FAQ

We know the questions are as important as the answers. Whether you're a defense and aerospace professional or a researcher seeking to learn more, here’s what you need to know about Skywatcher.

What is Skywatcher, and what do you do?

Skywatcher is an independent initiative focused on aerial intelligence, advanced sensing, and unconventional aerospace research. We combine expertise from special operations, intelligence, and aviation to analyze flight dynamics, electromagnetic signatures, and sensor anomalies in the airspace.

Is Skywatcher a direct extension, surrogate for, or acting as a public messaging conduit for the US Government or any element of the US Intelligence Community?

No. Skywatcher is an independent and private entity. While our team is composed of many subject matter experts who are former members of the US Government, we collaborate with industry experts, researchers, and policymakers. As an organization, we are committed to operating very transparently and independently from government agencies in service to the public good and in the interest of humanity.

Do you have physical materials or recovered craft?

Skywatcher is actively engaged in the public recovery and analysis of exotic aerospace materials. While we do not currently claim possession of such materials, our research, partnerships, and field operations are strategically designed to identify, analyze, and, when possible, secure physical evidence for rigorous public examination.

Will your findings be made public?

Skywatcher believes in responsible transparency. While some research is conducted with private-sector partners, we prioritize making key insights available through reports, briefings, and select public releases.

How do you differentiate between conventional and unconventional aerospace events?

Our process is rooted in multi-sensor validation, electromagnetic analysis, and kinematic profiling. We examine speed, acceleration, energy output, and maneuverability against known aerospace technologies to filter conventional aircraft from anomalies.

Can independent researchers or organizations collaborate with you?

Yes. We welcome collaboration with experts in physics, aerospace engineering, defense technology, and advanced sensing. Our goal is to refine methodologies and expand the understanding of aerial phenomena.

Do you conduct field investigations or recover data from past UAP cases?

While our focus is forward-looking, we do technically assess historical sensor data and validated case studies. If legacy cases provide useful telemetry or performance data, they are integrated into our broader research efforts.

How does Skywatcher fund its research?

Skywatcher is funded through private partnerships and professional consulting engagements. We maintain independence by ensuring funding sources align with our mission of rigorous, transparent aerospace research.

Will there be public events or briefings?

Yes. Skywatcher aims to provide updates through public briefings, industry conferences, and controlled data releases. Our goal is to engage professionals and the public in meaningful discussions about aerial intelligence and aerospace phenomena.
