What is a Report of Investigation?
The ROI is a document that is meant to provide all the information on a case that we are able find, and checklist indicating what avenues of investigation we explored (or did not explore). The strongest hypotheses for explanation of the sighting are enumerated and their strengths and weaknesses discussed. For researchers, the ROI is the best source for data about each case.
Here is an example of an ROI for case: 13-093-1
Why aren’t all ROIs available on the API website?
Before 2018, in an effort to save space on the server, we did not publish ROIs on the API website. However, we now publish .pdf files of ROIs after they have been redacted of witness personal information. ROIs from before 2018 may be also be published for the more interesting cases.
Are ROIs provided upon request?
Yes! All ROIs, when the investigation is complete, are available upon request. We note, however, that witness personal information is not provided. If you are a responsible investigator with whom we have a written agreement on investigational ethics, and you wish to interview the witness, we will, in most circumstance, ask their permission to pass the full ROI on to you.
