Chile Establishes CEFAA, Official Government UAP Investigation Programme

The Chilean government established the Committee for Study of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena under the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. CEFAA operates as an official state programme staffed by military officers and civilian scientists, investigating UAP reports from commercial and military aviation. Chile was among the first countries to maintain a permanent, publicly acknowledged government body dedicated to UAP research. CEFAA has released declassified investigation reports and video footage, and maintains formal cooperation agreements with France's GEIPAN.
