About Us

The Society for UAP Studies (SUAPS) is a nonprofit learned and professional society dedicated to redefining and redirecting the study of unidentified aerospace/anomalous phenomena (UAP), transforming it into a recognized academic field rather than merely a frontier science. Our approach draws upon multiple disciplines while remaining independent of any single academic framework.

At SUAPS, we uphold the highest standards of academic discourse, rigorous research, and critical debate, while acknowledging the epistemological challenges posed by UAP. We reject both uncritical belief and dogmatic skepticism, fostering an open yet disciplined intellectual space that critically examines what is currently thought to be known about UAP while remaining receptive to their more profoundly anomalous aspects.

Our work complements the efforts of other research organizations by focusing on meta-theoretic studies, examining how UAP research should be conducted and how "UAP Studies" itself ought to be conceived as a structured, interdisciplinary academic field. SUAPS promotes cross-disciplinary coordination between STEM fields, the humanities, and the social sciences, ensuring that UAP research engages meaningfully with fundamental questions about knowledge, science, truth, governance, and culture.

Beyond research, SUAPS is committed to education and outreach, actively developing a university-level UAP Studies curriculum that provides a clear pathway for integration into mainstream academia. We also publish Limina: The Journal of UAP Studies, a biannual, open-access peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing serious scholarship on UAP-related topics.

As a volunteer-driven organization, we seek dedicated professionals, researchers, and subject-matter experts who share our vision of establishing, expanding, and legitimizing UAP Studies as a rigorous, empirically accountable, and interdisciplinary academic field. By joining SUAPS, volunteers contribute to an emerging discipline while shaping the future of UAP research, education, and scholarly collaboration.
