An unidentified flying object, or UFO, in its most general definition, is any apparent anomaly in the sky (or near or on the ground, but observed hovering, landing, or departing into the sky) that is not readily identifiable as any known object or phenomenon by visual observation and/or use of associated instrumentation such as radar. These anomalies were referred to popularly as "flying saucers" or "flying discs" during the late 1940s and early 1950s."
Wikipedia definition of UFO
That is the wikipedia's definition of Unidentified Flying Object. ufo-hunters.com collects a huge data set of sightings all over the world. Our main purpose is to collaborate spreading objective UFO data. We thank the work of organizations such as NUFORC and MUFON that collect and investigate sighting reports and are a source of inspiration for us.
Behind ufo-hunters.com there are two enthusiast guys of both extraterrestrial life and new technologies. Our first purpose was to collaborate in the dissemination of UFO Data as we found the large data set available at infochimps.com: 60,000+ DOCUMENTED UFO SIGHTINGS WITH TEXT DESCRIPTIONS AND METADATA"
Our secondary purpose was to experiment with new technologies, and had the challenge to publish this project to production in a few weeks. At this point we know we chose the best possible stack and are proud to claim that all the resources and technologies we used are open source.
Currently we are focused in the analysis of all these reports trying to get insight from the data.

UFO Investigator
Art Champoux has been an UFO investigator since 1964. He has worked with Ray Fowler, Walter Webb, John Keel, and a lady that he cannot name, as well as several different UFO groups.
In the 1960s he collaborated with APRO, CAPER, NIACP, being an investigator when the Aerial Phenomena Research Organisation (APRO) was very prominent in the UFO investigating business. Now he collaborates with MUFON.
The world of the paranormal has always fascinated him, even as a small boy he went through some eerie happenings. His Great Grandmother was a Spirit medium, so maybe he inherited some kind of a special connection with the paranormal. He has written articles for several publications and his leanings are much like John Keel's. He believes there is an ultra-force, not from outer space, but much like John Keel's ideas or even Jacques Vallees' contention..."We are but one dimension out of many that reign on this planet".

I mainly stand for love and peace which has been missed for 1000's of years. There is indeed an alien presences amongst this planet and I feel it a duty to humanity in the sharing of truth and justice for free will of our birthright."

Damian from MUPHART films the night sky with a digital camcorder every monday night looking for UFO's. Most of the time nothing is seen. But every once and a while something weird gets on camera. Entire investigations into the night sky are filmed on MUPHART's UFO channel once a week. Check them out there.

All the UFO data we collect is regularly imported into a NoSQL database called MongoDB, with geospatial "2dsphere" indexes that considerably ease all the stuff with coordinates and geolocation.
We also used some resources available at freeCSStemplates.org
This site is built with an incredibly powerful web framework called Ruby on Rails, that uses the most eloquent and elegant programming language we've ever used.
Some of the images in this site are available at OpenClipArt.org
We've applied lots of javascript resources, such as the well known jQuery, jQuery.carouFredSel "a plugin that turns any kind of HTML element into a carousel", and D3.js for data-driven documents generation.
The current responsive version of the site has been developed using Twitter BootStrap.
