A team of scientists and other experts have set up UFODATA to seriously investigate Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) seen on Earth and beyond.
The www.ufodata.net website, which is seeking backing through crowd-funding websites, wants the subject to be taken seriously.
Mainstream scientists are involved in the Search for Intelligent Extraterrestrial Life Institute (SETI), with looks light years into the cosmos searching for any frequencies coming from alien technologies, but have historically been reluctant to embrace the issue of flying saucer and other UFO sightings.
This is now possible for the first time in the history of UFO research as a result of an unprecedented convergence of high resolution digital camera technologies, off-the shelf scientific instrumentation, powerful low-cost computing platforms, and ubiquitous high-speed internet access."
The website says: "Our goal is to exploit this technological convergence by building a large network of automated surveillance stations with sophisticated sensors that will monitor the skies 24/7 looking for aerial anomalies.
"After over two years of developing our ideas, making plans, and testing relevant technologies we are now ready to move into the next phase – a ‘proof of concept’ by developing our first working prototype of a fully functioning monitoring station."
