Something is amiss with the site here. I click on the spot to pull up the last 20 reports and get a form to report a sighting. That never happened before!

The UFO stalker map hasn't been updated either. It looks exactly the same as it did yesterday. I think I remember somebody saying that they were getting ready to create a new website. Maybe they are in the process of changing it over? That's just a guess though.

Anyone know when the new site or last 20 reports are going to be accessible again?

I don't have a clue. MUFON isn't very good about releasing information. They just do things and we don't find out about it until after it's already been done.

Still no luck on the website. LOL. Just wondering if you would mind taking a look at this pic? I don't even know if I can get it to post. We took this picture in Jan 2011 near Superstition Mountains, AZ. Look at the firey thing above my head? Attachments:

It looks to me like it is probably caused by glare from the sun. Things like that happen a lot when taking pictures in bright sunlight, and in your photo the sunlight is almost directly behind you shining at the camera. Here is a link to an interesting article that gives a little more detail about this type of thing. Read part 6. theedgeofreality.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=ifos&action=display&thread=1065Of course I'm just taking a wild guess.

I could not find anything about the link leading to the wrong page. last 20 comes up as a sighting report form. Any idea on when this will be fixed?

I'm wondering that too. The website hasn't been updated since the 27th. As far as I know nobody from MUFON has responded to any of the questions about it.

I am wondering if someone "hacked" into the site? Here in California, we hear about that all the time. In fact, there was just a "hackers" convention here where the FBI went (not to bust these people), but to hire them!
I hope the "Last 20" works again soon.

Most of the MUFON board members are ex-government people...either military, FBI, NSA or whatever. I doubt that anybody could hack into their system. I think if anything MUFON would be the hackers rather than the hackees.

Webmaster has not responded to two emails I sent. They seem to have really clammed up over last couple weeks.
I also noticed the reports posted to NUFORC haven't been updated since 7/17/2011, but will be done soon according to Peter Davenport. Coincidence?

I think Peter is always a little bit behind because he is doing everything himself.

Is there also a coincidence that this seem to have started since some channels on TV have been airing "UFO/ALIEN" shows featuring MUFON investigators & STAR members non-stop? Are they trying to maybe decrease some of the exposure that MUFON has brought on unintentionally?

Hmm...I don't know about that. I would think that exposure would mean more money coming in from donors. The more exposure the more money, so MUFON should theoretically be wanting public exposure, unless they have something to hide.
