RECENT ACTIVITY AND HIGHLIGHTS

We recently have received several queries as to the status of our website, and when visitors to our site can expect updates.  We apologize for our delay in updating the website this month, and we hope to have that problem solved soon. 

Over the last two months, Peter has been saddled with a cluster of personal responsibilities, which have demanded a great deal of time.  However, within a week, or so, that work will have been completed, and he will be able to devote himself more to work related to the National UFO Reporting Center.

In the meantime, we would like everyone to submit reports, using our Online Report Form, which is what we traditionally ask of everyone, even when they telephone our telephone Hotline.  The only kind of report that is valuable, and that can be posted to our website, is a written report, and we invite everyone who thinks he, or she, has been witness to a possible UFO-related event to carefully compose a short written account of the event, spell-check the text, and then “Copy & Paste” that statement into the “Description” box on our report form.  Then, please then fill in the other boxes, and when the form is filled out to your satisfaction, click on the “Submit Report” button, located at the bottom of the form.  We will receive your written report within a minute, or so.

Peter has one more out-of-town trip to make, but he will be back within a few days.  At that time, he will update the site with the current reports.  Either Peter, or a volunteer, will monitor the Hotline during his absence, and we will attempt to respond to urgent, or important, calls.

Thank you for your patience!


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.
