NUFORC: A Long-Running Crowdsourced Archive of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena and Its Modernization Prospects

To the point

NUFORC is a long-standing nonprofit that collects public reports of unidentified aerial phenomena since 1974, turning them into structured records while preserving witness drawings and select interviews, stripping personal data for privacy, and relying on a small team to filter spam without formal verification, all in a searchable archive with a Mapbox globe, though the infrastructure is aging and US-focused with limited transparency about review and preservation.
