Science based UFO research organization makes public statement on Department of Defense UFO project

Researcher was told 'no government records exists, despite the recent release of the Nimitz UFO video.


The Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU) endorses the scientific study of the UAP phenomenon and believes that all information regarding unidentified aerial objects should be released so that it can be properly analyzed by the scientific community. The recent revelation byThe New York Times that the Department of Defense has been investigating unidentified aerial phenomena, commonly referred to as UFOs, since 2007 demonstrates that despite official U.S. government statements to the contrary, the UFO/UAP phenomenon is considered a serious topic. The SCU supports public disclosure of research into the phenomenon, and supports an academic study of the phenomenon. A case examined by the DoD produced video from a F-18 SuperHornet that was part of the USS Nimitz carrier group. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to the Navy by an SCU member on this very incident have been met with statements of denial. The release of this video is proof that the government has withheld information on the incident. It is time to turn the information over to the scientific community.


The SCU is a research organization comprised largely of scientists, former military officers, and law enforcement personnel with technical experience and backgrounds in investigation. The SCU is currently examining the material released by the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program (within the Dept of Defense as identified in media reports) with the objective to either identify the unknown objects, or add information as to the characteristics of these objects. Material regarding unidentified objects from military outlets is very rare in recent years. The SCU has experience with similar infrared video in an exhaustive investigation conducted on a case in Puerto Rico. The resources and knowledge gained in that investigation will be brought to bear in this examination and the results will be shared with the public.
