REPORT A SIGHTING WITHOUT PHOTO/VIDEO
IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR PEOPLE SENDING IN SIGHTINGS, PHOTOGRAPHS AND VIDEO FOOTAGE OVER CHRISTMAS WEEK.
Please do not send completed sighting forms in to BUFORA from Saturday, 20th December 2025 to Monday 29th December 2025. Our volunteer investigators and imaging analyst are taking a well deserved Christmas break during these dates.
Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Heather Dixon
BUFORA National Investigations
As a very busy voluntary organisation, BUFORA would appreciate it if all members of the public reporting a sighting without photograph or video footage, please complete, in detail, the BUFORA sighting form found below.
In addition, please do not just complete the form on the contact page for sighting reports, because you will always be asked to complete the online BUFORA sighting form.
Thank you
The British UFO Research Association is dedicated to the scientific study of the UFO phenomenon. All BUFORA investigators are bound by a strict code of practice, which requires them to conduct all investigations in a professional manner and to respect the anonymity of the witness. A copy of the code can be obtained on request from your BUFORA investigator.
If there is more than one witness to the same sighting, please complete the sighting report form below individually, rather than attempt to merge two or more accounts together of the same incident.
The two diagrams below are to be used as a reference for your answers in the relevant indicated sections in the sighting report form. If you would prefer a paper form, this can be emailed to you by contacting us or Heather Dixon via the contacts page.
