lugging: into Afghanistan. With that
one in the bag, he had six left, all of them tough-to-crack places like North
Korea, the Sudan, Iraq-all very difficult, all very risky. The grim reality
was that Blessit really could get killed doing this." And this attitude
characterizes Heard throughout the book; though he's more than willing to
share his opinion of
the value of his subjects' ideas, he respects their belief, their conviction,
and their integrity, and we come to appreciate his generosity as much as his
journalism. He even learns from them. The cults he studies aren't, after all,
so appreciably different from, oh, say, normal people, like writers. The
millennium elicits many reactions: one is reporting on it. -Jessica Branch

#3. AUTHOR INTERVIEW. Having Words With... Alex Heard
Alex Heard, late of the New York Times Magazine, has moved to San Francisco,
ostensibly to become an editor at Wired, but you have to wonder: Does he know
something we don't? Quite probably. Heard has spent the last ten years
investigating millennial and utopian culture in America, and now, in
"Apocalypse Pretty Soon: Travels in End-Time America," he's letting us in
on some of the ideas percolating in the zanier zones of the zeitgeist.
Jessica
Branch talks to the end-of-the-world reporter about severed heads, genius
sperm, and why Y2K could be the beginning of the end.
CitySearch:(CS) In your introduction, you write that "weird people" got you
interested in journalism. But there are so many weird people-why do you focus
on "millennial and utopian oddballs"?
Alex Heard:(AH) Early in my career, I wrote a column for the Washington Post
Magazine for a couple of years. That's how I started finding out about
subcultures: For example, if you go to a convention like a futurist
convention, it's a little dry, and then you start seeing people you didn't
know existed, like this guy who ran a sperm bank in which all of the donors
were supposedly geniuses. This creepy-looking guy, like an undertaker, but he
was a really nice old guy, in a strange little booth selling genius sperm. So
you start running into this stuff, all these things out there that you don't
hear about, but that are fully functioning enterprises-not just crackpot
ideas-that someone's really doing.
I covered a New Age convention for somebody-that's where I first heard about
the Earth Changes. The Earth Changes think the planet's trying to kill us
off,
but what I'm interested in is how do they make that part of their day-to-day
existence, how do they make a living? How do such strange pursuits get turned
into the mundane activities of daily existence?
(CS): It's kind of disturbing to realize that we may all have weird beliefs
so
worked into our lives that we don't even realize it.
(AH): It's not disturbing so much as reassuring, actually. The big thing that
I
learned? Well, I read somewhere that 23 million people believe Christ will
return in their lifetimes. They believe that the end-time prophecies in the
Bible will happen, foreseeably soon. How can that be, that many people in
this
country, and what does it mean? That's what I learned working on this book;
it
doesn't mean anything bad, it's just a religious belief-although it can be
bad. You know the Concerned Christians arrested in Israel? There is cult
activity like that in millennial groups, the same information is used by
millions of people. It's a shadow world.
Take Clyde Lott: He's a good example of what it's like. He'd never hurt
anybody; he'd never intend to. Of course, what he's doing, raising funds and
cattle to fulfill biblical prophecy, is more active than most believers.
Mainly, if you believe, it's kind of passive, waiting for the events of the
Bible to happen. There's not much of anything you can do to trigger
things-supernatural events are just going to happen, and you work your
energies out by reading about them.
There's a huge popular fringe: novels describing what end-time events will be
like, a seven-part series by Timothy Lahaye that sells in huge numbers.
They're not counted on the bestseller lists because they're considered
religious, but they sell in the hundreds of thousands or even millions. Most
people have never even heard of these books, but if you go into a Christian
bookstore, they're flying off the shelves. They're badly written and hokey,
but people are fascinated. Now, Lott's actually doing something physical. His
activity is fairly peaceful, though.
(CS): But you do mention in the book that, even though Lott doesn't advocate
doing anything violent to reclaim the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, someone else
could hear him and think, well, there's a way to speed this all along.
(AH): That happens. Concerned Christians-if what they're accused of is
actually
true-they believed going on a rampage would trigger these events. That's
dangerous.
And the other thing is the idea that the Temple does have to go up, so the
Moslem presence needs to be eradicated-that is a dangerous thing. If you talk
to Lott and ask, "Do you feel bad about it?" he doesn't understand. I think
that he'd say he's not suggesting that anybody bomb anything, and he means it.
If it happened, I think he'd be shocked but would feel that that was the way
that God intended things to work out-he'd rationalize it.
(CS): Sort of a necessary evil. It's like the equivocal position Jews have in
end-time interpretation-on the one hand, they're God's chosen people, on the
other hand, they're in trouble for rejecting Jesus the first time.
(AH): None of this stuff is clear in the Bible. It would be really hard to
construct it all by yourself. You wonder how did somebody come up with these
ideas? It's material from all over the Bible pieced together, scenarios
condensed. Most Christians write off Revelations as allegory or as a pep talk
to the persecuted Christians, sort of like a story that illustrates how
Christianity will eventually triumph over the Roman empire. But others think
it's literally true.
There are curious things, things that we take for granted as part of the
story, that aren't in Revelations. The Rapture is not in Revelations. The
only
basis for it is a passage in Thessalonians, "When Christ returns, we will
meet
him in the air." Prophecy Christians argue about whether there will be a
Rapture; they argue about when it will occur. People think they believe that
the world will end in the year 2000-or even that they're trying to figure out
when the end will occur-but not necessarily. Actually, most tend to argue
about the chain of events: When will the Rapture occur? Will we be Raptured
before the Tribulations or after? It sounds crazy but there are these weird
labels. If you believe that you'll be Raptured before the Tribulations God
will visit upon the earth, you're a pre-Tribulation premillennialist. If you
believe that you'll be Raptured after that but before something called the
Wrath sets in, then you're a pre-Wrath but post-Trib. I mentioned one guy who
decided that he was pre-Wrath after having been pre-Trib. He was going
public,
knowing that he was going to get kicked out of a church he'd help create and
lose friends. It was a major drama for this guy. The stakes are so high on
something other people look at as being misguided. A big tizzy about
something
that isn't true.
(CS): This post-Trib, pre-Wrath stuff brings up another interesting point in
your book: You found that many of the millennialists are happy with their
belief system-they're just waiting, but not counting the days, not especially
eager. Who was eager?
(AH): Christians generally do want it to happen. Well, let me back up. One
part you have to figure in there is the risk of having a precise date.
Dorothy
Martin predicted a specific date for the apocalypse in Chicago in the 1950s,
when the flying saucers would land and pick her and her followers up. The
media was covering them, and when it didn't happen, they were humiliated. The
group broke up. It's like, somehow or another, most millennial people have
absorbed the idea that it's bad to have an exact date and if you do (and I
wouldn't describe any of this as conscious) and it comes and goes, you'll
have
to deal with the fact that it didn't happen. So they usually have a date, but
it's built in that the date can be moved back, or even cancelled.
The Unarians have all their marbles on 2001, when the saucers are supposed to
land. I asked a member what they were going to do if it doesn't happen? "Go
on
like always, and just know that it means that mankind is still in such a
debased spiritual state that they're not ready-we'll have to work that much
harder." It sounds like a con game, but there's no money involved; they just
want their belief system to survive. For the Earth Changes, 1988 was supposed
to be a big year, and it seemed that it would be in some ways-we had the
worst
weather ever, storms, extreme temperatures, but it wasn't enough. They
expected major floods, actual physical landscapes to be different, and it
wasn't happening. So already some of them are moving the goalpost back a
little. Annie Kirkwood told me that the Virgin Mary won us a reprieve, until
2010 or something. Is that a con job? I don't think so. The audience is so
small.
(CS): One of your major concerns with each group seemed to be whether it was
a
conscious con or a sincere movement. You seemed really impressed by Chet
Fleming, the guy who was so worried about people keeping severed heads alive.
(AH): Well, he was one of the people you could tell I'd been trying to get in
touch with for years. He's very intelligent, a Harvard Law School grad. He
was
hyperaware of being written about, so I was worried about being spun. But
he's
a nice guy; he just had this urge, and he had to act on it. He bit into a
live
wire as a kid and his face was burned-I really think that has a lot to do
with
it.
He's a nerdy, well-meaning guy. I don't know if there's some big hidden
thing.
I don't think I got all the way to his inner self, but he would never
completely open up, so I kind of stopped. I didn't report around him, didn't
feel I needed to have someone say he's crazy. He's an oddball, but
well-meaning. I was interested in investigating if people were crooks, or
manipulating others.
(CS): He seemed like the most altruistic one in the book-I got the impression
you liked him more than a lot of your other subjects.
(AH): He was weird, but I did like him. There were a few I didn't like.
Steven
Greer, the UFO guy, I didn't like him. The things he's saying are pretty
irresponsible, not just that the government's covering up the existence of
UFOs, but that it's murdered them, shot them out of the sky, that there's a
secret government that really runs things. It's like "The X-Files"; the 8th-
grade civics student in me is offended. Free speech is fine, but this is
wrong
and it's stupid. He is an intelligent person. He's kind of hard on the people
who work for him, but he's intelligent, not crazy or dangerous.
(CS): Was there ever a moment when you felt you were potentially in danger?
(AH): No. I thought about that, there are some cults out there that are
genuinely scary. I thought about infiltrating a Doomsday cult and writing
about the mechanics of it, but there's no point; the mechanics are
well-documented. My point is trying to explain to people that the majority of
these millennial ideas are harmless and even good for people. I'm aware that
there's other stuff out there, [which I document] in the right-wing chapter.
What people are most interested in are the dangerous things, like what pops
up
in the news-but people shouldn't think there's a million Doomsday cults. Most
of this is completely benign.
(CS): Are you going to do more in the same area, or do you have a next
project?
(AH): Yes, I have a website related to this: www.apocalypseprettysoon.com. It
just started. What it mainly is about is a fun elaboration on that map I did
in the New York Times magazine with logos on the states, representing various
groups and individuals, everything you need to know to understand these
themes. It's ongoing throughout the year. Readers are supposed to participate
and find groups of people and we'll put them on. It's geared toward people
who
are interested for fun. The groups will contact me to give me a hard time:
"Why are you saying this about us?" It's more smart-assy than I was in the
book. So every day the map will be added to. Indefinitely. At least through
2000. Although interest will max out well before 2000.
(CS): Got any advice for anyone trying to plan their New Year's Eve this year?
(AH) I'm not going to be in a city. I don't know if I believe there's much
chance of a blackout. But it's not a ridiculous fantasy either, so I'd hate
to
be in Times Square. It's not something like space brothers landing, just
ridiculous on its face. Y2K is a real thing, and nobody knows how serious it
will be. I'll be in New Mexico.
