API is seeking alliances with other independent research groups
Here is our complete statement of the sort of alliances we are seeking.
In summary, so long as we can assure the protection of witness privacy, we want to establish exchange agreements with like-minded UFO research organizations. No money will change hands, – just information, expertise, and effort.

Conversation 6 – Alexander Wendt
Recorded: 17 May 2017
Released: 20 June 2017
Duration: 60 minutes
Host Marsha Barnhart welcomes Alexander Wendt of Ohio State University to talk about Sovereignty and UFOs.

Released: 27 July 2017
Duration: 64 minutes, 58 seconds
Marsha Barnhart talks to Dr. Mark Rodeghier, President and Scientific Director of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies. The Center was founded originally by Dr. J. Allen Hynek, who was a professor of astronomy at The Ohio State University, and later, chairman of the astronomy department at Northwestern University near Chicago, where the Center for UFO Studies is based. It is a privately funded UFO research group.
Dr. Rodeghier—who holds a BS in astrophysics from Indiana University and an M.A. and Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Illinois at Chicago—has headed the Center since 1986. He was a colleague of Dr. Hynek’s and shares the same passion for approaching the UFO/UAP phenomenon from a scientific point-of-view. His work at the Center for UFO Studies dovetails perfectly into his position as science director with the UFODATA Project, which is the subject of this episode.
