Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP)
The Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP)[1] was an unclassified but unpublicized investigatory effort funded by the United States Government to study unidentified flying objects (UFOs) or unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP).[2] The program was first made public on December 16, 2017. The program began in 2007, with funding of $22 million over the five years until the available appropriations were ended in 2012.[3][4][5] The program began in the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency.[6]
EarthTech International
From Wikipedia: In 1985, Hal Puthoff founded a for-profit company, EarthTech International in Austin, Texas. At about the same time, he founded an organization, Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin (IASA), which he directed. IASA, funded by anonymous donors, pursues ideas Puthoff finds interesting related to energy generation and propulsion.
Puthoff and EarthTech were granted a US Patent in 1998, with claims that information could be transmitted through a distance using a modulated potential with no electric or magnetic field components. These claims are generally considered to be false, and no such transmitter has been constructed. The case is used for educational purposes in patent law[13] as an example of a valid patent for an inoperable invention. According to the Wisconsin Law School case study, “The lesson of the Puthoff patent is that in a world where both types of patents are more and more common, even a competent examiner may fail to distinguish innovation from pseudoscience.”
Galileo Project
As Wikipedia states: “The Galileo Project is an international scientific research project to systematically search for extraterrestrial intelligence or extraterrestrial technology on and near Earth and to identify the nature of anomalous Unidentified Flying Objects/Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UFOs/UAP).
The non-profit project is searching for extraterrestrial technological equipment, which can be considered to be technosignatures, including gathering new data about peculiar UFOs with dedicated optimized unclassified sensor systems.”

J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS)
The J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) is “an international group of scientists, academics, investigators, and volunteers dedicated to the continuing examination and analysis of the UFO phenomenon. Our purpose is to promote serious scientific interest in UFOs and their study, and to serve as an archive for reports, documents, and publications about the UFO phenomenon.”
At this website you’ll find the very interesting eBook (PDF, 679pp) UFOs and Intelligence: A Timeline, “an up-to-date retrospective of UFO history (from Agobard of Lyons to the newly appointed US investigation agency UAPTF), intertwined with events in US and world history concerningmilitary and civilian intelligence agencies and the cult of secrecy”.
This Wikipedia article gives more background information.
MUFON
For the sake of completeness, MUFON is included here. MUFON® is an all-volunteer, non-profit 501(c)3 charitable corporation and the world’s oldest and largest civilian UFO investigation & research organization.
The organization has been criticized for its focus on pseudoscience, and critics say its investigators fail to use the scientific method. You’ll find more information about MUFON in this Wikipedia article.
NARCAP
The National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena, NARCAP, is a fully accredited 501c3 Nonprofit dedicated to the documentation and analysis of aviation safety-related encounters with Unidentified Aerial Phenomena or UAP.
You’ll find background information on NARCAP in this YouTube Interview with NARCAP founder Dr. Richard Haines
National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC)
The National UFO Reporting Center’s primary function over the past two decades has been to receive, record, and to the greatest degree possible, corroborate and document reports from individuals who have been witness to unusual, possibly UFO-related events.
PROJECT 1947
PROJECT 1947 is “a world-wide effort to document the origins of the modern UFO phenomenon. Research for the project has yielded many early-era UFO reports via the FOIA, newspaper articles and contemporary accounts. Some of the material gathered by PROJECT 1947 is on display here.”
