What are UFO Clubs?

In England, a popular short-lived club for UFO's was organized in the early 1960s. This group was composed of people who have claimed that they have encountered sightings and have been abducted by aliens. John Hopkins founded the club but the authorities pressured him because the club was accused of selling drugs to its customers. The club moved to a different location but the popularity subsided. Many UFO clubs encountered the same problems and they ended up bankrupt and eventually closed in 1967.

There are also longstanding groups and publishing firms that promote the existence of these extraterrestrials. They write about close encounters and sightings from claimers that have experienced the phenomenon. UFO publishers contend that there is a valuable market in writing about UFOs. However, most publishers lack evidence to support their writings and they end up making their readers more speculative rather than being convinced to the testimonies of those people claiming encounters with UFOs.

There are also investigating groups that pursue their research about UFOs. There was the National Investigation Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), which was based in Washington D.C. that documents reports and searches for physical evidence about extraterrestrials and other unknown life forms. Some people from the early 1960s were aware on the context and consistency of the reports because there were credible sources from the U.S Air Force, scientists, and professional pilots.

When the investigating body released the UFO evidence document in 1964, it became a hot subject all over the media and got serious attention from the U.S. government. Two years passed and the reports of encounters and sightings increased. The U.S. Congress passed a bill to launch the Air Force UFO project. The project was launched to investigate and gather evidence about UFOs.

On the other hand, most people wouldn't agree on the speculative evidence that was gathered. That is because most of the evidence was only skeptical and came from testimonies of claimers that were abducted. NICAP contended that there were serious evidence from credible witnesses that were concrete and strong documentation on the patterns and formats of the sightings. Despite these documentations, scientists and authorities insisted that they were only theories and too controversial to consider them as factual.

There are many differences in the society of today compared to the 1960s, where people payed close attention to exclusive reports especially when there were phenomenon and sightings. Many organizations, clubs, and groups still exist today believing that there are things that await the world for a more convincing encounter with UFOs.
