Founder & Director

"We do not speculate. We investigate. Every claim is subjected to the same rigorous scrutiny we would apply to any scientific inquiry."

— Charles Heimlich, Founder & Director

The National UFO Association was established to bring credibility, methodology, and transparency to fields of inquiry long dismissed by mainstream institutions. Our researchers apply forensic, scientific, and historical analysis to phenomena that demand serious attention.
