How
to Make a UFO Sighting Report
(taken from ufos.about.com
)
If you see a UFO, it's important to write down all of the details as
soon as possible, while they are still fresh in your mind.
Difficulty
Level:
easy
Time Required:
Approximately 60 minutes.
Here's
How:
- Start with the exact date and time.
- List all witnesses' names, addresses, and
phone numbers. Also provide ages and occupations when possible.
- Give your exact location at the time of the
sighting. Street address, city, state, country.
- Describe the weather. Was it sunny?
Overcast? Raining? A clear night? Full moon?
- In what part of the sky was the UFO located?
North, South, East, West? On the horizon or straight overhead or
somewhere in between?
- Did the UFO move? How far and how fast?
Describe its movements in detail.
- Describe the appearance of the UFO: shape,
size, distance, color, texture, sound. Draw a picture of it.
- Describe the area in which you made the
sighting. Is it near an airport? An Air Force Base? A military or
research installation of any kind?
- Write a narrative describing what happened
in your own words, just as it occurred.
- If there were other witnesses, have each of
them write their own report, without consulting with each other.
Have one person collect all of the sighting reports.
- If you wish to report the sighting to your
local authorities or to the military, then do so. Remember,
distribute only copies of reports or photos. Do not give the
originals to anyone.
- Contact one or more of the places listed on
my "Current UFO News" page or "UFO
Organizations" page and report your sighting by e-mail or
telephone.
- Find out who your state or local MUFON
investigator is and get his or her address. Send copies of your
reports to them, or if you prefer, to another UFO Organization.
Tips:
- Never
give away your original reports and photos or negatives. You may
never see them again.
- As
Sherlock Holmes said: "It is a capital mistake to theorize
before you have all the evidence. It biases the judgement."
Check out every possibility that what you saw was something
ordinary.
- Don't
go to the media. Let them come to you.
