Joel Mozer

Dr. Joel Mozer is the Chief Scientist of the U.S. Space Force, a position he has held since October 2018. An American scientist with expertise in space and defense, Mozer has been linked to early UAP investigations through official communications. FOIA-released documents from The Black Vault reveal emails likely authored by him regarding Dr. Travis Taylor, a senior scientist in the Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC), and his involvement in UFO research efforts. These communications, dated around the formation of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) in 2020, reference an 'Interagency Task Force' (ITF) led by John 'Jay' Stratton, predecessor to the UAPTF. While Mozer's direct role in UAP programs remains unconfirmed beyond these redacted exchanges, his position places him at the intersection of military space operations and UAP-related inquiries.
