 ... Francis L. Ridge NICAP Site Coordinator January 1, 2006
Greetings Fellow Enthusiasts,
The National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP)
was formed in 1956, flourished through about 1970, and, as an
organization with field investigators and consultants, declined
gradually thereafter. For a more detailed story about NICAP please
check Richard Hall.This is an official, fully authorized web site, designed for
public information and media use. NICAP may no longer exist as an
active member organization, but its pages contain links to the
evidence, the very best evidence. The 15th of December, 2005, marked
the 8th year anniversary for the NICAP web site. Check out the latest
briefing accomplishments
and 8th Anniversary Celebration here.
Authorized, full-length versions of classic UFO books on this site, includes two new additions. Also located onsite is an "sneak preview" of the book, "Regional Encounters: The FC Files", which I published in 1994. The book is out of print, but is now available on CD-Rom. Click here to order. Be sure to visit the impressive sightings pages
at our GSID
Page
- Global Sighting Information Database.
There have been millions of UFO sightings, but bonified UFOs
are
rare. We have on record, a hundred-thousand-plus sightings on computer
(UFOCAT). In addition we have
* Cat 11: 3,000-plus sightings from aircraft
(Dr.
Richard Haines). Around 200 cases listed on the NICAP site.
* Cat 10: Over 200 cases involving a nuclear
connection, several radiation injury cases.
* Cat 9: 500 radar cases, many radar/visual.
363
radar cases, 76 as R/V (USAF records alone, Dominique Weinstein). 230
incidents are listed on the NICAP site.
* Cat 8: Photographic Evidence. 4,770 cases
(Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos and the Anomaly Foundation).
* Cat 7: Humanoid Cases (hundreds) and
Abduction
Reports.
* Cat 6: 5600 Physical Trace cases documented,
4104
involving UFO visual sightings (CUFOS).
* Cat 5: Medical Cases. Being compiled,
* Cat 4: Over a hundred cases of UFO sightings
involving animal reactions on the NICAP site alone (Joan Woodward).
* Cat 3: E-M Effects. Over 500 cases associated
with
UFO sightings (CUFOS) and 185 E-M cases documented involving UFOs near
aircraft (Dr. Richard Haines). 250 listed on the NICAP site.
* Cat 2: Hundreds, if not thousands, of
excellent
close encounters by credible observers whose testimony in court would
be taken at face value.
* About 1500 (701 originally) UNKNOWNS listed
in
Project Blue Book files (Brad Sparks).
The NICAP site is the number one source of the best evidence
and
covers material from the dawn of the UFO age, over a half century ago.
