I would like to point out that Google did not launch this site, it simply piggy backs on the Google maps server. Sorry, I'm a stickler for details such as this.

Are you sure it isn't a Google site?

It says here it has been launched by Google.

Yes, I'm sure. I wouldn't have posted if I wasn't. They could just as well say that the National UFO Reporting Center launched the site because it plugs into data from both google maps, and the National UFO Reporting Center.
This is completely different than someone just imposing UFO info on to a Google Map.
and Google being the Corporate Entity not the people or companies using the software , is ulltimately responsible and in control of these sites.

There are mash-ups for traffic conditions, cellular coverage, home sales and the location of potholes in New York. Newspapers are beginning to mash-up the locations of their stories with Google Maps. One of the newest mash-ups links the National UFO Reporting Center database to Google Maps. Interestingly, UFO sightings seem to cluster around Silicon Valley, perhaps indicating that many software engineers really are aliens.
Google has launched a site that Maps UFOs

The title imo was fine, i was just thrown by this line of your first post
It's a little misleading because Google clearly didn't launch the site.
That’s all i was getting at
www.freenewmexican.com...
Using the Google Maps API (or application program interface), www.ufomaps.com... launches an interactive map of UFO sightings.
(And the article goes on to say.)
The Google initiative is not the only site to use maps to chart UFO activity. www.larryhatch.net... is a detailed effort to graph UFO activity ffrom the past 50 years or ealier, and as a sizable set of graphs, charts, histograms and other data. www.ufodisclosure.com... tracks alleged UFO flight corridors and patterns near Bisbee, Arizona. While not offering maps, another serious effort of research is at www.ufoinfo.com...
