2007 Birth of UFO Reports Archive

2007 Annual UFO Reports

The Birth of UFO-Reports.com

UFO-Reports.com was originally registered and launched in 2007 as a small hobby website dedicated to being an online UFO Reports Archive website. The earliest archived version available on the Wayback Machine dates to late fall of that year. The original owner maintained the site with regular updates until around 2017–2018 but kept it online for many years to follow.

Birth Of UFO Reports Archive

When I (SpaceCowboy) revived the domain in 2026, one of my main goals was to honor the original owner’s work and continue the traditions they established — particularly the yearly summary pages and coverage of classic cases. I purchased the domain when I found it available to revive it which I talk about more on this UFO Sighting page.

In effort to maintain the original owners tradition I kept Annual UFO Reports and brought them all the way to 2026. I have added some content and sadly some of the original content that I attempted to restore from the original didn’t transfer well due to old outdated coding of an earlier era. At the time of writing this I don’t plan to create new pages highlighting the coming years but keep updates flowing in the form of News & Updates style posting. Another tradition from the old site was the Classic Cases that I do plan to extend fairly extensively with time and there was a page dedicated to crop circles that I felt should be part of this revival too. One of the neatest things about these Annual UFO Report update pages are little hints on some of them progressing how UFO disclosure has evolved from 2007 to today. And I love that and am fascinated with finding humor in the news that shows denial to things then that they’re openly acknowledging now!
