UFO Research Center of Pennsylvania Activities

The UFO Research Center of Pennsylvania (UFORCOP) conducts research on UFO phenomena, paranormal events, and crypto-zoology, including Alien Abduction cases. They emphasize that they do not comment on the investigative or research results of other groups. UFORCOP operates two fully equipped mobile units stationed in Eastern and Western Pennsylvania, enabling them to respond to reports within a few hours. They announce that UFORCOP Mobile Units will be in different areas of Pennsylvania during the summer for research on UFOs, Cryptids, and the Paranormal, with locations and dates to be posted on their blog.

Reporting an Incident

Individuals are encouraged to report UFOs, strange creatures, or paranormal events by sending an email to one of the listed researchers or using the contact form on the UFORCOP website. Key information to include comprises: name, contact phone number or email, date and time of the event, event location (city, county, state), a brief description of the sighting, number of witnesses, proximity to the object, object's shape or appearance, and any attached photos, drawings, video, or EVP recordings. All submitted information is strictly confidential.

Featured Content

This issue features "Evolutionary UFOLOGY" by Jordan Hofer as the "Featured Book of the Month" and "GHOSTHUNTERSINC.NET" as the "Featured Site of the Month".

Group Update and Cold Case Unit

The newsletter mentions the Ambient Monitoring Program (AMP), a scientific research project previously supported by MUFON and the UFO Research Coalition (URC), which concluded in 2008. The "Cold Case Unit" of UFORCOP is actively reopening and reviewing unsolved cases in Ufology, Crypto Zoology, and the Paranormal. Cases of interest include the Todd Sees Case (Northumberland, PA), the Kecksburg Incident (Kecksburg, PA), the Brown Mountain Lights (Morganton, NC), the Dyatlov Pass Incident (Dyaltov Pass, RU), and Strange Creatures in Westmoreland County, PA. They seek pertinent information on these cases.

Pennsylvania Legends and Paranormal Tips

A section on "Pennsylvania Legends" describes the "Kafoofus," a supernatural being believed to inhabit caves in Central and Western PA, characterized by its humanoid appearance, fur, and a distinctive "Ka-foo-fus" sound. "Paranormal Tips - Hotspots" discusses how haunted locations often have specific "hot spots" where phenomena are repeatedly witnessed, suggesting unique properties of these areas.

Crypto-Zoology Information

Information is sought regarding sightings of Panthers, Mountain lions, Cougars, Thunderbirds, Large Snakes, Strange Creatures, and Bigfoot in Pennsylvania. Researchers like [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] are listed for contact. The most reported creatures in Pennsylvania are Cougar, Coyote, Wolf, Bear, Bald Eagle, and Blue Heron, while Bigfoot and Thunderbirds are the least reported. Notably, there were no Bigfoot or Creature reports in Pennsylvania in 2013, and no verified reports of Cattle Mutilation in the state.

Request for Assistance

UFORCOP is requesting assistance with ongoing research into cult activity, seeking information on ritualistic crimes, personal accounts of cult encounters, animal or human sacrifice, and suspected ritual grounds. They are also looking for reports of mysterious lights or UFO sightings near Nuclear Power Plants, Military Bases, or Airport Facilities. Information on Cattle Mutilations and UFO activity in Oklahoma can be sent to their Oklahoma UFO Research Group. Additionally, they seek reports of paranormal activity in or around Indian Burial Grounds or areas where Indigenous peoples encamped in Pennsylvania, along with detailed maps. Photographs of Military Trucks and Equipment from the Kecksburg / Fireball Incident of December 9, 1965, are also requested. The organization is also seeking seasoned independent researchers to join their Cold Case Unit.
