REPORT A SIGHTING
As a very busy voluntary organisation, BUFORA would appreciate it if all members of the public reporting a sighting, photograph or video footage, please complete, in detail, the BUFORA sighting form found below.
BUFORA do not evaluate photographs or video footage without full supporting information by completing the BUFORA sighting form. Please note, we also require a donation to our organisation of at least £5.50 prior to any image evaluation. Once the BUFORA sighting form below has been filled out click 'Submit' and you'll be directed to a donation payment page.
If there are any images considered to need urgent attention, please contact BUFORA enquiries, and please remember that no evaluation can be carried out without completing the BUFORA Sighting Form below, because we require full supporting information with any photographs/video footage.
In addition, please do not just complete the enquiry form for sighting reports, because you will always be asked to complete the online BUFORA sighting form.
Thank you
The British UFO Research Association is dedicated to the scientific study of the UFO phenomenon. All BUFORA investigators are bound by a strict code of practice, which requires them to conduct all investigations in a professional manner and to respect the anonymity of the witness. A copy of the code can be obtained on request from your BUFORA investigator.
If there is more than one witness to the same sighting, please complete the sighting report form below individually, rather than attempt to merge two or more accounts together of the same incident.
The two diagrams below are to be used as a reference for your answers in the relevant indicated sections in the sighting report form. If you would prefer a paper form, this can be emailed to you by contacting us or Heather Dixon via the contacts page.
