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.

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.

INDIA'S STRATEGIC POSITION

India must act.
Now.

UAPs have been sighted near Indian nuclear facilities, civilian airports, military airbases and strategic naval routes. The world is building frameworks. India has none — a direct risk to strategic autonomy, forcing her to balance or bandwagon with powers that already have a head start.

DOCUMENTED INCIDENT SOVEREIGN AIRSPACE

2012

Over 100 ITBP reports filed to Delhi HQ and the PMO

Ladakh. Objects non-metallic, radar-invisible; a reconnaissance drone lost visual contact on investigation.

2018

Lockdown at the PM's Lok Kalyan Marg residence

Investigation dropped with no public conclusion.

2023

Rafales scrambled over Imphal airport

Nothing identified. No public report released.

2026

Still no reporting framework, research body, or official position

RTI responses: national security exception, no record, no mandate.

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 →
Dark disc-shaped craft photographed against a pale sky, no wings, exhaust or control surfaces visible
01

Speed without a sonic boom

Supersonic and hypersonic travel with no shockwave, no heat signature, and no acoustic trace.

02

Sudden and acute turns

Instantaneous direction changes at velocities that would destroy any airframe and crew we can build.

03

No visible propulsion

No exhaust, no control surfaces, no rotors — and, per AARO, no explanation on the public record.

04

Transmedium travel

Movement between air, water and space without deceleration at the boundary.

05

Signals management

Low observability, radar jamming, and documented interference with aircraft weapons and comms systems.

Technological Developments in the Space Domain: The Challenges for India

INDIA FOUNDATION JOURNAL · JAN–FEB 2024

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.

HOW WE CAN HELP

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.

01

Predict industry impact

Anticipate the repercussions of UAPs on your sector's future, and navigate the uncharted waters ahead.

02

Effective communication

The right sound bites and the essential information to engage the public and the press with confidence.

03

Research guidance

Where the urgent gaps are, so your effort lands on the questions that actually matter.

04

Strategic campaigns

Design and execute research projects and political campaigns built for maximum impact.

05

Informed decision-making

Concise, critical updates on every UAP development, so decisions are made on current ground truth.

06

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.

FOUNDER

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.
