PIONEERING INDIAN UAP RESEARCH — EST. 2023
India's Home for UAP Research.
UAPs are no longer fringe science. They're a geopolitical frontier — and India needs to lead the conversation.
- SOVEREIGN AIRSPACE
- NUCLEAR FACILITIES
- NAVAL ROUTES
- INDIAN FRAMEWORK — NONE
ABOUT UAP-I
2023
ACTIVE SINCE
We pioneer Indian research leadership in the UAP domain.
Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena are real — the US government confirmed it. India now needs a framework for reporting, research and strategic response. We exist to bridge the gap between global UAP disclosure and Indian public awareness, policy and security.

WITNESSED SOMETHING UNEXPLAINED?
Your report contributes to building India's first civilian UAP database.
WHAT MAKES THEM DIFFERENT
Beyond any known human engineering.
Pentagon reports, whistleblowers and military aviators consistently describe the same impossible performance profile — across decades, across nations.
READ OUR ANALYSIS →
01Speed without a sonic boom
Supersonic and hypersonic travel with no shockwave, no heat signature, and no acoustic trace.
02Sudden and acute turns
Instantaneous direction changes at velocities that would destroy any airframe and crew we can build.
03No visible propulsion
No exhaust, no control surfaces, no rotors — and, per AARO, no explanation on the public record.
04Transmedium travel
Movement between air, water and space without deceleration at the boundary.
05Signals management
Low observability, radar jamming, and documented interference with aircraft weapons and comms systems.

Why India must lead this conversation.
UAPs have been sighted near Indian airspace, nuclear facilities and strategic military zones. The world is moving forward while India lacks any framework. That needs to change.
The Skies India Won't Look At
A documented encounter record, a live intelligence gap on the most contested border, and no institutional response whatsoever.

Technological Developments in the Space Domain: The Challenges for India
Founder Amog Nair argues that India's silence on UAPs is a strategic failure. Despite regular ITBP encounters, a 2018 sighting near the PM's residence, and ISRO's collaboration on NASA's UAP-capable NISAR platform, India has no reporting framework, no investigation body and no official position. While the US, China and Russia race to understand — and potentially reverse-engineer — UAP technology, India's inaction risks its long-term strategic autonomy.

Expertise for the institutions that will have to answer for this.
Studying this topic is a full-time undertaking: no formal education exists, the information landscape is murky, and the community is rife with infighting. We do that work so you don't have to.
Predict industry impact
Anticipate the repercussions of UAPs on your sector's future, and navigate the uncharted waters ahead.
Effective communication
The right sound bites and the essential information to engage the public and the press with confidence.
Research guidance
Where the urgent gaps are, so your effort lands on the questions that actually matter.
Strategic campaigns
Design and execute research projects and political campaigns built for maximum impact.
Informed decision-making
Concise, critical updates on every UAP development, so decisions are made on current ground truth.
Educated content creation
Accurate, engaging material for news and media outlets that want to cover this seriously.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Government & public sector
National security, air safety and public trust — silence only deepens distrust.
Aviation, aerospace & defence
Pilot protocols, data infrastructure, and risk to classified test programmes.
Universities & research groups
Interdisciplinary programmes, scientific credibility, and shared findings.
News, media & entertainment
Sourcing, sharper questions, and an end to recycled debunked footage.

Amog Nair
Researcher and advocate. Three years of deep UAP research, including academic work during an MA in Space and Telecom Law at NALSAR University. The conclusion: India is dangerously behind on this issue, and someone needed to start closing the gap. That's what UAP-I is for.
