This is the official website of Birmingham UFO Group. The group began in 2007 and continues to be one of the most active UFO groups in the UK. We look into cases from the area of Birmingham England and further afield, and are happy to investigate cases from anywhere in the world. Dave Hodrien is both Chairman and lead investigator for the group. He is a regular speaker on the UFO subject and writer for UFO Truth magazine. On this site you can submit sightings, read our case reports & articles, find out details about upcoming events, and explore a wealth of related material. If you are a contactee you may also wish to join in with our online support meetings. We hope you enjoy the site. Please feel free to contact us and get involved.

Over recent months our Chairman has been putting his heart and soul into development of a completely new and modern website for the group, including a new logo, documented case reports and never-before-seen sections. On the evening of Thursday 19th September he will be officially launching the new site, complete with a run through of what it contains and a presentation of recent case investigations. There will also be some special raffle prizes up for grabs. Come join in the festivities and be one of the first to see the re-branding of BUFOG! For further details click here

Thanks to those of you who turned up last night to try out my new UFO themed card game! Most of you seemed to enjoy it, obviously it's sometimes difficult to dive straight on into a new game which has a level of tactics but you performed admiraly, especially 13-year-old Louis who beat all us oldies to the prize - a near complete collection of UFO Magazine and a box of Maltesers! I'll keep everyone on here updated on the game's development and Kickstarter in due course...

Got a couple of great events coming up later this week at BUFOG!
