"WYUFORG News" (UK, 1980s) now online

"WYUFORG News" was published by Paul Bennett and Martin Dagless in the 1980s in the UK, as the newsletter of West Yorkshire UFO Research Group (WYUFORG).

Steve Coop has now helped obtain permission from both Paul Bennett and Martin Dagless for me to upload that newsletter.

Some scans have been done by the AFU in Sweden and I'm working on filling in the gaps.

From Issue 7 onwards, the title of this newsletter changed to "UFO Brigantia" which ran for many years afterwards - mainly under the editorship of Andy Roberts. "UFO Brigantia" was one of the better researched (and more entertaining...) UFO journals, published in the UK in the 1980s-1990s. It contained a mix of case reports, articles and book/documentary reviews. It also contained a fair amount of criticism of UFO research/researchers and often had the sort of humour seen in Saucer Smear - e.g. having a bit of fun at the expense of some ufologists that took themselves a bit too seriously. (I uploaded most issues of "UFO Brigantia"in 2014, with permission from Andy Roberts and most scans helpfully provided by Gary Anthony and by the AFU. I'll turn back to "UFO Brigantia" soon to fill in the gaps. I have access to a lot more UFO material now...).
