UFO Hunters Plan Database to Track Sightings
An investigative organization has kick-started the creation of a worldwide UFO database, which will allow people around the globe to report their supposed extraterrestrial encounters.
A new tool from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) promises to help demystify the mystique that rides along with skywatchers' interpretations that extraterrestrial intruders are cruising Earth's airspace. But in today's age of video and cellphone cameras, iPhone apps, Twitter and other techniques, can these tools assist or hinder classifying the "strangeness factor" of UFOs?
Is such a database needed, and who cares? Moreover, what's the current status of UFOs in 2015?
Real science
MUFON's plan to plot out a new database is designed to advance the group's investigative and citizen-action sighting efforts.
The organization's mission is the scientific study of UFOs for the benefit of humanity, said Jan Harzan, executive director of MUFON, headquartered in Newport Beach, California. In that regard, he said that fulfilling this scientific quest requires the systematic study of the nature and behavior of the physical universe, based on observation, experiment and measurement.
"To do real science, one would need a way to collect and store observations and measurements taken from a given field of study" — in this case, UFOs — and also to retrieve and correlate this data in the form of analysis and possible experiments, Harzan said. . . .

Dan Aykroyd Endorses UFO Kickstarter Campaign | VIDEO
.jpg)
Dan Aykroyd, longtime paranormal and UFO enthusiast, has made an endorsement video for the Mutual UFO Network’s (MUFON) Kickstarter campaign.
Aykroyd’s work in TV and film is legendary, and he is a major UFO buff. The extent of his interested was demonstrated in the 2012 documentary Dan Aykroyd Unplugged on UFOs. It is 2 hours of Aykroyd talking about UFOs, which may sound boring to some, but I loved it. His level of knowledge on the history of the phenomena is remarkable. He shows he is at par with some of the top researchers in the field.
A video released recently the MUFON (seen below) shows he is still keeping up with the topic. In the video, he is endorsing MUFON’s Kickstater campaign. The goal of the campaign is to raise $78,000 to remake their website and UFO database. The plan is to make the website and reporting interface more user friendly for researchers and people in the general public who wish to report their personal UFO sighting.
In the video, Aykroyd talks about his longtime interest in the topic of UFOs, and mentions the television series Psi Factor he produced with his brother. He explains that it “touched on inter-dimensional issues.” . . .

UFOs in New York and North America – A 2014 Report
A week doesn’t go by that someone steps up to me in a super market line or at my local diner haunt and asks:
“Cheryl are there really a lot of UFOs in New York? Followed by the comment, “I never hear about any.”
My first response typically is, “You should be reading my column every week and yes, there are heaps of UFO sightings.” Then I add, “Did you know that New York State is fifth in the nation for reported UFO sightings!”
This remark usually invokes a look of awe and wonderment. While the truth about UFO sightings numbers amazes people, the implication also tends to make the color drain from their faces.
So let’s talk about the numbers. There are two national UFO databases: MUFON.COM and NUFORC.ORG. For purposes of this article I will be using National UFO Reporting Center or NUFORC data. . . .

Over 200 UFOs Spotted
By Sara Nelson
A DATABASE of UFO sightings by police officers has clocked up more than 200 cases in five years.Launched by Detective Constable Gary Heseltine, of the British Transport Police (BTP), the unofficial site has seen around 100 officers added each year to date.
Sightings in the News Shopper region include one in Farnborough and one in Gravesend.
In October 1993 PC Tony Francis was called to an address in Gravesend after reports of a UFO from a mother and her son.
The craft was described as changing its shape from that of a bell to an oval with protruding spikes.
According to the DC Heseltine, a seven-page report on the sighting was submitted to the Ministry of Defence, which gave no explanation for the UFO.

Back in April 1978, PC Alan Craggs was called to an address in Farnborough, following an alleged UFO sighting.
According to the site, PC Craggs described it as: "being 20-30 feet above him with wings like fins on a dolphin."
The craft had allegedly been in the sky for close to an hour before the officer arrived.
PC Craggs is reported to have said: "I've been in the Air Force, I know what an aircraft looks like at night."
The site lists a total of 43 new reports of UFOs seen by on-duty police officers across Britain in the past year, with the largest number of sightings taking place in West Yorkshire.
DC Heseltine, who works for the BTP in Leeds, said: "After studying the subject for over thirty years I am totally convinced that a small proportion of UFO sightings are genuine and represent an extraterrestrial presence on the earth.
"I urge any officer out there, whether serving or retired to contact me about their respective UFO experiences.
"Anyone wishing to have their identity witheld can do so safe in the knowledge that I will never release their details unless they specifically allow me to."
