The Mutual UFO Network began in the 1960s in the midwest and has grown to encompass an international field of professionals and lay people alike who strive to present scientifically the nature and existence of unidentified flying objects and aerial anomalies. There are MUFON Chapters in almost all 50 states, as well as Canada, Australia, Eurpoe, Japan, Mexico and South America.
