FOREWORD 0s the International Director of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), the world's largest and most geographically widespread independent UFO research organization, I am aware, perhaps more than most, that the UFO phenomenon is a truly global one. Unidentified Flying Objects are experienced by people all over the world and the World Atlas of UFO's shows this continent by continent. The World Atlas of UFO's also highlights areas of large countries - remote or less technological countries - where UFO's are rarely reported. It becomes apparent that UFO reporting is confined to those areas that have UFO investigators to whom these events can be reported. Those of us involved in the study of this phenomenon are convinced that if there were more people to whom sightings could be reported, then more cases deserving of serious study would reach UFO researchers. During my twenty years at MUFON I have determined at least two important things: first, that the UFO subject is serious and deserves to be treated with greater respect by scientists, world governments and the public than it presently is; second, that this subject is bringing people together across the world, and in a way that brings out their best talents. Thousands of people are donating hundreds of hours per year without financial compensation to helping those who do not seem to understand their own experiences or who may be unwilling victims of traumatic experiences. The annual MUFON International UFO Sjnnposium attracts hundreds of people from all over the world who come together in a spirit of joint endeavour' that breaks down international boundaries. Both the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) and the British UFO Research Association (BUFORA) are organizations to which the author and many of the contributors belong. They have a stated objective to educate the public in a responsible and authoritative manner, to encourage other groups and organizations around the world to share their work, and to proceed towards a solution to this intriguing and mysterious subject. This book is part of that process. Walter H. Andrus Jr. International Director Mutual UFO Network
INTRODUCTION Hnidentificd Flying Objects are a subject which is much misunderstood: partly because of poor media attention, partly because of inadequate support from the scientific community and partly because of the absurd claims of cult followers who attach themselves to the subject. The end result is that authoritative data rarely gets to the general public and the UFO phenomenon as a whole attracts ridicule. The World Atlas of UFO's aims to redress that imbalance. We do not know what UFOs are: some cases make it very clear that they are a physical reality; other cases seem to be caught up in a sociological event; some cases have mythological and others psychological components. Some UFO reports are humorous and appear to be relatively unimportant while a great many have serious, often frightening implications for individual people and for the world as a whole. Too many people have been touched by UFOs, directly and indirectly, for the UFO phenomenon to be wished away. These people and the rest of the world deserve a reasoned attempt to provide them with the answers that they seek - whatever those answers may be. The World Atlas of UFO's proves one thing very clearly: that at some level, or in some way, the UFO phenomenon is real. To compile a world database of over forty years of research from all around the world was a daunting task. I could not have easily done so without the support of friends and colleagues across the world who supplied data, gave their opinions, guided me to sources of data, or simply kept me going when the coffee ran out. From an endless list I would particularly like to mention: Hilary Evans, Cynthia Hind, Paul Norman, Eduardo Russo, Walter H Andrus Jnr, Budd Hopkins, Thomas (Eddie) Bullard, Bertil Kuhlemann, Jenny Randies, Steve Gamble, Bob Uigby, Philip Mantle, Andy Roberts. None of these people are responsible for any opinions expressed in the book other than those they make in their own section introductions. My thanks also to the artists and illustrators, Tony Roberts, Martin Bower and Keith Scaife for their astonishing visualizations that portray the mystery and awe of key events. I would like to give special thanks to three other people who each gave very special support in their own way: my wife, Anne, who became researcher and cartographer despite the demands of our home and her own business; Anna Mumford, of Reed International Books, who gave tremendous back-up and installed a hot-line direct to my desk; Kathryn Howard, a UFO abductee who, when I needed a fresh perspective on the subject, provided it (in trumps!). There are people missing from this list who, for various reasons, cannot be acknowledged individually: the hundreds of good UFO investigators whose cases make up the databases - space simply prohibits a full cross-referenced list; psychologists and some scientists who prefer to remain anonymous at least for the moment; witnesses whose cases are not included out of respect for their wish that their stories remain out of the public domain - the perspective they provide is vital. In researching the data, I have used many case files including my own, and taken the opinions of many more experienced than myself. For specific references I have referred to many publications (see Bibliography page 192). None of the books, journals or authors mentioned are responsible for the opinions expressed, some of which are no doubt contrary to their own. Such is this subject.
