 | NICAP was founded on October 24, 1956, by physicist Thomas Townsend Brown. |
 | NICAP publicly gave little attention to close encounters of the third kind (where animated beings are purportedly sighted in relation to a UFO). |
 | NICAP's archive of UFO sighting case files was subsequently purchased by the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS). |

 | NICAP approaches this problem with an open mind and seeks the co-operation of all who have something to contribute in the way of experience and reason. |
 | The aims and purposes of NICAP are to serve honestly and sincerely the public interest in searching out the facts pro and con, believing that knowledge of the truth, whatever it might be, serves to benefit humanity far more than the suppression of information. |
 | NICAP is sponsored by patriotic citizens whose sole interest is to work to the end that information concerning aerial phenomena to which citizens in a free democracy are entitled, be made available to them without restriction, except where it is plainly obvious that the release of such information would jeopardize the national defense. |
