Inc. Washington D.C. P.O. Box 277 Mount Rainier, MD 20712 QUARTERLY REPORT July December 1991 - The last half of 1991 was marked by unprecedented cooperation between the Fund for UFO Research, the Center for UFO Studies, and the principal investigators into the apparent crash of at least one UFO in New Mexico in 1947. The effort began in July, during the Mutual UFO Network Annual Symposium meeting in Chicago. Representatives of the Fund, the Center, and the Roswell case investigators met to discuss the reported 1947 crash of a UFO on the Plains of San Agustin, 150 miles west of the well-documented crash site in Corona. Although there is disagreement about the quality of the evidence for a second crash, representatives of the two organizations agreed to support the continuing investigation. On July 24, 1991, the only known living frrst-hand witness who allegedly was involved in the events, Gerald Anderson, was the subject of a polygraph examination conducted by a certified polygraph examiner in Kansas City, MO. The project was coordinated by nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman, and the costs were paid for by the Fund. The examiner concluded that there was no evidence of deception in Anderson's account. This is the first time any witness in the Roswell case has taken--and passed--a polygraph examination. During the fall, representatives of the Fund and the Center discussed the possibility of sponsoring a conference to provide for a full exchange of evidence concerning the Plains of San Agustin account. At this writing, the conference is scheduled to be held in mid-February. Attendance will be by invitation only, and a report on the proceedings will be available as soon as possible after the meeting. Also during this period, the Fund's Executive Committee received six new grant proposals for further research into UFO crash/retrieval cases, including the Roswell case, totalling more than $30,00.0 The Executive Committee approved all of them and forwarded those involving expenditures of more than $1,000 to the National Board for review. By the end of December, most of them had been approved, subject to the availability of funds. An appeal was mailed to the Fund's donor list and to CUFOS Associates requesting additional support for the ongoing investigation. A second videotape of frrst-hand witnesses to the retrieval of UFO wreckage and alien bodies was offered to contributors of $50 or more. To date, the Fund has spent more than $50,000 on the Roswell case, making it the most expensive civilian UFO case investigation ever conducted. Two projects supported by the Fund were completed during this period: Michael Chorost's analysis of crop circles in England during the summer of this year, and Ann Druffel's excellent report on an alleged "missing fetus" UFO abduction case. Both reports are now available to the Fund's contributors (because of its brevity, Mrs. Druffel's report will be sent--free of charge--to anyone purchasing another report from the enclosed list). We're pleased to report that our appeal for contributions to support the Donald E. Keyhoe Journalism Award exceeded our goal to rwse at least $2,000 to provide significant recognition for the best articles or stories printed or broadcast on the UFO subject during the 1991 calendar year. The purpose of the award is to encourage quality journalism and solid investigative reporting into the UFO phenomenon by reporters for daily and weekly newspapers, as well as magazines, television and radio news operations. Judging for the 1991 Keyhoe Award will take place early in 1992. During this period, David Schwartzman, Ph.D., resigned from the National Board. He was replaced by Thomas E. Bullard, Ph.D., an assistant professor of folklore at the University of Indiana and a recognized authority on UFO abduction cases. Also during this period, the Fund for UFO Research joined with the Center for UFO Studies and the Mutual UFO Network to help form the Joint American-Soviet Aerial Anomaly Federation, which was initiated by Richard Haines, Ph.D. (a member of the Fund's National Board). The primary purpose of the organization is to foster an exchange of information between major UFO organizations in both countries. The breakup of the Soviet Union into the Commonwealth of Independent States is not expected to affect this unprecedented effort of international cooperation in solving the UFO mystery. Late in 1991, the Fund acquired five theses prepared by students attending the U.S. Air Force Air University and Staff College during between 1968 and 1974. Two of the theses are highly interesting, because they are extremely critical of the Air Force's official position on the UFO question. The Fund is publishing the best two best papers and will make the others available upon request. Please see the enclosed Reply Form for details.

This does not take into account, however, the anticipated results of the fundraising effort to support the continued research into the Roswell UFO crash case. However, we want to point out that this is an ongoing project which will be funded as money is available. Those who wish to support continued research into the Roswell case are encouraged to note their tax-deductible contribution in the space provided on the enclosed Reply Form. Contributors of $50 or more to this effort will receive the videotape, "Recollections of Roswell--Part II," which will be available by March 1992. This follow­ up video will include interviews with more than 30 frrst-hand witnesses to the apparent crash and retrieval of at least one UFO in New Mexico in July 1947--many of whom had not been interviewed for the first Roswell video. See the enclosed Reply Form for details. (Due to increases in postage rates and printing, we ask for a donation of at least $10 if you want to receive the Quarterly Report through 1992. Please check the appropriate box to indicate the amount of your tax-deductible contribution to support scientific research into the UFO phenomenon. All contributors will receive UFODAZE by Pat Nolan, a listing of significant UFO events throughout the year.) NOW AVAILABLE( witChO LOR PHOTOS) fromt heF undf orU FO Resear.c.h.
