US Military

The US Military, established in 1775 as the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, is a United States government organization encompassing branches like the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Space Force. In UAP/UFO research, it has led key programs: Project Blue Book (1947-1969) investigated 12,618 sightings, with 701 unidentified, concluding no national security threat or extraterrestrial evidence. The 2020 Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) assessed potential threats to military operations. Currently, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), under the Department of Defense, investigates UAP using scientific methods to resolve anomalies and protect national security. Notable achievements include historical data collection now archived at the National Archives (Record Group 615), enhanced sensor analytics, and stigma reduction for reporting. Active as of 2026, focusing on airspace safety and threat detection.
