+====== Database ======
+== The National UFO Reporting Center Online Database ==
+The NUFORC Databank is the largest independently collected set of UFO / UAP sighting reports available on the internet.   For 25 years, it has been the go-to resource for researchers and the general public interested in following the most recent first hand UFO witness accounts, or delving into a deep archive of historical reports.   The reports are freely available to the public to browse through the indexes below.   For any other use, including commercial use, please refer to our Terms of Service at the bottom of the page.
+NUFORC staff review each report, and grade them as follows:
+  *     TIER 1: The most dramatic sightings – strange structured craft or highly anomalous phenomena seen at close distance.  Indicated by a bright yellow Open! Link.
+  *     TIER 2: Objects exhibiting unusual characteristics such as incredible speed, non-inertial turns, unexplainable propulsion, etc. Indicated by a faded yellow Open link.
+  *     TIER 3: Other reports that cannot be easily explained.
+  *    TIER 4: Reports we feel are explainable by human or natural phenomenon. Explanations are rated as Possible (indicated by ?), Probable or Certain.
+Note: Reports received prior to March 2023 have not yet been graded.
