Description

Overview
Founded in 1993 as 'Deutschsprachige Gesellschaft für UFO-Forschung e. V.' (German-speaking Society for UFO Research). Organizes interregional UFO research in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Operates a UFO sighting hotline and an Austrian branch (degufo.at).

Research Approach
Clearly evidence-based with active field investigator network. Systematically investigates reported sightings, cooperates with GEP and CENAP. Part of the EuroUFO network. Publishes own reports and analyses. Well connected in the international UFO research landscape.

Strengths and Weaknesses
Well organized, good network in the DACH region and Eastern Europe. Regular annual conferences. Publications in club format — less academic than GEP or CENAP. Limited resources as a volunteer organization. CRED through solid methodology and networking, but limited by lack of peer review.
