Ted Roe

Ted Roe is the co-founder and executive director of NARCAP (National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena) and one of the central figures at the intersection of UAP research and civil aviation safety. Together with Dr. Richard Haines he built NARCAP from 2001 onward into a specialised reporting centre for aircraft-related UAP incidents. Born and raised in Great Falls, Montana during the 1960s and 1970s, Roe now resides on the Big Island of Hawaii.

• Co-founded NARCAP in 2001 with Dr. Richard Haines; organisation documents aviation-related UAP incidents since 1999
• Created a framework for pilots and air-traffic controllers to confidentially report UAP encounters without career risk
• NARCAP defined and established the term "UAP" in the U.S. context
• Partnered with official international government UAP research teams and published over forty papers on UAP and aviation safety
• Administers the International Association of UAP Researchers (IAUAPR.org)
• Teaches freediving, martial arts (Iaido) and Zen meditation in Hawaii alongside his UAP work
• Has briefed the U.S. Congress, government officials and aviation experts
• Developed international NARCAP branches and standards for UAP reporting and research

Under Ted Roe's leadership NARCAP has established professional UAP reporting procedures in commercial aviation, shaped safety standards and given pilots a protected channel for their accounts — an institutional contribution that reaches well beyond the classical UFO field into mainstream aviation safety.
