Request for Assistance

UFORCOP is seeking assistance in expanding its database of ritualistic incidents, requesting information on Ritualistic Crimes, personal accounts of cult encounters, animal or human sacrifice, and suspected ritual grounds. All information provided is strictly confidential. They are also looking for reports of mysterious lights or UFO sightings near Nuclear Power Plants, Military Bases, or Airport Facilities, as well as information on Creature Sightings in specific areas of Clearfield County and Penfield. Reports of paranormal activity in or around Indian Burial Grounds or areas where Indigenous peoples encamped are also sought, along with detailed maps. Furthermore, UFORCOP is requesting photographs of Military Trucks and Equipment related to the Kecksburg / Fireball Incident of December 9, 1965. The organization is also seeking seasoned independent researchers to join the UFORCOP CCU.

"Sky Watch" and "End the Truth Embargo!"

The "SKY WATCH" section encourages readers to keep their eyes on the sky and provides the website www.UFORCOP.com for filing sightings reports. A prominent quote, "IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT LIGHTS IN THE SKY; IT'S ABOUT LIES ON THE GROUND," with the tagline "END THE TRUTH EMBARGO!" and "ENDING UFO CENSORSHIP WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING // SEEK THE TRUTH," is featured, emphasizing a belief in government censorship and the need for transparency. The quote is followed by a list of areas of focus: RELIGION, SCIENCE, POLITICS, LAW, MEDIA, GOVERNMENT, ACADEMIA, THE MILITARY, and WORLD CULTURE.

Another quote, "WHEN ALL THE EVIDENCE SAYS IT IS TRUE AND NONE SAYS IT IS FALSE, IT IS TRUE," is attributed to Butch Witkowski, FFSC., Director of the UFO Research Center of Pennsylvania and Member of the Institute of Frontier Science.
