Department of Defense
The Department of Defense (DoD) is a United States government agency responsible for coordinating and supervising national security and military policies. It has been involved in UAP and UFO research, particularly through initiatives like the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), which aimed to investigate unidentified aerial phenomena. The DoD's involvement lends significant credibility to UAP research due to its access to military resources and intelligence.
