According to leeh.net’s website: “The Willard J. Vogel Study was established in 1997 as a Washington State Nonprofit Corporation. The organization has Federal nonprofit status as a 501(c)(3) entity. The corporation was established to fund field work and disseminate data on Anomalous Luminous Phenomena (ALP) research being conducted on the Yakama* Indian Reservation and in other locations worldwide. The organization is dedicated to making quality scientific measurements and accumulating reliable data for researchers studying the ALP/Nocturnal Light (NL) enigma. The Study is NOT a “UFO Organization”, since the current use of the acronym “UFO” is almost invariably equated with extraterrestrial origins of the phenomena. When the term is used on this site, it is used in its classical sense – meaning Unidentified Flying Object. The Study is named in honor of the late Willard J. “Bill” Vogel, a supervisor in the Fire Control Division on the Yakama Indian Reservation, near Toppenish, Washington USA. Although NL observations on the Yakama Reservation and surrounding areas had been reported for many years, Mr. Vogel was the first to recognize the nocturnal lights and other unidentified phenomena on the Reservation as a physical reality and legitimate subject for more careful study. He supported his arguments for a serious inquiry with numerous photographs, log books, and eyewitness reports from a number of credible observers.”
