La Fenomenologia Hamanoide en la Argentina

One item I have in amongst the various CE3K/AE books is La Fenomenologia Hamanoide en la Argentina -The Hamanoid Phenomenology in Argentina compiled by Roberto E. Banchs and publihed in 1977 by the Servicia de investigaciones Ufologicas (Ufological Research Service).

It is a 60pp booklet cataloguing 46 CE3K reports from 1950-1975 and an evaluation of these. Sadly, it never got translated into English and my Spanish is pretty poor.  The booklet was published at around the same time period as the Webb and Bloecher 1973 The Year of the Humanoids and BUFORA publishing Ted Bloecher's papre presented at a conference titled Close Encounters of the Third Kind. 

At the same time my own paper on the subject was rejected by BUFORA as bing interesting but there was o little interest in the subject that it "could not justify the expense". To be fair that was BUFORAs standard response to anything like this. Howver, they did ask me to update the Bloecher HUM CAT (Humanoid Catalogue) UK section. I put the work in and heard no more...a year later I was told Bloecher was quite happy with the material that BUFORA took full credit for -my name was apparently removed from copies.

TRhis booklet will be added to the South America folder for posterity.
