| For the very first time, the TRACAT
database is directly available to virtually any UFO buff. All the basic data of each
Italian cases involving a "physical evidence" (usually on ground and vegetation)
can now be browsed, sorted and filtered on the fly. Just from your home! The database is currently under updating and will be soon offered in a much
expanded version. Please be patient during loading: there is a lot of stuff to download.
If you have already the entrance password, click the button below,

In
order to manage the database at its best:
- select one database field from the
"SORT" drop-down menu: the database will be automatically sorted just on that
field.
- select from the "INDEX"
drop-down menu the data field you want to filter. Then type in the "SEARCH" box
what you are looking for and finally click on the "SEARCH INDEX" button. Example:
select "Kind" and type "NL" in order to find all cases labeled as
"Nocturnal Lights". This will allow you to get a precise filter.
- if you operate as above but click on
the "SEARCH ALL" button you'll get a more generic filtering action, finding many
more entries but at a lower speed. Example: if you have selected "Date" as
search field and typed "54", when you click on the "SEARCH ALL" button
you'll retrieve all cases happened in 1954 (the date field is always in the format.
YYMMDD): we realized, anyway, the function is not always much precise, so you may get all
1954 cases plus others taken place in other years.
- click on the "SHOW ALL"
button if you want to display and manage all the database entries, after a filter.
- the navigation buttons in the upper
left part of the window allow you to move through the database records.
- in the upper right part of the window
there is a Filter box: double click on one of the available items and you'll get
automatically a filter.
- click on the eventual image field of
each record: the related low resolution picture will be displayed. Leave the image window
open: the next picture will be loaded faster!
