Robert J. Gribble, commonly known as Bob Gribble, is a Seattle-based UFO/UAP investigator and firefighter whose interest in unidentified flying objects began in 1954 after reading UFO literature by Donald Kehoe. In the early-to-mid 1950s, he established several civilian UFO organizations, including the Space Observers League and Civilian Flying Saucer Intelligence, and published an early UFO newsletter called Flying Saucer Review. In 1974, Gribble founded the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) near Seattle (hotline: 206-722-3000), which became a major civilian clearinghouse for UFO/UAP sighting reports. Over two decades, NUFORC compiled a database of approximately 170,000 reported UFO sightings, primarily from the United States. In 1994, Gribble retired from active UFO research and transferred NUFORC operations to Peter Davenport. NUFORC relocated in 2006 from Seattle to a facility near Spokane, Washington.

Robert J. Gribble, conhecido como Bob Gribble, é um investigador de OVNIs/UAPs baseado em Seattle e bombeiro de profissão, cuja paixão por objetos voadores não identificados começou em 1954 após ler literatura sobre OVNIs de Donald Kehoe. No início e meados dos anos 1950, estabeleceu várias organizações civis dedicadas a OVNIs, incluindo a Space Observers League e Civilian Flying Saucer Intelligence, e publicou um boletim informativo inicial sobre OVNIs chamado Flying Saucer Review. Em 1974, Gribble fundou o National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) perto de Seattle (hotline: 206-722-3000), que se tornou uma importante câmara de compensação civil para relatórios de avistamentos de OVNIs/UAPs. Ao longo de duas décadas, o NUFORC compilou um banco de dados de aproximadamente 170 mil avistamentos de OVNIs relatados, principalmente dos Estados Unidos. Em 1994, Gribble se aposentou da pesquisa ativa em OVNIs e transferiu as operações do NUFORC para Peter Davenport. O NUFORC foi realocado em 2006 de Seattle para uma instalação perto de Spokane, Washington.
