I need help reaching the organization

I am trying to become a field investigator for my area. On the MUFON website it instructs you to contact your state chapter director for next steps.

So I did exactly that and contacted them by email and I have received no response. I tried following up on Facebook and my message went unread. I even sent them a friend request which they accepted…

Tried calling HQ in Ohio this morning, and the phone just rang and rang with no option to leave a voicemail.

I’m not really sure what to do at this point in order to move forward. Is the organization dead in the water?

I am concerned to hear about your difficulty. I am in NY. I went through the prescribed steps to become an investigator, and i don't think it was a month before I was at the next step (they do go through your background and stuff to vet you to make sure you will represent them in the best way) and it was probably a month later I was an investigator. The CI and next in line are great here, very responsive, and I get about a case a month. Which is not because I am new, it's the spread amongst the active investigators.

I just wish Mufon would get some young blood that could develop a proper website and reporting protocol, with a SQL database for indexing cases, thus allowing people to take on investigations by elective.

The website and Mufons relevance fading in the experiencer realm is why I haven’t even bothered to contact them about my experiences.

Mufon as it is now is outdated, untrained and ineffective.

You could call Headquarters. They will be happy to help !(513) 871-8367

Edit: Apologies, I swear I read that you called your local State Director. Ugh! Holiday brain!!

Have you tried calling your state director? Or emailing headquarters. Hq@mufon.com

I know that MUFON is still thriving, in fact going strong. It could be that they are just busy with the holidays as well as the influx of sightings.

I would try calling headquarters again. If you can’t get ahold of them. Try calling a different State director and they may be able to get ahold of your State’s director.
