What are UFOs? New Study Aims to Find Out

The group is called "UFODATA" – short for UFO Detection And TrAcking – and is based on building a network of automated surveillance stations with high-tech sensors for gathering scientific data on sightings of alleged UFOs. The aim is to move toward a scientific solution to the UFO reports by implementing an effort to gather systematic instrumented observations. UFODATA stations would measure anything unusual that comes within their range.
