NIDS is initiating a new policy of posting selected eyewitness summaries on our website. The summaries will be supplemented with new cases on a regular basis. The purpose is to give the public a broader idea of the kinds of cases we receive through our 24-hour UFO hotline (702-798-1700)
and our on-line report form (www.nidsci.org/reportform.php).
NIDS has a full time staff of scientists and professional investigators
who review all new cases submitted. Investigative resources are allocated
based on multiple criteria that include number of witnesses, assessed
quality of testimony, credibility of eyewitnesses, physical evidence
etc. Further, posting our online summaries may lead to corroborating
testimony from previously unknown witnesses to certain events.
In the Research News section of our website, you will find our research
reports concerning “major case” investigations. This Summaries page
will contain those cases deemed less significant, but certainly not
insignificant. NIDS is able to conduct statistical analysis by virtue
of ALL the sighting events that are reported to us; consequently, the
better reporting we have, the more thorough research we can conduct.
In all cases possible, we use the witness’s own words to describe his
or her experience. Many summaries are gained through our online reporting
form; other summaries have been written by NIDS investigators following
personal or telephone interviews.
These summaries are sorted according to the state or country in which
the sighting took place. If you have reported a sighting to NIDS and
don’t see your summary, be patient; our case load is large. Our online
reporting form is not sent directly to this section of our website,
each summary is reviewed and edited, but only to remove identifying
information that may be contained there. NIDS takes confidentiality
concerns very seriously.
If you would like to make a report or if you have any questions about
these summaries, please let us know. Be advised, however, that we do
not divulge the identities of any reporting witness.
