NUFORC: Fifty Years of Collecting UAP Reports—from a 24/7 Hotline to an Online Database of About 150,000 Entries
To the point
NUFORC is a group started in 1974 by Robert J. Gribble to collect and publish reports of unusual aerial phenomena in a searchable database of about 150,000 entries, ran a 24/7 hotline for years before Peter Davenport took over in 1994 and operates largely from his own funds in an underground bunker, while Wendy Connors built an audio witness archive and Timothy Renner created a GitHub resource to standardize the data, making it a key public and research repository even as yearly counts have fluctuated since 2014.
