UFO Maps



There a lot of sites out there using the Google Maps technology in interesting new ways. UFO Maps is one of them. It correlates Google Maps data with UFO sightings reports from NUFORC, the National UFO Reporting Center. What you end up with is a clickable map of the US with icons placed over locations with recent UFO sightings. It’s really cool to see them all clustered together like this, and try to find recent ones near where you live. You can click on the icons to read full reports of the sightings, or you can go to the location-based sightings report section of NUFORC to find even more.

    cool idea sent to me on this:

    On the UFO map story - what would be really interesting is to add onto
    the map all the ‘likely’ military bases in the US and see if there’s any
    correlation in terms of prototype aircraft.

    I grew up around military bases, and let me tell you, the air force really does think that it can keep a secret at mach 2 over a residential neighborhood. I witnessed both the B-2 bomber and the F-117 fighter, the “stealth” program while it was still secret, flying around overhead at low enough altitudes to be very, very obvious. My dad took me to an astronomy club meeting to look at the telescopes and the stealth fighter rolls out of the hanger next door–while it’s still all hush-hush. I hear they have the same shenanigans going on out in the Northwest.

    I like R.A.Wilson’s statement, I’m paraphrasing: “I see UFOs everyday. I also see NUFOs everyday–what’s the big deal?”
