Does MUFON operate overseas?
Indeed we do! Apart from our chapters in the provinces of Canada and the states of Mexico and Australia, in alphabetical order MUFON has representatives in: Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Chile, China, Cyprus, Finland, France, Great Britain, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Malta, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Paraguay, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, and Zimbabwe. Many MUFON foreign representatives lead UFO research groups within their own countries and share the information. We utilize the talents of multilingual members for translations as needed. Years before the Soviet Union dissolved, tentative contacts had been established with UFO researchers there. Now their databases are unlocked and show great similarities to the American experience in the numbers, types, and circumstances of UFO encounters.
