BUSY WEEK WITH SEVERAL VISITS

At AFU, we regularly entertain visitors to our premises. Starting today (Saturday January 17), we have a busy week with 4 different groups of visitors.

Today, 6 friends sharing an interest in space and astronomy came to AFU for a small tour of our premises. Anders Liljegren and Thomas Michanek gave a presentation of AFU and showed them parts of our archives and libraries. After a lunch break, they bought some books and paraphernalia from our shop, and left as happy campers. They showed their gratitude by signing our guestbook (see photo, text in Swedish).

Tomorrow, AFU's chairman Clas Svahn comes to AFU together with several visitors: relatives to the astronomers Lars Olof and Kerstin Lodén, whose archive we have acquired, as well as two persons from Linköping University, lecturers in religious studies.

On Wednesday January 21 we will have a guided tour for a group of former/senior journalists in the county of Östergötland.

Finally, on Saturday January 24 we are visited by the documentary filmmaker Brad Abrahams and the Swedish author Johan Theorin and a few colleagues.

If you want to visit AFU, make sure to contact us and book a suitable day, so that we can prepare your visit and make sure we have people present that you would like to meet.

RISK FÖR ÖVERSVÄMNING I VÅRA LOKALER...
(This post is only available in Swedish)

I torsdags fick vi på AFU hjärtat i halsgropen. En stor vattenläcka uppstod på gatan i Norrköping där AFU har sina källarlokaler. Mer än 4.000 kubikmeter vatten rann ut på andra sidan gatan och täckte hela gatan, men som tur är rann inte vattnet över trottoaren och ner till husen på "vår" sida. Annars hade det kunnat bli en smärre katastrof för oss...

Gissa varför vi letar efter nya lokaler! Du får väldigt gärna ge AFU ett bidrag, helst månadsvis, så att vi får in mer medel för att kunna hyra andra lokaler eller hantera skador som kan uppstå. Läs mer om bidrag här: https://www.afu.se/donations-sponsorship/your-sponsorship/

YOUTUBE FILM FROM AFU VISIT

Today the Youtuber Le Grand JD (Julien Donzé) published a nice video from a visit he made at AFU on August 5. If you listen to the original in French you will hear Clas Svahn speak with his own voice (in English). If you instead select an English speaker voice (generated by AI), it will dub Clas voice and that will lead to a number of errors. The same is true for the auto-generated English subtitles. So if you understand French, please use the original version.

A quote from Julien when he was in the AFU headquarters: "It looks like the Fox Mulder office!" ;-)

On Saturday, August 16, we had an event at the Museum of work (Arbetets museum) in the city of Norrköping. During a few hours, we held presentations of the UFO phenomena, the Swedish UFO organization UFO-Sverige, and of course AFU.
The purpose of the event was to find more people who are interested in giving a helping hand to AFU and UFO-Sverige. In other words, to extend the group of volunteers working with our archives and/or investigating UFO observations.

Later in the afternoon, we arranged a study visit to the AFU premises in Norrköping, to show some of our collections and libraries. We can honestly say that all visitors were impressed by our archives.

Close to 50 people attended our presentations, and around a dozen people showed interest in helping out. We will of course keep in touch with all of them to make sure they can contribute in the future!

A longer text in Swedish about the event can be found in the blog of chairman Clas Svahn:
