Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn't my UFO sighting published yet?
We generally receive over a hundred sighting reports a week. Not all reports are accepted, those that are rejected are generally due to either insufficient information or exceptionally poor grammar. We try to add approved sighting reports within 72 hours.
Will you tell me if my sighting report is accepted or rejected?
We do try but unfortunately due to our limited resources we are unable to guarantee that a confirmation email will be sent on every occasion. The best thing to do is use the search facility on the site to see if your report is listed. Please note that if your sighting is of orange light(s) then there is good chance that it may not have been added as a unique sighting report but logged as comment with in one of volumes of that months "Orange Lighting Sighting Reports"
Failing all that send an email to sightings@uk-ufo.co.uk and ask the question.
