Forum
A new addition to the website is the PROJECT 1947 Forum.
http://www.iufog.org/project1947/forum/index.htm
Many researchers affiliated with PROJECT 1947 have interests
in contemporary UFO research and we hope to showcase these
efforts in the Forum area.
The Forum's first contributor is Australian researcher, Bill
Chalker, who has provided us with articles demonstrating his
wide-ranging interests in all aspects of UFOlogy.
In "Australian Aboriginal Culture and Possible UFO
Connections," Bill explores possible parallels between
aboriginal lore and the modern-day UFO experience.
Bill's interest in physical trace cases is highlighted in his
personal "Account of 'Angel Hair' Observation."
One view of the UFO phenomenon holds that the governments of
the world have accepted the reality of UFOs as vehicles from
other planets. Another perspective, based on once-classified
official government documents, is that while the subject of
UFOs has been taken seriously, their origin and purpose
remains a mystery.
In "The Ultimate Secret - Fact or Fiction: The Australian
Connection," Bill relates stories of Australian close
encounters with "Men in Black" and alleged crashed saucer
retrievals. The article illustrates some of the vast
reservoir of accounts and rumors that exist about
governments' involvement with the UFO phenomenon.
Material from government files appears quite tame when
compared to the tales recounted in the first article,
but the importance of official documents lies in the
fact that they report how responsible officials, military
personnel, and otherwise solid citizens have encountered
various manifestations of the UFO phenomenon.
Having been allowed unprecedented access to previously
restricted Australian government UFO files, Bill is in a
unique position to extensively detail officialdom's approach
to the "UFO problem" in "UFOs 'Sub Rosa' Down Under - The
Australian Military & Government Role in the UFO Controversy"
Bill Chalker welcomes feedback and comments on his articles.

Site Update
Aircraft / UFO Encounters Catalogue
Dominique Weinstein, a French researcher based in Paris,
continues to compile a unique database of Aircraft / UFO
Encounters (ACUFOE).
The main sources for the core of this catalogue consist of
his own research and the extensive files of the highly
respected 40 year old French UFO journal, LumiËres Dans La
Nuit
ACUFOE is an ongoing project. Dominique continues to consult
numerous publications, official records, and private files.
Researchers in France and other countries have contributed
additional cases from around the world. As this work is
constantly being updated, he welcomes additional cases,
further information on cases currently in the catalogue, and
cases found to be mistakes, hoaxes or IFOs.
The latest ACUFOE catalogue update will soon be offered to
the public. The PROJECT 1947 Web Site is proud to host a
small sample of Dominique Weinstein's catalogue.

The PROJECT 1947 Notice Board.
To aid PROJECT 1947 listmembers in their current research
efforts, a publically accessible 'Notice Board' now contains
details of requests for information.
Research is a gift economy. The more we contribute the more
we all get back. Please check the 'Notice Board' regularly
and contact the researchers listed if you can help.

The PROJECT 1947 Links Page has been updated. All
Catalogs are now accessible from the one page.

Link Update
The LunaScan Project (TLP) is an EBTI (Earth-Based Telescopic
Imaging) program using live CCD imaging technology to
observe, document, and record LTPs (Lunar Transient
Phenomena)
http://www.evansville.net/~slk/lshomepage.html
Encompassing various aspects of Lunar imagery, including
attempts to re-image areas allegedly containing "anomalous"
structures, LunaScan is highly recommended for anyone with an
interest in astronomy and selenology.
The LunaScan co-ordinator, Francis Ridge, has limited copies
of his book "Regional Encounters: The FC Files available."
Taken from the files of the UFO Filter Centre, the book
contains a "chronological report of special close encounter
events" incorporated into Fran's personal investigations.
-------------------------------
Mark Cashman has added new cases and articles to his UFO
page. Always worth a look.

emphasis on Charles Fort and other Fortean luminaries such as

researchers like Charles Fort who chose the "little trodden
paths" in their journey through the mysterious and unexplored
landscape.
