[edit] Rules?

We need to establish some rules for what types of UFO organizations can be listed here, what types of UFO organizations should get their own pages, etc. Do we want this to be a comprehensive guide to past and present UFO organizations or just a list of the "well known" ones, only active ones, or what? I wouldn't want anymore time and research to be wasted. -SeanFromIT 15:45, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Both active and inactive (must include references if no wiki-article or website on them is available) can be included here, and if the list gets to big for an country, we can create a separate wiki-article just for that country (:O) -Nima Baghaei talk · cont · email 15:30, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-linked/Non-referenced

Any non-linked and non-referenced organizations have been moved here (look below) until someone can show these organizations did/do exist (:O) -Nima Baghaei talk · cont · email 15:58, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

* [[MidOhio Research Associates]] (MORA)
* [[Australian International UFO Flying Saucer Research]] (AIUFOFSR)

===== Germany =====
* A.A.S. ([[Forschungsgesellschaft für Archäologie, Astronautik und SETI]], German-speaking equivalent to the ''Ancient Astronaut Society'', [[Archaeology, Astronautics and SETI Research Association]], concerned with the theories of [[Erich von Däniken]]
* CENAP ([[Centrales Erforschungsnetz außergewöhnlicher Himmelsphänomene]] (Central network for the investigation of extraordinary aerial phenomena, est. 1976)
* DUIST ([[Deutsche UFO/IFO-Studiengesellschaft]] e.V. (German UFO/IFO study group), est. 1956)
* GEP ([[Gesellschaft zur Erforschung des UFO-Phänomens]] e. V. (Society for the investigation of the UFO phenomenon), est. 1972)
* [[Gesellschaft für Anomalistik]] e.V. (Society for Anomalistics), est. 1999
* GWUP ([[Gesellschaft zur wissenschaftlichen Untersuchung von Parawissenschaften]] e.V. (Society für scientific investigation of parasciences), est. 1987) - German sceptic organization
* Gesellschaft zur Untersuchung von anomalen atmosphärischen und Radar-Erscheinungen, [[MUFON-CES]] e.V. (Society for the Scientific Investigation of Anomalous Atmospheric and Radar Phenomena - MUFON-CES Inc.), est. 1974 (German-speaking MUFON section)
  • MORA was referenced - Winter 2006 MUFON of Ohio Newsletter. Despite my contest, the article about the group was removed (twice). According to Bill Jones, Director of MUFON of Ohio, the group was a precursor of MUFON of Ohio - i.e. it influenced MUFON of Ohio. I consider this fact worthy enough of mention, but other Wikipedians disagree. Perhaps it should be merged into the MUFON page (which needs to have sections about each state chapter added anyways). —Preceding unsigned comment added by SeanFromIT (talk • contribs)
  • Merging it into MUFON page sounds good... I actually want to add it here to but we need a reference we can cite and/or a link; does mufon have a link to that news letter? If so lets add this one back onto the list with that reference, if not, do you know the specific information from that newletter so we can cite it?
