Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS)

The Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) is a privately funded, non-profit organization dedicated to the scientific study of unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Founded in 1973 by astronomer J. Allen Hynek, it aims to collect, analyze, and preserve data related to UFO sightings and phenomena, promoting a rigorous, evidence-based approach to a often-speculative field. CUFOS maintains extensive archives and continues to investigate reports from around the world.
