RECENT ACTIVITY AND HIGHLIGHTS

Peter Davenport will be appearing on Jeff Rense Tuesday Jan 12. New reports will be posted after our webmaster returns from New Zealand the last week in January.

Here are a few reports, which caught our eye, and which we think that visitors to our site might find particularly interesting: 

SPRING HILL, TENNESSEE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2009 @ 22:00 hrs. (Central) - A man and his wife, and a police officer, witness a disc-shaped object, with yellow and red lights in its center, pass silently overhead.  Object disappears, and then returns, making a second brief appearance.  Full Report

AUBURN, WASHINGTON, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 06, 2009 @ 01:20 hrs. (Pacific) - An experienced UFO investigator, driving home on Route 167, witnesses two large objects, with peculiar lighting, pass slowly overhead.  One of the objects may have been hovering, when first observed. Full Report 

NORTH PORT, FLORIDA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 03, 2009, @ 13:22 hrs. (Eastern) - A woman reports that an unseen object passed over her home very rapidly, dimming the light entering through an overhead skylight.  The event was accompanied by a loud boom, which frightened her cats, and which was reported throughout her community. Full Report

MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2009 @ 21:39 hrs. (Central) - An experienced airline pilot witnesses a large, gray, triangular-shaped craft pass overhead at apparently very high speed. Full Report

HINSDALE, MASSACHUSETTS, JUNE 1973 @ ~10:00 hrs. (Eastern) - A 17-year old boy witnesses a humming disc, which hovers over a large local field.  The object suddenly accelerates, and shoots off out of sight. Full Report

NEW HOTLINE POLICIES - Because the steady stream of pranks and obscene telephone calls has not abated, we are considering a change in our policy regarding staffing of the Hotline.  On a typical day, 50-80 percent of the calls we receive are hoaxes and pranks, more often than not, accompanied by some of the worst profanity a person could imagine.  This situation is having a deleterious effect on the Director, and we are going to have to fight back, if the National UFO Reporting Center is going to continue providing its service to the public.  We will be posting those new policies, which may include posting of the telephone numbers of the individuals who continue to pester our operations.  Perhaps visitors to our website could induce these cretins to stop disturbing us with their foolishness. 

Also, we will post new guidelines for submitting reports.  There is a great deal of room for improvement of the written reports, and we are going to implement new policies for what we would like to have people include in their written reports

Peter B. Davenport, Director, National UFO Reporting Center, December 12, 2009


NEW REPORTS POSTED ON AUGUST 05 and AUGUST 28, 2009

NUFORC has posted approximately 1,010 (August 05) and 375 (August 27) newly received reports, submitted to our Center since our last posting on June 09th.  We apologize for the substantial delay in updating the website, some of the reasons for which I address in THIS RELATED STATEMENT.

The reports have been scanned for errors, and to eliminate those reports which are cases of mistaken identity.  However, they were scanned under extreme time pressure, so, as is usually the case, there probably are many reports that describe stars or planets; the International Space Station; satellites and “flare ups” from Iridium satellites; meteors; aircraft of terrestrial origin; etc.. 

Hence, if a visitor to our site detects a report which obviously is of something other than a genuine UFO, and which is not appropriately identified and labeled, I would be most grateful those visitors would send me a short e-mail, including the heading of the report, and I will correct our oversight.

Our ultimate objective is to introduce a system which will allow us to post reports on a much more regular, and predictable, basis, perhaps once per week, or even more often, but that system is not in place yet.

We would like to invite you to read our statement regarding how you can help us in our work, assistance which will reduce that amount of time it takes for us to get the information we receive posted to our website.   

I feature below a few reports that caught our attention, and which I believe might be of particular interest to those who visit our site. 


RALEIGH-DURHAM AIRSPACE, OCTOBER 03, 1992, 13:35 HRS.

A senior captain for a major U. S. airline spots what she first interpreted to be a cluster of USAF F-16 “Falcon” fighters in the extreme distance.  Within approximately 30 seconds, she realized that the object was not fighters at all, but rather a boomerang-shaped object, vertically oriented, craft which streaked by her aircraft.   Full Report

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, JULY 04, 2009, 22:30 HRS.

NUFORC received several seemingly credible reports from the Puget Sound area, of one, or more, bizarre red lights, which appeared to the witnesses on the ground to maneuver in a purposeful manner.  Similar reports were received from several other states and countries.  Please read the reports for July 2009  Similar reports of multiple orange or red were submitted from several other states and nations.  Please see other reports for this time and date. 

GREENCASTLE, PENNSYLVANIA, JULY 15, 2009, 05:00 HRS.

A former, senior military officer was preparing for his morning job, when he looked up and witnessed a very strange object, streaking between layers of broken overcast.  He was able to dash to his house to retrieve binoculars, and was able to get a very good look at it, before it suddenly streaked upwards, and disappeared from his within seconds.  The witness has excellent vision, and is a highly trained individual, who held several positions in the military, in which he had a considerable amount of responsibility.  Here is his full report and here is the typed report he submitted as well, with illustrations. 

ILLINOIS, MINNESOTA, MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN, HAWAII, KANSAS, INDIANA, NEW YORK, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, AND MARYLAND, SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 2009

We would like to invite visitors to our site to read all the reports NUFORC received for the night of August 15/16, 2009, from the Midwest and from the eastern U. S., and from other states, as well.  Many of the witnesses were seemingly exceptionally qualified observers, and apparently witnessed several most unusual objects.  If anyone may have been witness to peculiar object on those dates, we would be most grateful if they would please submit written reports, using our Online Report Form, to supplement those reports that we have posted. 


WE HAVE MOVED!

After 32 years in the Seattle area, the National UFO Reporting Center is moving to a new locale in eastern Washington, a decommissioned U. S. Air Force ICBM missile base, located between the towns of Davenport and Harrington, WA, in Lincoln County. This photo of our new "digs" shows the property as it looked in the early 1960's.  Click here for highres. Once the facility is cleaned and renovated, which may take up to a year, our headquarters will operate out of this facility, which was the first underground missile complex commissioned by the U. S. government.

Our telephone service should operate smoothly, since all incoming calls to our Hotline will be automatically forwarded to our telephone. In addition, we anticipate that our internet services will be uninterrupted, although it may require several days for us to activate our new high-speed internet connection. Hence, please be patient while we get these services set up, and operating smoothly.
