Suzanne Hansen founded UFO Focus New Zealand Research Network (Ufocus NZ) in 2000 to contribute to the growing public interest in UFO’s/UAPs and related topics, both in NZ and globally. Ufocus NZ is an independent group of volunteers and does not have a membership.

Suzanne’s 48 years of research and sighting investigations began in 1975 when she experienced a stunning UFO event in Hawkes Bay, and she continued to work independently through the era of the now-famous ‘Kaikoura Lights’ sightings and ‘Gisborne UFO Flap’ of the late 70s.  In 1987 Suzanne began working with veteran NZ UFO researcher, the late Harvey Cooke, and in the early 2000s, in association with veteran UFO researcher Bryan Dickeson.  Suzanne has spoken at international UFO conferences/meetings, and to community groups in NZ, since 1997, and networks widely with international UFO groups and individuals.

In 2000, Ufocus NZ was formed with a nationwide volunteer staff with mainly scientific and aviation skills or professions, and the organization has continued to maintain a high interest in aviation UFO/UAP sighting reports.

In 2008-09, Suzanne lobbied the then Chief of Defence Forces for the release of the NZ MoD UFO Files, subsequently released in 2010 & 2011.

Ufocus NZ has taken part in international documentaries such as ‘60 Minutes – The Truth is out there’, Korean TV, National Geographic’s ‘Invasion Earth’, History Channel’s ‘Ancient Aliens ‘etc, as well as radio, TV and print media articles.

Ufocus NZ strives to serve the public and fellow researchers as a research, investigation, information resource (educational), and support network.
