The organisation has around 1,000 members.[3] HistoryIn 1991, the book UFO Encyclopedia was compiled for the group by Major Sir Patrick Wall.[4] StatusBUFORA investigates over 400 cases a year, with the organisation reporting 95% of them as hoaxes.[5] They run witness support groups for those who believe they have encountered extra terrestrials.[5] The organisation has held an annual conference at Sheffield Hallam University since 1987[2] and hold meetings across the country; with Rendlesham Forest being a frequent spot for gatherings.[6] They have been outspoken critics of the UK government's Freedom of Information Act as it relates to UFOs.[7] ControversyAn entry in the UFO Encyclopedia, which was a sighting confirmed as genuine by BUFORA, was later found to be a hoax. The supposed contactee, who claimed to have seen a UFO hovering over the town of Warminster, admitted to the hoax in 1994.[8] In 1995, the group were the only official UFO organisation to endorse a film, purportedly by the US government, showing an alien autopsy at Roswell.[9] See also
