The National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC, nuforc.org) is the oldest and largest continuously operating civilian UAP reporting database in the United States. Founded in 1974 by Seattle firefighter Robert J. Gribble, now directed by Peter Davenport. OPERATIONAL DETAIL: In 2006, NUFORC relocated from Seattle to a former Atlas nuclear missile site approximately 50 miles west of Spokane, Washington. The Atlas ICBM program was the United States’ first operational intercontinental ballistic missile. NUFORC’s physical infrastructure — the civilian UAP archive — literally occupies a decommissioned nuclear weapons facility. The UAP-nuclear pattern lives in the building itself. SCALE: NUFORC holds approximately 170,000+ total case records, with ~150,000 publicly accessible — searchable by date, state, and object shape. AARO’s total caseload is 2,000+. NUFORC’s civilian dataset is roughly 70 times larger than the Pentagon’s official database. OFFICIAL RECOGNITION: In August 2025, NUFORC participated in the “2025 UAP Workshop: Narrative Data, Infrastructures, and Analysis” in Washington, DC — officially sponsored by AARO and hosted by Associated Universities, Inc. The Pentagon’s official UAP investigative body formally engaged with NUFORC’s civilian database. GEOGRAPHICAL FINDINGS: California (especially West Coast), Florida, Washington State, Pennsylvania, and Texas are consistent hotspots. Nevada is disproportionately high relative to population — proximity to military test ranges. Reports span back to 1960 recollections. The archive adds hundreds to thousands of new reports per month.
