The National UFO Reporting Center

The National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) is a nonprofit organization that collects and examines reports of unidentified flying object (UFO) sightings across North America. Established in 1974, it serves as a centralized database where individuals can report strange aerial phenomena. NUFORC's goal is to compile data for research and to better understand these unexplained sightings, often providing open access to its reports. While not an investigative agency, it offers valuable information to the public, researchers, and authorities interested in the occurrence and patterns of UFO phenomena.
