From the article: "SCU members include an international assortment of scientists who have worked for prominent universities, technology and defence firms, as well as NASA, the Canadian Space Agency and the European Space Agency. At the conference, the UFO phenomena will be dissected from the perspective of physics, aerospace engineering and even philosophy and anthropology. Mellon shares top billing with former U.S. air force scientist Randy Bostick, who previously advised the Pentagon’s UFO...

As a reminder to the UAP community interested in the role of scientific research and government, the 2026 SCU Conference on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena will convene 19 scientists and kick off with a keynote by former Pentagon intelligence official Christopher Mellon.

We’ve just released a new SCU study examining UAP operational behavior across 1,000+ vetted incidents from 1945–1975. The data shows this is not a large fleet. It’s a small, resource‑constrained, centrally coordinated presence conducting targeted monitoring with adaptive behavior. Apparent restraint should not be mistaken for limited capability or benign intent — a small footprint can mask a far broader behavioral range. Our analysis reveals a long‑duration reconnaissance mission focused on a...
