Company Sought to Make Aviation Authority a Hub for Sky Sightings

In March 2009, Bigelow Aerospace was working as part of a US Department of Defense program. A monthly report described an attempt to centralize reports of unidentified aerial observations.

The company did not document any specific sighting in the report. It aimed to establish a method for collecting and examining reports from various sources, and even sought to become the official channel for such reports for the US Aviation Authority.

Who Was Supposed to Receive the Reports?

The company tried to become the reporting hub for the US Aviation Authority. A reporting hub is an address where information is sent. If the request had been approved, the company would have centralized reports for the Authority.

The company operated under a program managed by the US Department of Defense's intelligence agency—an entity that collects and analyzes information for the Department. This is how the report described the company's activities that month.

Information from Various Sources

The company developed databases: systems that centralize and organize details. It also acquired information on unidentified phenomena from the MUFON organization and reviewed relevant materials published by foreign governments.

The report also describes work on receiving reports and investigating cases. The idea was to create a central location where information could be collected, stored, and analyzed. Among the sources mentioned were the organization from which information was purchased, publications by foreign governments, and reports the company sought to receive.

What Remains Unknown

The report does not specify which reports were collected or what was found in them. It also doesn't state whether the Aviation Authority accepted the request, or precisely who was supposed to send reports to the company. Since it does not describe a specific sighting, it also lacks a conventional explanation for any phenomenon.

Behind every single report here lies an attempt to build a single place to gather them all.
