UFOs in C'sted

St. Croix - Have UFOs really landed in Christiansted? Not really. Maybe they were here around the time Columbus landed at Salt River. Maybe they helped him navigate the rough seas? Maybe not. What is known for certain is they are here now. Well, not exactly UFOs, but MUFON is here.

MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network, has their monthly meetings on the first Saturday of every month at Coffee Roasters in the King Christian Hotel on the Boardwalk in Christiansted, between 1pm to 2:30pm.

MUFON has a large global network of members, investigators, and researchers who are involved in various aspects of UFO research.

MUFON’s mission is to investigate reported UFO sightings, collect data, and analyze evidence related to the phenomenon, all for the benefit of humanity. They aim to understand the nature of such events as sightings, purported abductions and landings by UFOs, and they measure their potential impact.

Jamie Leonard, is the National Director of MUFON in the USVI. He is a certified Inspector of UFO incidents. He may travel anywhere in the world to investigate reports of UFO sightings.
