45 hours of phone reports to the National UFO Reporting Center from the 1970s. Possibly a repost, but amazing stuff for researchers.

I've been listening to countless hours of UFO reports phoned in to the National UFO Reporting Center during the '70s. I just finished 1977, which is about 15 hours of audio. There are about 45 total hours of calls, and they are very very compelling.

I'm actually really blown away how many well-documented multiple-witness accounts there have been. Pilots, military officers, air traffic controllers, police... amazing information that anyone interested in UFOs should review.

There are those who refuse to call witness testimony 'proof', and I personally think that this can be a very foolish conclusion to come to. I didn't hear a single witness in those reports who wasn't dead serious about what they saw, and I find the idea that they are just 'attention-seekers' absolutely ridiculous. These people were all very reluctant to be calling, and were both embarrassed and fearful of being seen as crazy thanks to years of ridicule from our society.

I can only guess that the people who dismiss these eyewitness reports as non-evidence are just really bad at understanding people's motives and at understanding human behavior in general.

You will hear some amazing hallmarks of valid accounts: fear, confusion, the desire to know if anyone else saw the UFO; immediate responses to pointed questions without any hesitation, the strong desire to get answers, and weirdest of all, their confusion about why nobody in government or military institutions has any interest at all in hearing about these sightings. Every single caller had basically been dumped on the NUFORC, and Robert Gribble just takes it all in stride and tries to reassure them. Absolutely fascinating!
