MUFON Kentucky Newsletter

History

Kentucky MUFON published its newsletter from 607 Eldorado Drive, Elizabethtown, Kentucky 42701, beginning in 1998. Annual subscriptions cost $22.00 for twelve monthly issues of six to twelve pages each. The newsletter adopted a deliberately personal tone, opening its November 1998 issue with a first-person abduction account titled "My Story: Four Hours of Terror!" and continuing the narrative across subsequent issues. Support meetings were held every second Thursday and the last Friday of each month in Elizabethtown.

The chapter operated as both an investigation unit and an experiencer support network. The newsletter stated explicitly that it would cover "not only personal abduction but the spirituality that comes from the knowledge of abductions. You can't have one without the other." This dual mission distinguished Kentucky MUFON from chapters that maintained strict separation between investigation and experiencer support. The second annual conference was held at Western Kentucky University on 24 April 1999, with the first conference available on video featuring lectures by Ted Phillips, Bill Bruer, Annie Madie, Dr. Peter Moscow, and Dr. James McDonough.

The newsletter included practical guidance for members considering hypnotic regression, advising them to assess their support systems before beginning: "Often after you begin hypnosis you will find that you go through a depression period or periods of anxiety. Do you have a friend or spouse who will support you while you pursue this type of investigation?" The chapter also maintained an archives address for requesting book and video lists, functioning as a lending library for members across the state.
