The UFOCOM or Belarusian UFOlogical COMmunity (previous and internal name: Ufological Committee of Belarus) is a non-commercial, non-government, non-registered public organization in Belarus.[1] It was founded in 2001, in Horki, Belarus, by a group of enthusiasts, mostly students of the Belarusian State Agricultural Academy, studying paranormal phenomena in the local area. Later, the group developed into a statewide networked community of volunteers, performing both local and statewide field, monitoring and analytical research projects.
Since 2005 UfoCom has been a part of the Kosmopoisk international movement, officially serving as a non-registered office and public node for the all-CIS network of anomalistic/UFO research. All-Belarusian annual field meetings are held jointly by Kosmopoisk and UfoCom in places statewide that are considered the most notable and attractive from a researcher point of view.[citation needed] The coordinator of UfoCom also serves as the coordinator for the Belarusian regional branch of Kosmopoisk Unity (Kosmopoisk-Belarus). Since 2006 the UfoCom coordinator is Ilya Butov.[2]
Orthodox Church relationsedit
In 2005 UfoCom was included on the list of destructive religious organizations of Belarus due to a series of unfriendly articles towards the church, published by UfoCom's previous leader, Ruslan Linnik. The problem was eventually solved with Linnik's withdrawal from UfoCom activities in 2006.
Structureedit
UfoCom consists of a number of local groups in large cities in Belarus, most active in Minsk and Brest, as well as in Vitebsk, Horki and other areas, together with a number of individual members and corresponding members from Belarus and foreign countries. In addition there exists a special urban explorer team called Diggers of Brest, which performs research on underground locations such as Brest Fortress and abandoned ancient and Soviet-era fortification installations, and an archaeological team called Artefact. UfoCom focuses on studying various anomalous phenomena (UFOs, crop circles, poltergeists), meteorite impact sites, civilian, military and religious historical sites. Research is conducted in close cooperation with the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus and its facilities.
Cooperation and partnershipedit
Joint research activitiesedit
UfoCom widely participates and supports various networked (mostly Kosmopoisk-based) initiatives in Belarus:
Project
Activities and researches

Travelling infrared phenomena instrumental study, hold via a networked observations with low-budget amateur photoelectronic devices
Unidentified sources(LIDAR beam-like) with about 0.4 Hz amplitude variation spotted in 2008
Tonnel
A field search and exploration of underground installations, possibly related with UFO phenomena, and their possible influence on processes in the environment
Several archaeological sites(non UFO-related) discovered and investigated
Dromos

Since 2005, a number of UfoCom members and implemented activities were nominated for the Kosmopoisk annual award. In 2007, two UfoCom volunteers were awarded diplomas from March for Parks, held by the Russian Biodiversity Conservation center's international environmental programme (the first time in post-USSR history members of ufological communities received award for nature protection activities).
Media coverageedit
UfoCom collects and makes available for research a library of various literature devoted to anomalous phenomena, including rare items. For promoting research and their results, a periodical newspaper, Anatomy of Phenomena, is published on a non-commercial basis.[3]
