Welcome to the Coalition for Freedom of Information WI
Unexplained aerial phenomena, commonly known as UFOs, are real, not the stuff of SI
In the 1950's the Air Force defined them as ~any airborne object which by performanc
aerodynamic characteristiCS, or unusual features does not conform to any presently kr
or missile type, or which cannot be positively identified as a familiar object." There is I
of origin inherent in the meaning of the word "UFO." It simply means "unidentified."
Phenomena for which there is no scientific explanation have been observed in Amenc;
world'S) air space for over fifty-five years. Trained observers _. pilots, air traffic contre
operators. astronauts, military personnel, scientists -- and government agencies have
documented spectacular events visually, photographically, and on radar.
Most slghtings can be explained. Yet there is a consensus among most researchers th;
ten percent cannot be explained by natural or artificial causes . Furthermore, because
no ongoing independent, empirically based scientific research conducted on unidentific
phenomena, no one can explain with objectiVity or authOrity what they are.
The appearance of UFOs, particularly In the skies over the U.S., has created an intens,
the part of the public, researchers and, for many years, by the U.S. Government. Acc(
2002 Roper poll, 72% of Americans believe the federal government is not telling us e\
knows about unidentified flying objects, Many investigators believe that significant cia:
information is being withheld, in addition to phYSical evidence that should be studied t
In keeping with our society's belief in and commitment to open government, the Coall
Freedom of Information was formed in 2002. eFI Is an independent alliance whose ml!
achieve scientific, congreSSional, and media credibility for this often misunderstood su
effort hinges on the release of additional official information and the public's right to f1
the facts.
CFi's goals are to support a new research effort Into these phenomena and to seek Co
cooperation in sponsoring hearings and government Inquiries. CFi seeks to bring toge!
credible, qualified experts and observers who have both studied and been exposed to
phenomenon and who believe It to be worthy of further investigation . The media play!
in faCilitating this process through responsible and serious reporting.
In this site you will find highlights of compelling evidence and testimony on the pheno
past fifty-five years. You can also read the presentations of a panel of scientists who a
ground breaking symposium at The George Washington University In Washington, D.C.
have posted material on our Investigation using the Freedom of Information Act and ~
interviews Into an unsolved 1965 case in Kecksburg, PA. And, you will find some of thl
stories from recent years, along with coverage of CFi's campaign and the results of a I
poll. last but not least, you will discover ways that you can become involved in this ef
