The UAP Disclosure Fund is the preeminent civil society organization dedicated to advancing the understanding of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). Our team of world-class experts engages with the public, the U.S. government, academia, and the private sector to foster transparency, shape policy, and champion scientific inquiry.

"There are interesting cases that I — with my physics and engineering background and time in the IC — I do not understand and I don’t know anybody else who understands."

Former Director of the National Security Agency (2014–2018)
September 6, 2024
"There are things that cannot be explained... I don't know what the explanation is for those unexplainable things, but I will say there are phenomena that have been witnessed by multiple people that are just inexplicable by any kind of science, the science available to us."
Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster, U.S. Army (Ret)
Former National Security Advisor (2017-2018)
December 12, 2023
"Was there actually, you know, something found at some point in the past that helped us to develop some of our technologies? That remains to be seen or at least remains to be disclosed."
Mike Rounds
Senator, Member, Senate Armed Services Committee (2015–Present)
August 6, 2023
“There is a lot of unidentified aerial phenomena out there. That’s true. And they’ve got pilot reports, there’s various other sensors out there, and some of it is difficult to explain… some [UAP are] really kind of weird and unexplainable.”
General Mark A. Milley, U.S. Army (Ret)
Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (2019–2023)
July 14, 2023
"The American public has a right to learn about technologies of unknown origins, non-human intelligence, and unexplainable phenomena. We are not only working to declassify what the government has previously learned about these phenomena but to create a pipeline for future research to be made public."
Chuck Schumer
Senate Majority Leader (2021-Present)
August 26, 2022
“There are so many of us now on the Intel Committee and Armed Services that we're going to stand by the service members who documented this stuff. They have video. They have radar. They have heat sensors. They have everything.”
Kirsten Gillibrand
Senator, Member, Senate Armed Services Committee & Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (2009–Present)
May 17, 2022
"It's clear that the majority, that many of the observations that we have are physical objects from the sensor data... We haven't had a collision. We have had at least 11 near misses."

“Well I don't believe they are coming from foreign adversaries. Why if there were that would suggest they have a technology that is in a whole different sphere than anything we understand, and frankly China and Russia just aren't there, and neither are we by the way.”
Mitt Romney
Senator, Member, Senate Foreign Relations Committee & Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (2019–Present)
June 25, 2021
"We currently lack data to indicate any UAP are part of a foreign collection program or indicative of a major technological advancement by a potential adversary... Some UAP observations could be attributable to developments and classified programs by U.S. entities. We were unable to confirm, however, that these systems accounted for any of the [144] UAP reports we collected."

“Objects that have been seen by Navy or Air Force pilots, or in satellite imagery, that engage in actions that... we don't have the technology for, or traveling at speeds that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom...

June 23, 2020
“After looking into this, I came to the conclusion that there were reports — some were substantive, some not so substantive — that there were actual [UAP] materials that the government and the private sector had in their possession... It is extremely important that information about the discovery of physical materials or retrieved craft come out.”
