The National UFO Conference (NUFOC) is an annual conference held in Hollywood, California. The conference is based in San Diego, California. Its stated mission is "to present top researchers in the field of ufology who will share their ongoing and current research."[attribution needed] The National UFO Conference is the longest active conference in the United States presenting information on the UFO phenomenon. The conference was started in 1963.

History

In 2004 James W. Moseley retired as the NUFOC's Permanent Chairman and Lisa Davis became the Executive Director.

In 2004 Ms. Davis decided to keep NUFOC in Hollywood. She believes that expanding contacts within the entertainment community will greatly assist in raising public awareness of the phenomena. "I took over directing the National UFO Conference not for monetary gain, but rather to advance awareness of the phenomena." Lisa has had a fascination with astronomy since childhood. Her research has covered many different aspects of philosophy, religion, science, medicine, and the paranormal. One of Lisa's goals is to bring the UFO/Abduction scenario into the mainstream public awareness in a professional and practical manner. Ms.Davis has been very active in ufology since 1997. In 2005 she was asked to relieve Rob Baldwin of the San Diego UFO Society, also one of the longest running organizations in ufology that continues to hold local meetings.[1]

Lisa was interviewed by FATE magazine on "Looking Ahead: UFO Trends for 2006" in Fate Magazine's 2005 UFO Special where she was listed as one of the top 100 UFO researchers in Ufology today. Lisa was also interviewed by UFO Magazine for the November 2005 issue. She has also appeared on the History Channel show UFO Files "UFO Hunters" and in "Fastwalkers" Mankind's most carefully guarded secret revealed! A feature film documentary.[2]
