Organization

The Resume

    (May 30, 1969- )
    Born in Quincy, Illinois
    Mutual UFO Network
    Is defined on its website as 'a non-profit corporation dedicated, through its volunteers, to resolving the scientific enigma known collectively as unidentified flying objects (UFOs)'
    Publishes the monthly 'MUFON UFO JOURNAL' and the annual 'International UFO Symposium'
    Primary purpose is to physically investigate UFO sightings
    Headquartered in Greeley, Colorado

Why they might be annoying:

    Early in their history, they clashed with other groups investigating UFO's over turf and authority issues.
    Not surprisingly some of their members are a little out of there.
    The mainstream scientific community is very dismissive of them and they have almost no real scientists in their organization as members or on their board of directors.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They are the largest organization in the world dedicated to UFO research with chapters in 38 states, over 30 countries, and with over 3,000 members worldwide.
    Their investigators are well trained and they employ outside experts as consultants when necessary.
    They don't have an official explanation of what they think UFOs ultimately are.
    They aren't after your money and receive no government funds.
    As an organization it is very technologically savvy, has an excellent website and cleverly uses various media to spread its message including the internet, radio and television, and even ham radio.
    They now emphasize cooperation with other similar organizations.
