UFOROM is not open to general public membership. However, independent investigators and researchers throughout North America and particularly in Canada are associated with UFOROM by way of their contributions of case information and data from their own areas. Such contributions are welcomed and readily acknowledged by UFOROM.
Although UFOROM does not publish a journal or newsletter for general distribution, associates frequently exchange information on an informal basis. This information is made available through articles and reports published in UFO magazines or books, written or edited by UFOROM associates.
UFOROM is associated with an irregular ufozine titled the SWAMP GAS JOURNAL, which has been published since 1978. It is currently in hiatus.
UFOROM associates are involved with the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS), the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) and various other organisations. UFOROM functions independently, but operates with an understanding of complete co-operation and information exchange with interested and serious researchers in their specialised areas of interest.
UFOROM is devoted to the rational and objective study of UFOs and related phenomena, as well as other controversial phenomena such as crop circles. All views on these phenomena, including both proponent and contrary standpoints, are considered. In this regard, UFOROM associates tend to engage in dialogue with both "believers" and "debunkers". It is hoped that such attempts to "bridge the gap" between the two sides of the debate will encourage more constructive discourse.

As I pore over the growing pile of UFO reports for 2003, I realize that I am a bit behind in adding the data for the 2003 Annual Canadian UFO Survey. At this time last year, it was obvious that there were many more reports than the year before, and it was a good predictor of how we would do by the end of the year. In fact, we were up by a significant percent. As it stands now, however, without actually having entered many in the pile, I would say that we will be at or near the same number of cases as 2002. In other words, the number of sightings is still up, but not climbing further at this time. But of course, this is only a guess!
