Non-Human Intelligence
Eighty years of the public record. Free to explore.
NHI, or non-human intelligence, is the term now used by congressional committees, the Pentagon, and intelligence officials to describe what was historically called UFOs and is also referred to as UAP (unidentified anomalous phenomena). The phenomenon has produced eighty years of witness reports, government investigations, and declassified files. This archive collects the documentary record.

The Aerial Phenomena Research Organization is usually remembered as one of the two large American civilian UFO groups of the post-war period, a small Wisconsin outfit that grew through the Lorenzens' methodical case investigation. The 1953 to 1957 APRO Bulletin records something the standard accounts have downplayed: APRO was the documented civilian destination of credentialed government and military witnesses across that period, from the Chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee to a serving Air Force engineer.
