UNSOLVED UFO CASES

These are unsolved either because not enough information is available to evaluate, or no solution presents itself from available information. Just because a sighting is unsolved does not indicate that it is an alien space ship. Any of these could be fabrications, but there is nothing to indicate that any of them are.

A "C" followed by a number refers to the Colorado University study case numbers
