Things have come a long way since Roswell.

1940s-1950s
The Dawn of the Modern UFO Era
The modern UFO phenomenon emerges with a surge of unexplained aerial sightings across the globe. The infamous Roswell incident of 1947 captures public imagination and becomes the cornerstone of UFO mythology. Governments worldwide begin establishing formal investigation programs to assess potential national security implications.
1952-1969
Project Blue Book: The Air Force Investigation
The U.S. Air Force launches Project Blue Book, the most comprehensive government UFO study to date. Under the direction of astronomer Dr. J. Allen Hynek, the project investigates over 12,000 reported sightings. While the majority are attributed to conventional explanations, approximately 700 cases remain classified as "unidentified," leaving enduring questions about their nature.

1970s-1990s
The Era of Silence and Skepticism
Following the closure of Project Blue Book, official government interest appears to evaporate. The UFO phenomenon becomes increasingly marginalized, relegated to the realm of conspiracy theories and fringe science. Despite periodic document releases through Freedom of Information Act requests, formal investigation programs remain dormant or classified.
2000s-2010s
Classified Programs Continue in Secret
Unknown to the public, the Pentagon maintains covert programs investigating unidentified aerial phenomena. The Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) operates in the shadows, analyzing military encounters with unexplained objects that demonstrate capabilities beyond known technology.

The New York Times Revelation
A groundbreaking investigation by The New York Times exposes the existence of AATIP, a secret Pentagon program funded with $22 million in black budget dollars. The revelation marks a seismic shift in the UFO conversation, lending institutional credibility to a long-stigmatized topic. Simultaneously, the Pentagon releases three declassified videos—"Gimbal," "GoFast," and "FLIR1"—showing Navy pilots encountering physics-defying objects.

Navy Updates Reporting Guidelines
In response to increased pilot encounters, the U.S. Navy formally revises its procedures for reporting unidentified aerial phenomena. The new guidelines aim to destigmatize reporting among military personnel and establish standardized documentation protocols, acknowledging that numerous aviators have witnessed unexplainable objects exhibiting extraordinary flight characteristics.

Establishment of the UAP Task Force
The Department of Defense officially establishes the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF), marking the first acknowledged government UAP investigation program in decades. The task force's mission: to detect, analyze, and catalog UAPs that could potentially pose threats to U.S. national security.

Congressional Mandate for Transparency
Buried within the COVID-19 relief bill, Congress mandates that the Director of National Intelligence and Secretary of Defense deliver a comprehensive, unclassified report on UAPs within 180 days. This legislative requirement represents unprecedented congressional interest and signals a new era of potential government transparency.
June 2021
The Preliminary Assessment Report
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence releases its highly anticipated UAP report to Congress. The nine-page preliminary assessment acknowledges 144 military encounters with unexplained aerial objects between 2004 and 2021, with only one definitively identified. The report candidly admits that most UAPs remain unexplained and could represent advanced technology from foreign adversaries, breakthrough U.S. programs, or phenomena not yet understood by science.
2022
All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO)
The Pentagon upgrades its UAP investigation infrastructure by establishing AARO, replacing the UAPTF with expanded authorities and resources. This permanent office consolidates efforts across military branches and intelligence agencies to investigate anomalous phenomena in air, space, and maritime domains.
July 2023
Whistleblower Testimony Before Congress
In extraordinary televised hearings, former intelligence officer David Grusch testifies under oath before the House Oversight Committee, alleging that the U.S. government possesses retrieved craft of non-human origin and has been reverse-engineering alien technology for decades. Alongside testimony from Navy pilots Ryan Graves and David Fravor, the hearing captivates global attention and reignites demands for full disclosure.

2023-Present
The Ongoing Investigation
Congressional oversight intensifies with bipartisan support for UAP transparency legislation. Multiple hearings, classified briefings, and legislative efforts continue to push for greater disclosure. The scientific community begins serious academic study of the phenomenon while AARO processes hundreds of new reports annually. The conversation has permanently shifted from "Do UFOs exist?" to "What are they, and who's operating them?"
