The Mutual UFO Network, Inc. is an international scientific organization composed of people seriously interested
in studying and researching the phenomenon known as unidentified flying objects (UFOs) by combining their mutual
talents, areas of expertise and investigative efforts. MUFON is the acronym for the Mutual UFO Network, Inc.,
a Texas nonprofit corporation, exempt from Federal Income Tax under Section 501(c)(3) and a publicly supported
organization of the type described in Section 509(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. MUFON firmly believes that
a concentrated scientific study by dedicated investigators and researchers will provide the ultimate answer to the
UFO enigma.
Founded on May 31, 1969, MUFON’s phenomenal success may be attributed to the “grass roots” nature of the
organization where a majority of the leadership and motivation is achieved at the local level. In North America,
a State or Provincial Director oversees the investigative activities of the Field Investigators through State Section
Directors. An International Coordinator and seven Continental Coordinators work with the Foreign Representatives
and National Directors in each country on the international scene. MUFON is Governed by a Board of Directors
composed of 17 men and women and administered by an Executive Committee.
MUEFON’s Board of Consultants, most whom are PhDs or MDs representing 45 areas of science, technology,
medicine, psychiatry, psychology, theology, engineering, astronomy, communications, political science, photo
analysis, etc., are readily available as an advisory group to apply their expertise to UFO cases under study and
to conduct advanced research in their respective field.
Starting in 1970, MUFON has sponsored an Annual Internation! UFO Symposium where world known scien-
tists, engineers, university professors, and authors lecture on their particular specialization or contributions to
resolving this perplexing scientific dilemma. To provide a permanent record of the presentations, the copyrighted
symposium proceedings are published annually for worldwide distribution.
In order that only qualified, competent and sincere people may become involved, membership in MUFON is
by invitation only. Anyone interested in helping to resolve the UFO phenomenon is invited to join by submitting
a membership application and appropriate dues for approval. Based upon their education and experience, members
may serve in one or more of the following positions: Consultant, State or Provincial Director, State Section Direc-
tor, Foreign Representative, Field Investigator, Research Specialist, Amateur Radio Operator, Astronomy, Field
Investigator Trainee, Translator, UFO News Clipping Service, Contributing Subscriber, or Associate Member (under
18 years of age).
Field Investigators are trained and high standards of professionalism are required by MUFON. As objective,
scientific researchers, MUFON Field Investigators uphold the confidentiality of witnesses and case information.
Investigators are volunteers who conduct research at their own expense, and attempt to document sighting infor-
mation in a thorough and unbiased manner. The third edition of the copyrighted “MUFON Field Investigator’s
Manual.” published in 1983, provides effective guidelines, techniques and suggestions to members conducting UFO
sighting interviews and investigations.
Amateur Radio Networks, operating weekly, are utilized to receive and disseminate UFO sighting reports and
current UFO information. The exact date, time, and frequencies are published in the MUFON UFO JOURNAL.
A master file, containing all submitted UFO sighting reports, arranged chronologically by state, province, and
country, is maintained in the MUFON administrative offices.
A twenty-page monthly magazine, the MUFON UFO JOURNAL is our most significant means of sharing details
of UFO sighting reports and vital information related to the UFO phenomenon with our members throughout
the world. A subscription to the Journal is included in the annual membership dues of $25.00 in the U.S.A. and
$30.00 in foreign countries in U.S. funds.
