The oldest and largest UFO investigative organization in the United States, MUFON, or the Mutual UFO Network, is set to receive significant financial backing from billionaire entrepreneur and real estate investor, Robert Bigelow. The billionaire has just wrapped up a deal with MUFON which involves his supplying of the necessary funds for it to do whatever it takes to bring back hard evidence of the documentation of UFOs. Moreover, he intends for the organization to actually retrieve useful scientific information that will advance scientific and technical understanding.

Since its inception, MUFON has been a volunteer organization; now, with the financial backing, its members will be paid to do their work, and their resources won’t be nearly as limited as before. Under the new agreement with Bigelow, MUFON is to train and qualify a special rapid response team that can be deployed within a day to the scene of a major UFO happening.

A serious project of this nature has never been attempted before, so this endeavor certainly breaks new ground. Bigelow has hired 50 well-regarded scientists to assist MUFON in this new project. The scientists will work as consultants to conduct lab analyses of any alien materials found at the locations of significant UFO happenings.
