HOTLINE CASES


The Gribble NUFORC Collection consists of dozens of reel to reel tapes, each containing 12 hours of recordings, hundreds of cassettes and thousands of pages of documentation. However, Bob would record calls and not enter them into the Call Log, or Case Files, which is normal across the human spectrum. These witness reports he referred to as his Hotline cases. Unfortunately, some of the recordings have no date given and in some cases, not even the year.

Research Recordings of Robert Gribble's National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) Seattle, WA 1974 - 1977

252 Tracks
Total Running Time: 44:00:25

Robert Gribble began his research into the unidentified flying object phenomena in 1955. He began the Aerial Phenomena Research Group (APRG), which circulated a newsletter detailing new cases.

In late 1974, Gribble converted the Phenomena Research Reporting Center to allow the public a place they could call and report their experiences to a nonjudgmental researcher. Commonly known as the UFO Reporting Center or UFO Central during the early years, it became known internationally as the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC). First calls received began on November 11, 1974.

Over a period of twenty years, Gribble received thousands of telephone calls from witnesses of actual encounters with UFOs, which were recorded and data collected. On-site investigations and interviews were conducted by Gribble and his associates and accompanying documentation for cases were archived.

Robert Gribble retired from research in 1994 and Peter Davenport took over the on-going data collection of the National UFO Reporting Center. In 2004, Robert Gribble donated his research materials to Wendy Connors, culminating in this audio archive of research material. Documentation accompanying these recordings are maintained along with the original recording sources, including the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all witnesses. What you hear is raw, minimally edited, research. Most of the interviews were done within minutes of the encounter or while the encounter was happening.

These recordings are of actual witness interviews to UFO encounters and were selected to show a broad based overview of the UFO phenomena being observed and reported.

It makes no difference whether a person believe, or not believe, in UFOs. But the reality is found here and is indesputable. Nobody, as yet, has proven any of the theories of where these objects originate and why they are encountered. Robert Gribble has made the truth abundantly clear…and you'll hear it directly from people of all walks of life. For the seasoned researcher, this audio data is priceless as the missing half of research that written data could never convey…the human element.

The journey you are about to take will certainly amuse or concern you, but most importantly, I hope it teaches you something new and maybe, just maybe, something quite wonderful for yourself and humanity, as we continue our human journey to the stars.

What a bonanza. Hear it for yourself. Much sincere gratitude to Wendy Connors, Roderick B. Dyke and Giuliano Marinković. Lately been listening to the Gribble collection and it has invigorated me.

And, kudos to Sir IsaacKoi as well. Thank you! Gotta step out will download this treasure trove later tonight.

I had hoped this was possible, but couldn't imagine who would make it happen.
This is an incredible resource to have archived and shared!

Nice find! I've been hoping this would become available online at some point. I have one of the Primer in Audio discs and there are some real gems of ufological history to be heard on it. I'm looking forward to hearing some of James McDonald's lectures in his own voice.

Thanks for bringing this to us!

I'm looking forward to hearing some of James McDonald's lectures in his own voice.

I generally prefer reading material to listening to lectures, but I do sometimes like hearing the voice of the person involved.

Also, when it comes to witness reports of UFOs, listening to the witnesses themselves can help avoid some of the distortions (deliberate or otherwise) introduced by the books/articles written by UFO researchers.
