RECENT ACTIVITY AND HIGHLIGHTS
WEBSITE AND DATABASE UPDATED ON
As is always the case, we cannot certify that the reports posted are devoid of
flaws or oversights on our part. Almost certainly, there are some reports
that do not address sightings of genuine UFO’s, but we have attempted to
identify as many of the latter as possible, given the limited amount of time we
have to investigate, or corroborate, each report. As we frequently do,
when posting new reports, we would request that visitors to our site be on the
lookout for things that have been overlooked by us, such as 1) personal
information in a report, 2) reports about over-flights of the International
Space Station and Space Shuttle, 3) meteoric events, and 3) obvious hoaxes.
We know from experience that reports that have nothing to do with sightings of
“bona fide” UFO’s usually slip through even our most careful proofreading, so we
request that visitors help us identify those reports. We will amend, or
delete them, as time permits.
We list below some of the reports which caught our eye, and which we believe
would be of interest to visitors to our site:
O’FALLON,
PINE LEVEL,
LA PINE,
Later this week, we will post a number of illustrations, to supplement some of
the reports we have posted to our website on this date.
Posted by Peter Davenport, Director, NUFORC,
As always, the newly posted reports may be fraught with errors on the part of
the authors, and oversights in proofreading on our part. We would be most
grateful if the visitors to our site would remain on the lookout for any
obviously hoaxed reports, profanity, personal information in the “Description”
portion of the reports, and reports which obviously can be ascribed to events of
terrestrial nature, e.g. over-flights of the International Space Station,
“sightings” of Jupiter or Sirius, missile launches, or the many other prosaic
events which have nothing to do with genuine UFO’s. We have attempted to
purge all of the prank reports from the new reports, but we probably did not
properly identify all of them. We would welcome any assistance in
identifying those reports that have nothing to do with sightings of genuine
UFO’s. Any errors can be reported to the Director, at
director@ufocenter.com. Thank
you!
Here are a few reports, which caught our eye, and which we think that visitors
to our site might find particularly interesting:
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
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,
NEW REPORTS POSTED ON AUGUST 05 and
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, 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.
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, 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,
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, 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 WE HAVE MOVED!
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. For a list of past featured reports and highlights click here.

THE
NATIONAL UFO REPORTING CENTER
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.
