Advancing the Science of the Unexplained
The UAP Research Foundation funds and coordinates rigorous, evidence-based research into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) and advocates for responsible government transparency.
Our Commitment
Open Science, Rigorous Methods
Scientific Rigor
Every project we fund is evaluated against established standards of scientific methodology. We do not speculate. We do not sensationalize. We follow the evidence wherever it leads, and we publish what we find.
Government Transparency
Decades of classification and institutional silence have impeded legitimate inquiry. We file public records requests, support whistleblower protections, and advocate for the declassification of UAP-related materials.
Open-Source Data Sharing
All research we fund must be shared publicly as a condition of our support. We believe scientific progress depends on open access to data, to methods, and to findings.
"We believe the most important questions deserve the most careful answers and that the general public has a right to know what its government knows about the fundamental nature of science and reality."
Who We Are
A Foundation Built on Curiosity and Accountability
The UAP Research Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity headquartered in Bentonville, Arkansas. We were established to fill a critical gap: the need for a credible, independent institution that takes the study of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena seriously, not as entertainment, but as science.
Our work spans sensor and detection research, atmospheric and electromagnetic phenomena, and policy advocacy for government transparency. We are funded entirely by public donations.
We are not affiliated with any government agency, defense contractor, or entertainment company. Our only agenda is truth and transparency.

Active Research Areas
Where We Focus
Sensor & Detection Technology
Supporting the development and deployment of multi-spectral sensor arrays capable of capturing high-fidelity data on anomalous aerial phenomena — the foundational work that makes everything else possible.
Atmospheric & Electromagnetic Phenomena
Investigating the physical properties of observed anomalies through the lens of atmospheric science, plasma physics, and extended electrodynamics — applying established scientific frameworks to unexplained observations.
Policy & Transparency Advocacy
Filing FOIA requests, supporting legislative transparency efforts, and building the public record needed to hold institutions accountable for what they know about UAP.
