"UFO Update" newsletter (Canada, 1970s) now online

"UFO Update" was published by Tom Grey of the Northeastern UFO Organization (Canada) in the 1970s.

Most the content of comprised UFO clippings from newspapers. 

All issues of "UFO Update" contain a statement that material can be used by other UFO publications, provided UFO Update is mentioned. I thought that probably amounted to giving permission for me to upload scans of this one. But one issue also states on the cover "Direct reproduction prohibited". 

In an attempt to confirm the position, I did try to track down Tom Grey recently. That effort involved Chris Rutkowski, Yan Vadnais and some others in Canada.  Drew Williamson helpfully made enquiries with Bonnie Wheeler (the former editor of another Canadian UFO newsletter, CUFORG - which I uploaded with her permission a couple of years ago). She confirmed that Tom Grey passed away about 2 years ago.  

So, in light of the permission to use material from "UFO Update" and the inability to clarify matters further, I have uploaded these newsletters to the Canada folder I created in the online archive on the AFU's website.

These issues have kindly been scanned by Matthew Riot.
