Mufon (Mutual UFO Network) is a volunteer
organization established in 1969 and has grown into the largest UFO
investigative organization in the world. Its mission statement is the:
“Scientific study of UFOs for the benefit of humanity.”
Mufon currently has around 4,000 members, 800 field investigators, and is
represented in all 50 states and 25 countries. Mufon has a data base of over
25,000 UFO reports, which have been compiled over the last 40 years, a monthly
journal, and the organization sponsors an annual symposium. For
more information visit the
Mufon web site or the
Iowa web site.
My interest in extraterrestrial visitation can be traced back to my childhood, but it wasn’t until July of 2009, when contemplating retirement, that I decided I would have time to join Mufon (Mutual UFO Network). Within a year of joining and attending meetings, I passed the training requirements to become a field investigator. My first case assignment was in April of 2010 and as of 2015 I have investigated over 80 cases.
In August of 2012 I became a member of the "Star Team"(Strike Team Area
Research). Members of the Star team are required to respond within 24
hours to any site in Iowa in which the presence of physical evidence of an
extraterrestrial encounter is suspected. This might include landing
traces, anomolous objects, crop circles, or animal mutilations.
