PDFs: 90 issues of skeptical "Phactum" newsletter - Philadelphia Association for Critical Thinking

With kind permission from the Philadelphia Association for Critical Thinking, I have now added searchable PDF copies of 90 issues of their newsletter ("Phactum") to my free online archive of UFO and Fortean material.

As described on the website of the Philadelphia Association for Critical Thinking ("PhACT"), PhACT's mission is "to encourage rational thought and the use of scientific principles ... intended to be an active, hands-on, experimental group.". 

"Phactum" described itself as "the main propaganda organ for the Philadelphia Association for Critical Thinking".





For ease of reference, the skeptical material currently in my online archive is listed below (this material being in addition, of course, to the hundreds of ufological / Fortean newsletters and magazines from other viewpoints that I have uploaded to that archive in recent years thanks to the help of well over 100 UFO groups / researchers around the world and, of course, thanks to permission from the relevant individuals):
