The Scientific Investigation of UFO's

The 5 Essential Lessons of Field Investigation

      This site is intended to equip you with the proper tools, lessons, articles and classes on how to investigate paranormal incidents using scientific standards, so that the investigations stand up to the scrutiny that they will surely encounter. The UFO phenomenon is so prevalent, yet good scientific reporting standards typically aren't used when reporting the incidents.

      Our mission is to take the 'giggle' factor out of UFOlogy, classify the 'easy-to-explain-away' reports and scientifically investigate what's left. It is also our mission to teach you how to do the same, so that when and if something extraordinary (not necessarily extraterrestial) happens to you or someone close to you, it will be taken seriously and can be investigated using the best tools and techniques available today.
