Creation of the AIAA UAP Community of Interest (COI)

The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) is the world’s largest aerospace technical society. It has around 30,000 individual members from 91 different countries.

Our COI mission is to improve aviation safety by enhancing scientific knowledge, and mitigating barriers to, the study of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (#UAP). AIAA UAP Community of Interest.

The goals of the COI are:
1. Serve as a neutral focal point enhancing activities that integrate aviation safety related UAP data and analysis into relevant scientific/engineering aspects of aviation development, design, and safety planning across the aviation/space systems.

2. Interact with appropriate AIAA Committees, government agencies, academic institutions and international researchers and organizations associated with the scientific/engineering study and understanding of UAP.

3. Engage with the scientific and engineering research community to assist with educating the Aerospace community relative to aerospace safety factors of UAP.

–> After a first successful 2021 technical session, The AIAA UAP Community Of Interest (COI), a newly formed group, will discuss the implications of growing political and technical interest in UAP at the AIAA 2022 AIAA AVIATION Forum 27 June–1 July 2022, in Chicago (USA).

Initiated during 2009 and under the framework of the International Year of Astronomy, The UAP Observations Reporting Scheme is a project aimed at facilitating the collection of UAP reports from both amateur and professional astronomers, via a questionnaire to be downloaded from a dedicated website (www.uapreporting.org)
