History
In 1991, Major Patrick Wall wrote an UFO encyclopedia specifically for this organization [4] .
BUFORA investigates over 400 UFO cases per year. 95% of them are false [5] . The organization also creates special support groups for those who believe that they have encountered aliens [5] . The organization has held annual conferences since 1987 [2] and regularly meets throughout the country, as well as in the Randlsham Forest , which is a frequent gathering place for ufologists [6] . The organization openly criticized the British Government's Freedom of Information Act, in particular regarding UFOs [7] .
