| 147,890 UFO sightings from [NUFORC](https://nuforc.org/), 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 | |
