dec 1, 1974 - NUFORC established

Description:

NUFORC was founded in 1974 by Robert J. Gribble.[2] It has catalogued almost 90,000 reported UFO sightings over its history, most of which were in the United States.[3] In addition to record keeping, the center has provided statistics and graphs to assist others looking for information. Slate Magazine published an interactive graph published by the current director, Peter Davenport, which showed the density of sightings relative to an area.[4]

Since its establishment in 1974, the Center has provided a 24-hour hotline phone number for people to report UFO activity that is currently going on in their area.[7] It also has an online form to submit written reports.

Until 2006, the Center was based in Seattle, Washington, but that year it relocated to a bunker in a former nuclear missile site about 50 miles west of Spokane, Washington.[6][13]
