/ Operating structure

Four pillars. One mission.

The network runs on four divisions — each with its own standards, leadership, and member pathway. Together they convert curiosity into credible, sustained investigation.

/ Pillar 01

Research Division

Document & analyze

Members collect and review sightings, video, radar returns, historical case files, government releases, ocean anomalies, and aviation incidents — under formal evidence-review and source-verification standards.

  • Case file review
  • Source verification
  • Witness interviews
  • Radar & flight-data analysis
  • Historical archive curation
/ Pillar 02

Training Division

Build investigators

Certification tracks that teach members how to investigate responsibly: methodology, OSINT, FOIA, media verification, hoax detection, aviation and radar fundamentals, and ethics.

  • Field investigation basics
  • Witness interviewing
  • Media verification & hoax detection
  • FOIA & OSINT
  • Aviation, radar & oceanic fundamentals
/ Pillar 03

Advocacy & Policy

Push for transparency

Organized civic action for declassification, whistleblower protections, pilot reporting safety, oceanic anomaly research funding, and public access to information.

  • Government transparency campaigns
  • Pilot & witness protections
  • Aviation safety reporting
  • Scientific funding initiatives
  • Congressional & local outreach
/ Pillar 04

Regional Chapters

Investigate locally

Chapters host meetings, run local investigations, train new members, and organize public events — turning a website into a movement on the ground.

  • Chapter meetings & briefings
  • Local case investigation teams
  • USO & coastal research units
  • Public events & symposiums
  • New-member onboarding

Every pillar is governed by the same evidence and ethics standards. Read them before you contribute.
