Pajarito Astronomers Meeting Notice - May 1986

The Pajarito Astronomers meeting notice is dated 1986-05-20.¹ According to the notice, the organisation scheduled its next meeting for 1986-05-29 at 7:30 p.m. in the Ranch Room at Fuller Lodge.² The document therefore records a specific meeting arrangement, including its date, time and named venue, rather than merely referring to an undated or general gathering. Its central subject was a planned presentation concerning scientific attention to the Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) question.

According to the notice, John Warren, of AT-6, was the scheduled guest speaker.³ The stated title of his presentation was “Why Should a Scientist be Concerned about UFO’s?”³ The notice also identifies Warren as affiliated with AT-6.⁴ This combination of a named speaker, an organisational affiliation and an explicitly stated topic makes the source useful for identifying how UFO-related discussion was presented to this local astronomy group in May 1986. The wording records the proposed subject of the talk; it does not, in the claims available for this source, provide the contents of Warren’s presentation or any associated case account.

The notice also gives organisational context. According to the source, the Pajarito Astronomers were sponsored by Club 1663.⁵ It lists the organisation’s postal address as P.O. Box 1092, Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA, 87544.⁶ Additional directions state that the Ranch Room was at the south end of Fuller Lodge, facing Central Avenue, and could be reached by going around outside and upstairs.⁷ These practical details matter because they preserve the notice’s local and organisational setting alongside its subject matter. As a source for UAP research, the document is consequently relevant as a dated record of a planned public-facing discussion about UFOs, its speaker and institutional setting, while leaving the substance of the meeting to the underlying event or other records.
