	National Investigations Committee On Aerial Phenomena - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		NICAP was founded on October 24, 1956, by physicist Thomas Townsend Brown.
		NICAP publicly gave little attention to close encounters of the third kind (where animated beings are purportedly sighted in relation to a UFO).
		NICAP's archive of UFO sighting case files was subsequently purchased by the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS).

		NICAP approaches this problem with an open mind and seeks the co-operation of all who have something to contribute in the way of experience and reason.
		The aims and purposes of NICAP are to serve honestly and sincerely the public interest in searching out the facts pro and con, believing that knowledge of the truth, whatever it might be, serves to benefit humanity far more than the suppression of information.
		NICAP is sponsored by patriotic citizens whose sole interest is to work to the end that information concerning aerial phenomena to which citizens in a free democracy are entitled, be made available to them without restriction, except where it is plainly obvious that the release of such information would jeopardize the national defense.

		CDs are regularly copy-protected, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over NICAP, referends are banned by law and the Parliament has absolute control of the legislative process, and traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways.
		NICAP's national animal is the extraterrestrial, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the chips.
		NICAP is ranked 1st in the region and 20,733rd in the world for Safest Nations.

		NICAP has a membership of about 10,000; its annual membership fee of $5 giving it an operating budget of about $50,000 a year.
		NICAP has a two–fold purpose, to investigate and correlate UFO data and to bring about a congressional hearing on the Air Force’s handling of its UFO investigation.
		NICAP, with the hope of some day bringing about a congressional investigation, understandably is reluctant to become involved with this kind of sighting.

	The NICAP Organization (CohenUFO.org)
		NICAP felt that they had ample reason to believe that the Air Force might be hiding something and their ex-military personnel supported this view.
		NICAP was also the most well-organized and well-respected UFO group on the East coast and probably in the United States, until 1973 when CUFOS (Center for UFO Studies - Dr. J.
		NICAP rarely published "abduction" cases unless the case was nationally famous, had extremely strong merits and discussion could not be avoided.

	Extra-terrestrial intelligence or terrestrial intelligence agencies?
		The intent of NICAP was to bring a serious note into the UFO phenomenon, which was more like a gossip column than an instrument of scientific research.
		In short, the stories seem to be fabricated and as we are not confronted with two choir boys or charlatans, it suggests they were hiding their true motives; given their background, this would suggest an alliance with certain sections of the intelligence community.
		NICAP and other UFO organisation were players in the same game, controlled by the CIA puppet masters.

	SHG - McCarthy Dissertation: Chapter 2, Introduction
		In light of the NICAP efforts to obtain a Congressional probe of UFOs since the late 1950s McDonald's remarks to Udall suggest that he was not in tune with NICAP policy at this point.
		NICAP would not touch such cases, nor at this time would it consider occupant cases (a case where a UFO report included an alleged description of an occupant inside a craft or on the ground, but where no contact occurred).
		NICAP, APRO and the other groups had and have a vested interest in keeping the UFO issue alive, leaving aside for the moment the actual question of whether or not the data is anomalous, and no one would deny that those groups engage in a bit of hyperbole on occasion.

		NICAP in its day established a Stalinist structure second to anything to be found in old East Germany before the Berlin Wall came down.
		Ann Druffell’s recent book Firestorm is the highest expression of the NICAP viewpoint: we hear the rational, scientific voice of the academic class and sociology of the 1960s to the 1980s.
		It appears to violate the most profound psycho-social law in that the number of sightings (in late 2004) are rapidly increasing at a time when the Ufological interest groups are shrinking to the size of local train-spotting and stamp-collecting clubs.

		He was one of several prominent professional, military or scientific figures on the board of directors, which lent the group a degree of legitimacy many of the other contemporary "flying saucer clubs" sorely lacked.
		NICAP founder Thomas Townsend Brown was ousted as director in early 1957 after facing repeated charges of financial ineptitude.
		There were several persons with CIA ties in NICAP, and there was speculation that the CIA engeneered Keyhoe's ouster.

As Director of NICAP, I have seen it grow to a powerful organization, recognized as the largest scientific UFO research group in the world, with over 12,000 members.

	National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP)
		In January 1957, it came under the directorship of retired major and flying saucer enthusiast, Donald Keyhoe.
		NICAP achieved an unwarranted measure of prestige and credibility through its governing board of retired admirals, generals and academics, enticed by Keyhoe to posts which were little more than sinecures.
		In reality, NICAP acted primarily as a vehicle for Keyhoe to promote the extraterrestrial hypothesis and press his claim that the U.S. Air Force and CIA were concealing information on alien spacecraft and their occupants.

		A reported sighting of a UFO with occupants seen through its windows, having a number of similarities to both the Squyres and the Knight cases, occurred in Connecticut, five years later, on December 16, 1957.
		It was investigated by Richard Hall, former Assistant Director of NICAP and currently NICAP's Research Consultant, and Isabel Davis, currently of the NICAP staff.

		NICAP was the prominent UFO organization at that time, more or less the equivalent of MUFON today (though some would say that NICAP was much more scientific).
		NICAP boasted members such as Major Donald Keyhoe, author of many of the first serious UFO books of our era and an Air Force Major who contradicted the official Air Force UFO conclusions by claiming that ETs in orbiting flying saucers were observing the human race.
		NICAP's involvement tended to make the Mothman sightings into a "real" UFO case of that era, just two years before the Condon Committee report out of the University of Colorado closed the door on future serious UFO research (and Project Blue Book shut down, because there was "nothing to" the subject of UFOs.)

	ufo - UFOS at close sight: a presentation by George W. Earley
		As NICAP staffers Lore and Deneault have shown [2], scores of unexplained sightings were reported prior to the 20th century by astronomers and other scientifically trained observers.
		NICAP has offered to sit down with the Air Force and review the reports in NICAP's files and to publicly correct those disproved by the Air Force.
		All of the above, of course, presupposes a willingness on the part of the scientific community at large to examine the entire UFO question with open minds, devoid, insofar as possible, of emotion charged prejudgment that the entire subject is "utter bilge".

	ufo - UFOS at close sight: the Redmond incident, September 24, 1959
		NICAP noted that aviation personnel other than pilots, such as Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) control tower operators and flight controllers, flight crew members, ground crews, airport supervisors, etc, have made regular reports of UFOs.
		Some of the information has come from NICAP members employed by the FAA, other from public servants (not NICAP members) who apparently have no prejudices about UFOs and merely believe that the subject should be treated frankly and openly.
		In "Aliens from Space", 1973, chapter 3: "The Hidden Gamble", the founder of NICAP, US Marines retired Major Donald E. Keyhoe tells the story of the Air Force's attempt to shoot down this UFO, and the subsequent cover-up of the events.

	Background
		Although NICAP was a civilian organization and contained many well-known civilian UFOlogists, a disturbingly large number of members were retired Air Force and CIA personnel.
		Due to the extent of NICAP's infiltration by agents from outside organizations with unknown objectives, little of the data it managed to collect can be trusted.
		Despite all this, NICAP served Aegis as a fertile ground for recruiting well-connected operatives and Cells.
