 ... Francis L. Ridge NICAP Site Coordinator January 29, 2006 Greetings Fellow Enthusiasts, The National Investigations
Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) was formed in 1956, flourished
through about 1970, and, as an organization with field investigators and
consultants, declined gradually thereafter. For a more detailed story
about NICAP please check Richard
Hall.This is an official, fully authorized web site, designed for public
information and media use. NICAP may no longer exist as an active member
organization, but its pages contain links to the evidence, the very best
evidence. The 15th of December, 2005, marked the 8th year anniversary for
the NICAP web site. Check out the latest briefing accomplishments and 8th
Anniversary Celebration here. Authorized, full-length versions of classic UFO books on this site, includes two new additions. Also located onsite is an "sneak preview" of the book, "Regional Encounters: The FC Files", which I published in 1994. The book is out of print, but is now available on CD-Rom. Click here to order. Be sure to visit the impressive sightings pages at the NICAP Sighting Information
Database. Seventeen major sources are linked from
there.. There have been millions of UFO sightings, but bonified UFOs are
rare. We have on record, a hundred-thousand-plus sightings on computer
(UFOCAT). In addition we have * Cat 11: 3,000-plus sightings from
aircraft (Dr. Richard Haines). Around 200 cases listed on the NICAP
site.
* Cat 10: Over 200 cases involving a
nuclear connection, several radiation injury cases.
* Cat 9: 500 radar cases, many
radar/visual. 363 radar cases, 76 as R/V (USAF records alone, Dominique
Weinstein). 230 incidents are listed on the NICAP site.
* Cat 8: Photographic Evidence. 4,770 cases
(Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos and the Anomaly Foundation).
* Cat 7: Humanoid Cases (hundreds) and
Abduction Reports.
* Cat 6: 5600 Physical Trace cases
documented, 4104 involving UFO visual sightings (CUFOS).
* Cat 5: Medical Cases. Being
compiled,
* Cat 4: Over a hundred cases of UFO
sightings involving animal reactions on the NICAP site alone (Joan
Woodward).
* Cat 3: E-M Effects. Over 500 cases
associated with UFO sightings (CUFOS) and 185 E-M cases documented
involving UFOs near aircraft (Dr. Richard Haines). 250 listed on the NICAP
site.
* Cat 2: Hundreds, if not thousands, of
excellent close encounters by credible observers whose testimony in court
would be taken at face value.
* About 1500 (701 originally) UNKNOWNS
listed in Project Blue Book files (Brad Sparks). The NICAP site is the number one source of the best evidence and
covers material from the dawn of the UFO age, over a half century ago. If
