It will be open for use by anyone over the internet. What they
choose to do with it is up to the investigator.

>Will it really prove anything that all of the databases of

It will have the most sightings of any database including many
not available for database use. It will be of historical interest
too.

Previous efforts have been limited by :
1- # of reports
2- little access to many people who need it
3- reports not in database form
4- wide range of database searching capabilities to find
info not previously even hinted at.
5- monetary cost for use.

>Will it take 5,000 10,000 100,000 sighting reports to achieve
>what ever these goals are?

The exact # of reports is not important. What is, is that there
are many, if not all of the reports, in any form, all available
in one place for immediate database sorting and use (including
military, FOIA generated, and anything new added as it comes in.)

I have gotten many positive responses from people out there who
believe this effort is long overdue. Past database derived data
has been limited in accuracy by the limited data available and
have taken great effort to generate results. We hope to alleviate
those problems.
