Ufology is a term given to the study, research and analysis of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) and Unidentified Aerial Phemomena (UAP). It is beyond doubt now that objects and crafts, unknown to man, do exist. In recent years, campaigners for UFO disclosure, some of whom have dedicated decades to the cause, have got the justice they have been fighting for. For the last 80 years, the U.S. government has investigated UFOs, with major efforts called 'Project Blue Book' being the most well known. In 2023, former intelligence officers testified about alleged secret government recovery programs for non-human craft. In recent years the Pentagon has established the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) to investigate reported sightings.
UFO and UAP sightings are by no means a modern thing. As time has gone on, more credible evidence has been collected during alleged sightings, and with the development of the camera and other modern technologies, it has allowed the analysis and research to evolve to a point where the existence of non-human craft can't be questioned.
This page will form a hub for my own personal investigations into incidents and sightings and I will report on my findings. I hope to also create an interactive timeline to easily navigate between my research, with entries in italics being those I feel are significant.
