Welcome

As we move nto ths New Year, I am mdy optmstc for the progress of

Ufoogy over the next tweve months. Some mght reasonaby ask where I get ths

optmsm from but the trck I feel s not to rase your hopes too hgh. I base my

comments not on the expectaton of somethng bg happenng because as we al

truy know, t never does. Instead, I fnd mysef mpressed wth the enthusasm and

ntegent deas of many n the fed and I feel there s hope for a more structured

and better organsed approach to the subject over the comng months.

For my own part, I may as wel voce my own ambtons whch up untl now, except

for a few ndvduas n whom I have confded, I have tended to keep under my

bet. Actuay why Im so secretve s beyond me but I suspect that s a character

fang on my part. The fact s, my ambton wl hardy be a surprse and that s to

take UFO Revew nto prnt.

The one weakness I have s that I am aone, as n fact I aways have been n my

professonal fe. I woud have gven anythng when I ran my own busness for

many years, as I dd, to have had a brother or a partner that I coud trust. One

person is capabe of achevng thngs on ther own but t s aways so much better

when one has someone ese to bounce deas off. Of course, partnershps are

fraught wth danger but I recognse my mtatons and can see the areas where I

am most exposed.

But t woud be nce f the UK once agan had a Ufoogcal newsstand pubcaton

and that s my goa. Its aso the goal of one or two others as wel and I wsh them

wel too n ther own quest for success.

It snt easy, as anyone who has done ths before wl testfy, and the more one

refects on whats nvoved and what one has to do once the cyce s started, the

more one recognses just how stupd and nane a venture t s. Ergo t foows that I

at east have to gve t a try. Wel see.

Id ke to make one predcton for 2006 whch I feel may wel come about, and ts

ths. The Berwyn Mountan case wl resurface agan bg tme. For those of you

unfamar wth t, n January 1974, on a mountan n Waes, there was an

ÐncdentÑ. The sceptcal consensus these days s that the event was a tr-

combnaton of bodes, earth ghts, and a mnor earthquake. Yep, three events

roed nto one. The words ÐcrashÑ and ÐUFOÑ were not appended to ths case when

t orgnay occurred and t was one that crept under the radar of the Ufoogcal

brgade back then. A hoax etter sent the whoe thng sprang off and ts bounced

around ever snce. Over the years and despte a pethora of wtnesses, a thorough

revew of the case was beyond the abty of most athough Andy Roberts has

produced the most defntve account so far. Andys work was very good but yet t

stl dd not seem to qute satate those that foowed ths case and athough Andy

woud argue otherwse, there were stl too many unanswered questons eft over.

Even f you want to remove the possbty of any Ufoogcal connecton to ths case

whatsoever, you are stl caught n ths trap of there beng possby three strange

events al occurrng vrtuay smutaneousy and whe strange thngs can and do

happen n fe, when they do, you have a hard tme comng to terms wth t a. The

atter part of 2005 saw a resurgence of nterest n ths case and I have a feeng

that more wl foow on ths.

BACK TO BACK

The chances are that you came to ths edton of UFO Revew by pckng up the ead

from a Ufoogcal message board or Lst, or somethng smar. There are an

abundance of Ufoogcay reated stes that come and go over tme but two n

partcuar have stayed the course and rsen to the top. They are UFO UpDates and

UfoogyUK.

Of the two, the Toronto based Updates has been around the ongest and s

generay recognsed as beng the premer Lst. It has an abundance of wel known

names on t and the evel of debate s of a hgher order than average. Ths snt by

accdent. The Lst has one unusual feature about t whch enabes the standard of

postng to be mantaned. It s permanenty moderated whch means that the

moderator, Errol Bruce Knapp, checks and reads each and every mal before

pacng t up on the board. The bottom ne there s that not every message sent n

necessary gets posted. Messages for exampe can be rejected smpy because they

are not ad out or formatted propery, and Errol doesnt have the tme to make

serous correctons to peopes work hmsef. So f you dont get t rght, you dont

get on. The stated reason for messages havng to be neat and tdy and ad out to

an estabshed format s because once posted on the board, they are then

automatcay sent to the Updates archves whch have proven to be a great

research source for many. The way the archves are set up means that t can ony

accept a message ad out n a partcuar manner.

There s another, ncdental reason of course. As a resut of correct formattng,

messages are neat and tdy and easy to read, unke on the majorty of other

boards where there s no moderaton and readng some postngs can be a severe

stran on the eye. It s smpy the settng of a standard, namey that f ths s gong

to be done, then ts gong to be done propery and refects the fact that those

takng part n the debates on Updates are aduts, wth many from an academc

background.

Of course, al ths ÐfussnessÑ can ead to frustraton among some who just cant get

ther heads round whats needed.

And t aso paces Errol n a very formdabe poston for t coud be argued that he

contros what peope read and therefore drecty contros and nfuences what

peope n Ufoogy thnk.

Ufoogy UK, as the name mpes, s UK based and s amed at the Brtsh ufoogcal

scene. Its membershp though s open to anyone, as s Updates. Joe McGonage s

the moderator but hs stye s dfferent from Erros, probaby as a resut of a ack of

tme, and usuay postngs are not moderated athough just to be awkward, Joe s

dong that at the moment as an experment. It means that when someone presses

the send key, usuay wthn a few mnutes ther message appears on the board.

There s more of a Brtsh nfuence on Updates than there s a North Amercan

nfuence on UfoogyUK and t shows. UfoogyUK very much refects the character

and nature of Brtsh Ufoogy and there s an undoubted dfference n temperament

and sprt between the two.

As postngs are not normay moderated, t does mean that Joes overal nfuence

on the scene s more subte than Erros. Errol very rarey posts on hs own Lst

uness t s to remnd us about ayout whe Joe does post reguary on Ufoogy UK.

That means he has a hgher profe and as he expresses vews and opnons, t aso

means he attracts crtcsm.

So; two dfferent Lsts n two dfferent styes run by two dfferent men. Who are

they? What do we know about them? Who for Gods sake are these guys that have

t n ther power to control what we read and thnk and fashon Ufoogcal atttudes

and opnon?

Mght as wel tak to them and fnd out for ourseves.

Errol Bruce-Knapp

SM: How od are you?

EBK: Im 63 now.

SM: You were born, f I remember correcty, n Egypt?

EBK: Yes. My dad was an oxymoron; he was n mtary ntegence.

SM: Whch mtary?

army. My grandmother s Regency Brghton and my grandfather was Canadan.

They met when she was a nurse and he was a wounded and was shpped back from

France to the UK. They met when he was n hospta. Its a ovey, romantc story.

SM: How ong dd you spend n Egypt?
