- PO Box 61144, Durham, NC 27715-1144
-
- 11.37: North American Institute for Crop Circle Research (NAICCR)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
- NAICCR was formed in 1990 after requests for information about North
- American crop circles had reached epidemic proportions. UFOROM
- associates, who had been regularly investigating reports and
- discoveries of UGMs (Unusual Ground Markings), including traces very
- similar to crop circles, responded to inquiries by formalising a sister
- group devoted to research into UGMs.
-
- NAICCR associates investigate UGMs rationally, and prepare reports on
- their findings. NAICCR distributes a list of known North American
- UGMs, based on information provided to NAICCR by co-operative
- researchers throughout the continent. A comparable list of British UGMs
- has never been available in this manner. NAICCR also publishes an
- annual report of North American UGM activity, with analyses and
- commentary.
-
- NAICCR will continue to function in the future at about the present
- level of activity, though it would be preferred if UGM cases would
- once again be studied as special cases of UFO cases, as was the case
- before tthat category of UGMs was raised to a separate category because
- of British research. NAICCR may perhaps merge back with UFOROM, if this
- is the case, since UFOROM had been investigating UGMs as a matter of
- course.
