Hatch UFO*DB
Larry Hatch’s independent global catalog, deduplicated against this site’s own case files. Summaries kept in the source’s own original shorthand.
Project Blue Book (NARA)
U.S. Air Force case files from the National Archives. Positions are geocoded from each file’s title, not surveyed sighting sites — hollow markers share their coordinate with other places (a state or area centroid), filled markers do not. Dates are month-precision only.

Roughly half of these records share a coordinate with other, differently-named places — effectively a state centroid rather than a point. Tick this to see only records whose coordinate belongs to one named place.
