The best way to report a UFO is to access the MUFON web site at mufon.com. You will be directed to a form. It is important to fill this out as completely as possible. All of the questions provide vital clues in the ongoing research in UFOs. If you choose to remain anonymous your identiy will be a closely guraded secret within MUFON.
For the last several years I have been a Field Investigator for The Mutual UFO Network in Indiana. In this blog I would like to present some of the more interesting cases and the phenomena that that is observed in Indiana. The UFO phenomenon is actually a variety of Phenomena some of which are understood and some that aren't. In addition to the vast number of mistaken naturally occurring events in the sky and the hoaxes there are also some things that have a natural explanation that is not yet understood. There are also intelligently controlled craft that have no conventional explanation.

Here I will discuss the cases that were easily explained, those that turned out to be hoaxes and those that remain mysterious. Occasionally I will offer my own theories.

HARD EVIDENCE

Many excellent UFO researchers are locating and cataloging trace evidence of apparent extraterrestrial craft and other anomalous objects. While a significant amount has been recovered the fact remains that as yet we have no hard evidence that will convince the scientific community that UFOs are a real phenomena. A recent edition of The MUFON Journal stated "There is no scientific evidence for UFOs." Why? Simply because it has not been possible to definitively prove that the stuff recovered came from another otherworldly technology.

While we don't know what the military might have recovered, civilian researchers have so far not been able to recover from an alien crash site anything that points to an alien technology. Objects believed to be implants have been recovered. So has apparent debris from crashed or exploded craft. However the technology they may represent has not been penetrated. And always, the materials they are made of are found on Earth. They always will be.

The artifacts brought home from the Roswell crash by Major Marcel and witnessed by his son are described as being exceptionally light and strong. Foil like substances are described as being impervious to cutting tools and return to their shape when crumpled. It would be wonderful to see an analysis of these materials but any analysis that may exist is hidden in Army or Air Force archives. Nevertheless, I expect they are composed of elements found here on earth. The possibility of finding a material never before seen on this planet is unlikely.

All of the elements composing the Earth, The stars and planets, and even ourselves were forged in the heart of stars and launched across space in the explosion of super novas. These are the elements that compose all of the universe. They are the elements described in the periodic table. While new elements are still being discovered at Fermi and other institutions and more are expected to be found by the Large Hadron Collider these new elements lack the stability to survive decay more than a few milliseconds. The elements composing the alloys used in construction of an extraterrestrial; space ship must be stable. They must be elements found on Earth as well as every other part of the universe.

Recently Bill Birnes and his team of UFO Hunters searched the site at Aurora, Texas where a UFO was reported to have crashed on April 17, 1897. They found a significant amount of aluminum in the well where crash debris was reportedly dumped and on the surrounding land. Aluminum is an element. Today it is used extensively in the construction of aircraft. It was rare in the 19th century but it was being made. This aluminum could have been made on Earth or it could have been part of a space craft.

In his book Crash: When UFOs Fall From the Sky, Kevin Randle reports a case in South America of a witnessed explosion of a saucer. The debris found at the explosion site was magnesium. Another element commonly used on Earth in aircraft construction today. This magnesium was unusually pure and free of trace elements but it still was an element found on Earth. Magnesium, like all Earthly elements that make all of our materials, are also found in space.

What then will constitute scientific proof of UFOs? What is needed is an intact device or artifact from a UFO if not a complete space craft or a physical alien. Nothing else will provide sufficient proof.
