 ... Francis L. Ridge NICAP Site Coordinator January 29, 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 the NICAP Sighting Information Database.
Seventeen major sources are linked from there..
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.
