AIFSR or AIUFOFSR was an organisation in Adelaide, South Australia formed and directed by Mr. Colin Norris, an Australian Air Force veteran who experienced a UFO close hand in World War II.
AIFSR met at the Better Hearing Association on Wakefield Street Adelaide every two months for many years. Audiences could fill the room with as many as 100 people. A gold-coin ($1 or $2) donation was requested at the door.
AIFSR would start its meetings with a brief introduction, reports on local (city or state) UFO sightings, then proceed into a session conducted by a main speaker.
These meetings lasted about two hours and were followed by about an hour of interesting coversation over coffee, tea and snacks.
AIFSR had a lending library and regularly sent out a carefully crafted booklet newsletter with interesting articles about UFO's and UFO theories. These often had an international audience and international content.
Sadly, AIFSR eventually had to change meeting premises to a less favourable location.
Attendance and membership numbers dwindled.
Colin Norris eventually reached a senior age and gave up management of AIFSR to proxy management by relatives.
AIFSR was a premier public UFO organisation in South Australia.
