The Sol Foundation is a new think tank that was established to advance wider understanding of UAP and serve as the leading source of research on the issue.

The Sol Foundation’s 2027 Symposium will take place in the spring of next year on the East Coast. Please visit thesolfoundation.org/2027-so… to sign up for information as it becomes available.

Likely the most significant record in today’s federal government UAP records release is the audio and transcript of a recording of a 1952 talk on then-recent UFO data and events by Captain Edward Ruppelt, the head of the US Air Force’s Project Blue Book in the early 1950s. The Sol Foundation will be reading and analyzing the record of this presentation as you do, and we’ll present our comments publicly soon. We again thank @RepEricBurlison and his staff for locating and declassifying this material.

The Sol Foundation wishes to recognize @RepEricBurlison for yet another victory against blanket UAP secrecy.
✅ We found it. ✅ We pushed for it. ✅ Now NARA confirms the 1952 "flying saucer talk" recording is digitized, declassified, and set for release. Transparency works when you fight for it.

The Sol Foundation wishes to thank the White House, @DepDNILukas, and the PURSUE release team for another tranche of UAP records, which includes a copy of the neglected footage of multiple UAP shot over Tremonton, Utah in 1952 by a Navy aviation photographer, who stated to Air Force investigators that the UAP were “large, disc-shaped, and brightly lit.” (Link of film in comments.) The film is a reminder that UAP were regularly observed in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s and that relevant government records from this period remain extraordinarily incomplete

Durham University professor and the Chair in Global Law and SETI Policy Michael Bohlander joins Dr. Peter Skafish of the Sol Foundation for a wide-ranging discussion of the legal questions surrounding UAP. They examine why classified claims remain so difficult to verify publicly, how secrecy can create constitutional and evidentiary problems, and why courts offer a different framework for evaluating witness testimony than the natural sciences. Most interestingly, Bohlander shares his thoughts of the implications that reported encounters with nonhuman intelligence could have for human rights, international law, and sovereignty.

British MP Clive Lewis recently shared with the Sol Foundation the UK Ministry of Defense’s answers to his inquiries about UAP, stating that the openness of other Five Eyes governments about the phenomena raises questions about whether the UK government is being transparent and democratically accountable.

In a groundbreaking conversation, British MP Clive Lewis joins Peter Skafish of the Sol Foundation for a discussion of UAP disclosure in the United Kingdom, including questions Lewis raised with the UK defense ministry, the contradictions in Five Eyes governments' public positions, and why further U.S. disclosure could force the UK to reveal what it knows. This is the most substantial, on-the-record discussion of UAP by a sitting British parliamentarian in more than two decades.

The Sol Foundation is launching a scientific study that will provide crucial guidance to both the President and Congress on how to conduct disclosure successfully and with minimal harm. To learn more and support this research, visit thesolfoundation.org/fund-th… This innovative study, led by epidemiologist Dr. Christopher Salazar and Dr. Peter Skafish, will help us understand, for the very first time, how Americans are likely to respond to different aspects of UAP disclosure announcements, including who delivers the news, what evidence is presented, how that evidence is verified, and how the message is framed. Using a research method known as a “discrete choice experiment,” a nationally representative sample of individuals will be asked to compare realistic disclosure scenarios. This will allow us to understand which combinations of evidence, messengers, and safeguards make disclosure feel credible, reassuring, confusing, or alarming. We will also investigate how reactions differ according to age, race, ethnicity, religion, family situation, prior UAP interest, and trust in government and science. The study's findings can be used to develop an evidence-based plan to execute and communicate disclosure in ways that build public trust, ease fear, and safeguard well-being. Additionally, the methods we employ could transform the study of encounters with UAP by broadening the focus to include not only individual reports and testimony but population-level data and mass, societal perception. Please consider supporting the study, which could seriously impact how the U.S. government executes disclosure: thesolfoundation.org/fund-th…

Our gratitude to Representative Burlison for his perseverance and efficacy in supporting UAP whistleblowing and establishing congressional governance of the UAP issue.
🚨 My office is now assisting qualified individuals seeking waivers from UAP-related nondisclosure agreements.

The Sol Foundation recognizes former intelligence official David Grusch’s offer of support to the Trump Administration for its current declassification and potential disclosure efforts, and we request thorough legal protections for David and other federal government UAP whistleblowers.
Former U.S. Air Force officer and military intelligence official, David Grusch claims to have seen highly classified photographic and video taped evidence of crashed UFOs/UAP and their non-human occupants (ALIENS)! He's asking President Trump for immunity so he can share w/the American people what he knows and help with disclosure.
