The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), founded in 1977, is a federal executive department responsible for policies regarding energy, nuclear weapons, and nuclear reactor safety. In the context of UAP/UFO research, the DOE maintains resources and documents related to unidentified anomalous phenomena as part of the government's whole-of-government approach to understanding UAP. The department contributes its scientific expertise and analytical capabilities to support interagency UAP investigations, though specific details about its direct involvement in UAP research programs remain limited in public disclosures.
