1/1, January-February 1980-6/6, November-December, 1985.
15 pp., $10.00 a year. The journal from its inception as the vehicle for "researched articles" on UFOs rather than "the more popular style articles, newsclips forum, letters, etc." which would be carried by its compatriot, the UFO Research -- Australia -- Newsletter published in South Australia. It focused on the collection and organization of data on UFOs and examinations of the methodology of doing so, and with providing thoughtful and academic exploration of the meaning and consequences of the data. The journal's approach to the phenomena became that of the later, unrelated, The Australian Ufologist.

| Claude-Generated Themes:
|
Read across 1980–1985, the ACUFOS Journal is a research organ of the Australian Centre for UFO Studies — squarely on the MATERIAL side of the field. Its content is sightings, case investigation, entity and landing reports, and the constant methodological argument over hoaxes, illusions and 'explainable phenomena.' This is nuts-and-bolts ufology at its most disciplined: the saucer as a physical anomaly to be documented and tested.
