History

The UFO and Paranormal Research Society of Australia (UFO-PRSA) published Phenomenon Times as its bimonthly journal from PO Box 211X, Leumeah, New South Wales 2560. Attila Kaldy served as both President and Editor. The society was formerly known as the UFO Society of Western Sydney. Issues in the archive span April 2008 through early 2010.

UFO-PRSA operated with a full organisational structure: Larraine Cilia as Vice President and counsellor, Laszlo Novak and Darren Broadie on the committee, Dominic McNamara as Secretary, Andrea Kaldy as Treasurer, and a team of investigators affiliated with AUFORN (Australian UFO Research Network). Laszlo Novak also served as Australian Representative for the Hungarian Centre of UFO Studies. Endre Kriston handled CGI work under the name "STON 3D."

Paranormal Investigators: The Challenge
By April 2008, UFO-PRSA had completed filming a 10-part television series called "Paranormal Investigators: The Challenge," shot across six locations. It was scheduled to air on Television Sydney (TVS, Channel 31). The society also operated a "Paranormal Research Second Division" (pr2d) and the RACE programme (Research of Australian Close Encounters), directed by Kaldy. This was an active, multi-platform operation producing television content, running conferences, and conducting field investigations simultaneously.

The society ran regular monthly meetings and an annual "Next Dimension" conference. From May 2008, it also operated a Support Group meeting on the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 PM, run by Larraine Cilia for abductees and contactees. The group's website was www.ufosociety.com.au. Kaldy's mobile was publicly listed (0412 560 971), suggesting accessibility was a priority.

The journal's content covered UFO sightings (particularly New South Wales and Western Sydney), paranormal investigation reports, conference proceedings, and member research. The society maintained active investigative capacity through its AUFORN affiliation and its own RACE programme, giving it both local and national reach within Australian ufology.
