Plans for the first-ever physical site for gathering historical UFO information in the United States have been revealed, in what has been seen as a groundbreaking move by many followers of the subject, reports walesonline.co.uk.
In recent years, there have been successive U.S. government disclosures acknowledging the UFO/UAP subject as a genuine phenomenon. Subsequently, multiple U.S. military, intelligence, and scientific agencies have started adopting programs to study the subject such as NASA and the AIAA.
In addition, within the civilian sector, there has been an influx of new researchers into this field of inquiry. Many academics and scientists are included in this group.
However, most of these parties do not have access to the vast array of historical materials and data sets in the hands of civilian U.S. UFO/UAP historians and researchers.
In conjunction with this new-found respectability regarding the UFO/UAP subject is the growing need to create more space for these historic materials.
Enter David Marler, a pioneering UFO researcher who has plans in motion to set up a new facility – the National UFO Historical Records Center – at a site in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
With the goal of preserving and archiving anything and everything related to the topic of UFOs, the center would make it possible for anyone to easily acquire the information they need.
“In recent years, there have been successive US government disclosures acknowledging the UFO/UAP subject as a genuine phenomenon,” he said.
“In addition, within the civilian sector, there has been an influx of new researchers into this field of inquiry. Many academics and scientists are included in this group.”
“However, most of these parties do not have access to the vast array of historical materials and data sets in the hands of US civilian UFO/UAP historians and researchers. So, the National UFO Historical Records Center has been created to gather and centralize data in the United States.”
The facility’s future will be determined by a variety of variables, not the least of which is the accessibility of suitable finance.
But if it works, it will be a significant advance in the study of UFOs.
