// 04 · FAQ

Common questions.

Is UFOMAP free?+

Yes. All 746,637 sightings are searchable and the full map is browsable for free. Pro ($12.99/year) unlocks exports, advanced visualizations, timeline animation, and a deeper analytics dashboard for power users and researchers.

Where does the data come from?+

Five public databases: NUFORC, UFOCAT, MUFON, UPDB, and UFO-search. We do not collect new reports — file those directly with NUFORC or MUFON. We unify, geocode, and make existing data discoverable.

Why are some sightings missing descriptions?+

About 50% of records are coordinates-only (typically MUFON, UPDB, and UFO-search) because the original sources didn't publish full text or require paid membership for it. The other ~373k records have full witness narratives.

Can I report a UFO sighting on UFOMAP?+

Not directly — file with NUFORC at nuforc.org/report-a-ufo. We pull from their database, so your report will appear here within ~30 days.

Do you share my data with the government?+

No. UFOMAP doesn't collect personal data beyond standard analytics. Sightings displayed are already public records from the source databases.

What about Bigfoot, Missing 411, and Charley Project?+

Companion datasets we overlay on the same map. Bigfoot data from BFRO, Missing 411 cluster locations from David Paulides' research, missing persons cases from charleyproject.org. Toggle them on in the map's Layers panel.

How is this different from NUFORC's own map?+

NUFORC shows ~193k of their own reports. UFOMAP shows 746k from five sources unified, with full-text search, decade-aware filtering, hex grids, time animation, and overlays for Bigfoot/Missing 411/etc.

Who built this?+
