 ... Francis L. Ridge NICAP Site Coordinator January 1, 2007
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, 2006, marked
the 9th year anniversary for the NICAP web site. The Fund for UFO
Research is now supporting the site and providing funds for site and
domain fees, with a pledge to work with NICAP and CUFOS to coordinate
our efforts in the years ahead. A bonus for the year was the closing
down of the old, outdated "dabsol" web site, which has been a thorn in
the side of all Google searches for many years.
Our plans for 2007 include: 1) The 1970 UFO Chronology on Jan. 15th, followed by one consecutive year each month on the 15th of each month, with the massive, world-wide UFO wave of 1973 to be released in mid-April. Following that wave there will be the 1974 to 1981 UFO chronologies, the latter being released in December. Of special interest will no doubt be the 1975 UFO Chronology with the famous UFO overflights over northern tier bases. 2) A major report on the findings regarding the Mantell Incident will be produced and delivered for printing by the Fund for UFO Research later in the year .

Achievements 2006 Authorized, full-length versions of classic UFO books on this site, includes some new additions, including the next item. Located onsite last year was a "sneak preview" of the book, "Regional Encounters: The FC Files", which I wrote and published in 1994. The book, now out of print, is now available on the NICAP site FREE! Be sure to visit the impressive sightings pages
at our GSID
Page,
the 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. 8550 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.
