Other UFO Organizations
And How to Contact Them
The UFO Coalition
The UFO Coalition is a collaborative effort by the three main UFO
investigative organizations in this country. Its goal is to share personnel
and other research resources, and to fund and promote the scientific
study of the UFO phenomenon. The coalition's members are MUFON,
CUFOS and FUFOR, the Fund for UFO Research.
MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network, headquartered in Seguin,
Texas, is the oldest and largest of the three groups. Established in
1969, it now has more than 5000 members, field investigators and
research consultants worldwide. It publishes the monthly MUFON
UFO Journal (Dennis Stacy, editor) and an annual collection of
Symposium Proceedings. Membership dues of $30 per year include
a subscription to the Journal. Walter Andrus, Jr., is the
international director. MUFON is located at 103 Oldtowne Rd.,
Seguin, Texas 78155-4099.
CUFOS, the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies, was founded
in 1973 in suburban Chicago, where its co-founder, the late Dr. J.
Allen Hynek, was a professor of astronomy at Northwestern
University. CUFOS publishes the quarterly International UFO
Reporter (Jerome Clark, editor), the annual, refereed, Journal of
UFO Studies, and the occasional monograph and book. Annual
membership dues are $25 and include a subscription to IUR. The
current scientific director is Dr. Mark Rodeghier. CUFOS is located
at 2457 West Peterson Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60659.
IUR, the International UFO Reporter, edited by
Jerome Clark, is published four times a year by the J. Allen
Hynek Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS), 2457 West Peterson
Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60659. Each issue consists of 32 pages.
Subscriptions, which include Associate Membership in CUFOS,
are available for $25 per year.
FUFOR, the Fund for UFO Research, was established as a nonprofit
corporation in the District of Columbia on August 1, 1979. FUFOR is
not a membership organization per se. Instead, it raises and
disperses research funds for proposals approved by a national
board. Each year, the Fund also awards a cash prize, the Donald E.
Keyhoe Journalism Award, to both the print and electronic media
journalist whose work about UFOs is judged the best among those
submitted. FUFOR also issues a number of reports and monographs
each year, the sales of which support future UFO research
projects. For further information, or an application for the Fund's
journalism award, write the Fund for UFO Research, PO Box 227,
Mount Rainier, Maryland 20712.
Other U. S. and International UFO Organizations and Publications
A detailed and comprehensive list of other UFO organizations and
publications would be almost impossible. Interested parties should
contact the following for specific information about any regular
activities, local lectures, membership dues, subscription fees, methods
of payment and so on, where not specifically mentioned. This list will be
added to and corrected as needed. Publications and organizations are
in no particular order at this time. Listing does not necessarily entail
endorsement by the Mutual UFO Network or its Board of Directors.
