The Finnish UFO Research Association (FUFORA), known as "Suomen Ufotutkijat ry" (SUT) in Finnish, was founded in Tampere in 1973. The association’s mission is to investigate unidentified flying objects (UFOs/UAPs), gather and disseminate information about UAP phenomena, and train UAP investigators. FUFORA also serves as a collaborative hub for UAP investigators, organizing seminars and online meetings. The association publishes "Yhteys" magazine several times a year, available exclusively to its members. Tampere UFO ry, a local UFO association in Tampere, is part of the broader FUFORA network.

Our archives are housed in Tampere, but our association operates on a national scale. Across Finland, FUFORA has approximately 300 members, including 60 who serve as official UFO investigators.

Our association maintains a neutral stance on the origin of UFOs. We do not assert that all UFO phenomena are beyond explanation, nor do we dismiss the possibility that some occurrences remain unexplained by modern science. In our view, effective UFO investigation requires a balance of critical thinking and open-mindedness—guided by common sense.
