For UFO researchers, and especially those interested in UFO history, the internet is a treasure trove. There are many easily accessible archives online, with archive.org and Archives for the Unexplained being two of the main go-to sites. There is also a lot of material available, thanks to researchers who preserved it on their sites during periods of active research and investigation, and the material remains despite many having ceased any major activity.

0:40 Two examples are the websites left behind and looked after by caring former members by the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena and the Center for UFO Studies. Among the archived material can be found articles on UFO incidents clipped out of newspapers. These were gathered, in many cases, by individual researchers in the area of a UFO incident or through the efforts of a network of members of some of the larger organizations, such as NICAP and CUFOS. Then, in 1969, a young UFO enthusiast took it upon himself to start a news clipping service devoted to UFOs and other things for teen. He copied, cut, and pasted the clippings to put together a monthly publication available by subscription, appropriately named the UFO News Clipping Service.
