Department of State

The United States Department of State, founded in 1789, is a U.S. government agency responsible for foreign affairs, diplomacy, and international relations. In UAP/UFO contexts, it has played a peripheral role, primarily through diplomatic coordination on international UAP incidents and policy discussions. Key activities include interagency collaboration on UAP reporting, as seen in ODNI assessments, and high-level official involvement, such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio's participation in 2025 documentary discussions on UAP disclosure and government knowledge. It supports broader U.S. government efforts like those of AARO and NASA but leads no dedicated UAP programs. Notable achievements involve contributing to transparency initiatives amid rising UAP reports. Currently active, it remains engaged in national security dialogues related to anomalous phenomena.
