DANIEL HAGEMAN BIOGRAPHY:
The Butler Organization for Research of the Unexplained (BORU) originated in 1984 as The Butler UFO Group, with an initial focus on systematically investigating UFO sightings within Butler County and its adjacent tri-state region. As the organization experienced growth in membership, its investigative remit progressively expanded to encompass a wider spectrum of anomalous phenomena, including cryptid sightings and paranormal activities. This evolution in scope necessitated a rebranding to BORU, thereby formally acknowledging its broadened research agenda.
Daniel Hageman, BORU’s Founder and Director, provides leadership informed by both personal encounters with unidentified aerial phenomena and vivid experiential accounts involving extraterrestrial entities and their modes of transport. His professional background as a former police officer and U.S. Navy veteran, combined with expertise in photography and electronics, underpins the methodological rigor of BORU’s investigations. Hageman’s work has been disseminated through various local media outlets, podcasts, and social media platforms, contributing to public engagement with the organization’s findings. Under Hageman’s direction, BORU has conducted hundreds of detailed investigations into UFO/UAP sightings and numerous field inquiries into cryptid phenomena such as Bigfoot and Dogman. The cumulative evidence from these investigations supports the conclusion that humanity is not solitary in the universe. BORU’s core mission remains the systematic research and documentation of UFO/UAP sightings and other paranormal occurrences within Butler County and the greater Western Pennsylvania area. The organization actively solicits reports from individuals who have witnessed unidentified aerial phenomena, cryptid encounters, or other unexplained events, emphasizing the importance of detailed observational data-including date, time, location, environmental conditions, and witness accounts-for ongoing research. Reports can be submitted via email to sightings@boru-ufo.com or vop4647@yahoo.com.
