UFORCOP Operations and Research Focus

UFORCOP operates with two fully equipped mobile units stationed in Eastern and Western Pennsylvania, enabling rapid response to reports within a few hours. The organization is actively seeking information regarding Mothman sightings specifically in the Lancaster County area, directing interested individuals to contact [email protected] or Lon Strickler at phantomsandmonsters.com.

Reporting an Event

Individuals wishing to report a UFO, strange creature, or paranormal event are instructed to send an email or use the contact form on the UFORCOP website. They are asked to provide comprehensive details, including their name, contact phone number or email, date and time of the event, precise location (city, county, state), a brief description of the sighting, the number of witnesses, the proximity to the object, its shape or appearance, and any attached photos, drawings, video, or EVP recordings. All submitted information is treated as strictly confidential.

Contact Information and Researchers

The newsletter provides a list of contact emails for researchers across various regions and affiliations, including Pennsylvania, Florida, Missouri, Poland, Georgia, Northeast Florida, Oklahoma, Northern California, Utah, Michigan, and the UFO Research Group, UK. These contacts are for reporting purposes and follow-up inquiries.

Featured Content

In the News

Skyfire Summit

The Skyfire Summit is announced, scheduled to begin on November 7th and run through November 9th in Heber/Overgaard, Arizona, with a website provided for more information.

Crypto: PA Cougars

A personal anecdote is shared about an encounter with a cougar near Downingtown, Pennsylvania. The story details a farmer shooting what he believed to be a dog, only to discover it was a cougar, which he then buried. Subsequently, a game commission officer inquired about cougar sightings, mentioning that tagged cougars were present in the area. The narrative questions the Game Commission's stance on cougars in Pennsylvania, suggesting they might be releasing them to manage the deer herd, which is linked to economic benefits from hunting and certified trees.

Crypto-Zoology Information in Pennsylvania

UFORCOP is seeking information on sightings of Panthers, Mountain lions, Cougars, Thunderbirds, Large Snakes, Strange Creatures, and Bigfoot within Pennsylvania. Contact details for researchers are provided for submitting such information. A quote emphasizes that "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof that they are true." The newsletter lists the most reported creatures in Pennsylvania (Cougar, Coyote, Wolf, Bear, Bald Eagle, Blue Heron) and the least reported (Bigfoot, Thunderbirds). It also notes that there were no Bigfoot & Creature Reports in Pennsylvania in 2013 and no verifiable reports of Cattle Mutilation in the state.

Pennsylvania Legends

The "Pennsylvania Legends" section recounts the discovery of seven-foot-tall humanoid skeletons with horns in the Sayre burial mounds in the 1880s. These remains, estimated to date back to 1200 A.D., were reportedly examined by a Pennsylvania State Historian, a Presbyterian dignitary, and professors. Some skeletons were allegedly sent to the American Investigating Museum in Philadelphia and were later reported stolen or misplaced.

Journal of Abnormal Abduction Research (J.A.A.R.)

The newsletter promotes the "JOURNAL OF ABNORMAL ABDUCTION RESEARCH" (J.A.A.R.), encouraging readers to visit its webpage for more details.

UFORCOP: Cold Case Unit

They are investigating several cases, including the Todd Sees Case (Northumberland, PA), the Kecksburg Incident (Kecksburg, PA), the Brown Mountain Lights (Morganton, NC), the Dyatlov Pass Incident (Dyatlov Pass, RU), and Strange Creatures in Westmoreland County, PA. The unit notes that many questions remain unanswered regarding timelines, evidence, and witness statements, suggesting inconsistencies in reporting. They invite individuals with pertinent information on these cases to contact [email protected].

Information regarding Cattle Mutilations and UFO activity in Oklahoma should be sent to William Hood at [email protected]. Additionally, UFORCOP is looking for reports of paranormal activity in or around Indian Burial Grounds or areas where Indigenous peoples encamped in Pennsylvania, requesting detailed maps and activity reports.
