NUFORC

147,890 UFO sightings from NUFORC, scraped on January 16, 2024.

The best representation of the data is nuforc.json, but I also converted this to .csv files.

Each .csv has a different approach to the "Characteristics" column:

nuforc_str.csv has a "Characteristics" column that looks like this: "Aircraft nearby, Animals reacted"
nuforc_list.csv has a "Characteristics" column that look like: "['Aircraft nearby', 'Animals reacted']"
nuforc_bool.csv has one column for each characteristic, with values as True or null (empty).

Note that while this is a crowdsourced database compiled from the reports of hundreds of thousands of individuals, NUFORC also claims copyright over the reports with invisible text at the bottom of every page reading "© 2023 National UFO Reporting Center. All rights reserved. Use or reproduction within any application without written consent is prohibited." So while I have licensed this repository as MIT, the true license may actually be significantly more restrictive. For more information you might try contacting NUFORC at webmaster@ufocenter.com
