This month it is just 40 years since the last issue of MUFOB. Originally 'Merseyside UFO Bulletin', when the editors moved to the London area the name 'Metempirical UFO Bulletin' was dreamed up, but no-one ever really called it that.

All the links have dates of 2014, which isn't 40 years ago (I'm good at subtracting). Were these pieces re-run in the online magazine in 2014? Has it been only 5 years since Magonia magazine folded? It seems like it's been longer than that.
