UAP Organizations FAQ

What are the best non-governmental organizations for reporting public civilian UFO sightings?

There are numerous credible UAP reporting organizations that will accept reports depending on your location. In the United States, The National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) is considered amongst the best for the general public. Most European countries have credible reporting organizations. For example, in France GEIPAN is an arm of CNES, the French National Space agency which accepts UAP reports. In the Great Britian, BUFORA, the British UFO Research Association accepts reports.

There are a variety of organizations advocating for disclosure and declassification of UAP related information. The Disclosure Foundation is dedicated educating the American public and financially supporting politicians who advocate for the full disclosure.

Paradigm Research Group advocates for an end to a government imposed truth embargo of the facts surrounding an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race. The Sol Foundation works on government policy matters relating to the UAP topic. 

Check our complete UAP Organizations listing above for additional advocacy groups. 

There is no shortage of data repositories in the UAP world. Here at the UAP News Center, we have full catalogs of FOIA repositories, UAP related archival sites, and UAP reporting organizations with databases full of sightings reports. For FOIA’ed documents, check out our FOIA Repositories Hub. For UAP archival sites go to our UAP Data Repositories Hub, and for tracking databases investigate UAP reporting organizations on our UAP Orgnizations page. 

Organizations like Americans for Safe Aerospace and The National Aviation Reporting Center On Anomalous Phenomena provide two key functions.

First, they provide a safe and frequently anonymous way for pilots to report UAP sightings. This helps to build a record of potentially unsafe incidents for statistical and advocacy purposes. 

Additionally, they serve in an advocacy role promoting flight safety to government and in the media.

Both Americans for Safe Aerospace and The National Aviation Reporting Center On Anomalous Phenomena allow for the reporting of UAP cases, however only The National Aviation Reporting Center On Anomalous Phenomena allows for anonymous reporting by pilots reducing the risk of airline retaliation. 

We recommend that educators interested in UAP related educational materials visit our Media Resource Hub. This section contains categories including Introduction to UAP materials, educational programs on UAP, and media related resources like UAP focused news sites and UAP focused news aggregators.
