Ernie Kellerstrass, also known as 'Hawk,' is an American UFO researcher and former investigator for the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (A.P.R.O.) from 1974 to 1980. He worked closely with figures like Bill Moore on the controversial Aviary group and shared key insights in interviews with researchers such as Bruce Maccabee in 1985-1986. Kellerstrass recounted personal eyewitness accounts of UFOs, including experimental aircraft models at Wright AFB resembling cigars and saucers, and a U.S. jet shot down over Japan while pursuing a UFO. He discussed recovered UFO artifacts and alien technology with Air Force Foreign Technology Division (FTD) physicist Dale Graff in 1978, linking to remote viewing and psi phenomena research at SRI.
