Scientific Review Board

In support of MUFON's mission for the scientific study of UFOs, the Executive Director along with the Board of Directors has approved the formation of a Science Review Board (SRB) that reports directly to the Executive Director. This is an exciting time for MUFON as we take action to advance our scientific knowledge into the study of UFOs.

The SRB consists of nine scientists whose backgrounds are distributed across these branches:

Biology
Chemistry
Geology
Engineering
Physics
Statistics
Computer Science
Astronomy
