Research and Insight for the 21st Century

The reality of UAP raises endless questions about science, society, what it means to be human, and the nature of nonhuman intelligence. Sol takes an audacious yet rigorous but approach to finding answers, investigating not just incidents in which UAP are observed but the science behind their maneuverability and energy requirements, patterns to be found in witness reports and narratives, their impact on society, culture, and religion, and how government, civil society, and the private sector can respond.

Sol is currently scaling up its efforts to verify, understand, and recommend action concerning the reality of UAP through our academic and policy research. Our current and upcoming projects include research in the following areas:

  • Scientific research into the composition of materials potentially originating from UAP technologies and vehicles; analysis of aerospace data and observations of UAP concerning their morphology, performance characteristics as observed, and [other]; the possible physics and energy requirement of UAP.  
  • Social scientific and humanities research, including epidemiological and ethnographic research into the likely decision-making of American following government disclosure; social science research concerning the nature and possible origins of “nonhuman intelligences” ostensibly witnessed during UAP events; AI-driven knowledge graph analysis of the history of US government secrecy. 
  • Policy research on an executive branch pathway to disclosure; the need for legislative branch governance of UAP; the constitutional and legal issues raised by “legacy” program secrecy; international cooperation and human security; and a national science plan.
