Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox company The British UFO Research Association or BUFORA is a UK organisation formerly registered as "BUFORA Ltd"; dedicated to investigating UFO phenomena in the British Isles. In 1997 the organisation was reported to have around 1,000 members.[1]

History

In 1991, the book UFO Encyclopedia was compiled for the group by Major Sir Patrick Wall.[2]

Status

BUFORA investigates over 400 cases a year, with the organisation reporting 95% of them as hoaxes.[3] They run witness support groups for those who believe they have encountered extra terrestrials.[3] The organisation has held an annual conference at Sheffield Hallam University since 1987[4] and hold meetings across the country; with Rendlesham Forest being a frequent spot for gatherings.[5] They have been outspoken critics of the UK government's Freedom of Information Act as it relates to UFOs.[6]

Controversy

An entry in the UFO Encyclopedia, which was a sighting confirmed as genuine by BUFORA, was later found to be a hoax. The supposed contactee, who claimed to have seen a UFO hovering over the town of Warminster, admitted to the hoax in 1994.Шаблон:Cn In 1995, the group were the only official UFO organisation to endorse a film, purportedly by the US government, showing an alien autopsy at Roswell.[7]
