We Are Live! The UK UFO Database Has Officially Launched

After months of work, research, development, importing records, building tools and testing every part of the site, the UK UFO Database is officially live.

This project has been something I’ve wanted to build for a long time: a dedicated, searchable, easy-to-use archive of UFO and UAP reports from across the United Kingdom.

And now, it’s here.

What Is the UK UFO Database?

The UK UFO Database is a growing archive of reported UFO sightings from across the UK.

The aim is simple: to make these reports easier to preserve, search, explore and investigate.

Rather than having sightings scattered across old reports, websites, documents and archives, the database brings them together in one place with a consistent structure.

You can search by location, year, object shape and other details, explore sightings visually on the interactive map, open individual case files and discover reports from areas you may never have thought to investigate.

Explore Thousands of UK UFO Reports

The database already contains thousands of reported sightings, with more being added as the project continues to grow.
