SETI Institute

Lead humanity’s quest to understand the origins and prevalence of life and intelligence in the universe and share that knowledge with the world.
We are exploring the solar system for life, from Mars to the icy moons of the outer solar system. Partnering with NASA, we seek chemical signs of life on other worlds. We also search for signals from advanced civilizations using the Allen Telescope Array, the Very Large Array in New Mexico, and our LaserSETI global observatory.

The SETI Institute is the world’s only research organization devoted to the search for life and intelligence beyond Earth.

Our research efforts depend on:
Ground and space-based optical telescopes
Radio telescopes and interferometers
Advanced signal processing technology
Laboratory research
Field expeditions
Theoretical studies
AI and advanced data analytics

Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies

SCU is a research organization of scientists, researchers, and professionals from across organizations, governments, and industries to scientifically and publicly explore anomalous phenomena known around the world as UAPs, UFOs, USOs, and OVNIs

The Galileo Project

Creating mainstream, transparent, validated and systematic scientific research on UAP

GEIPAN

GEIPAN is the French UAP research and information group created by CNES, the French national space agency in 1977. Their mission is to collect, analyse and archives information on unidentified aerospace phenomena (UAP) and inform the public about their research results.

All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO)

AARO is the U.S. Department of War’s office for addressing UAP issues. Oft maligned by the UAP community and Congress, they have historically been viewed as a vehicle for obfuscation. As of May of 2026, Congress appears to have a more positive attitude towards the AARO group.
