Abstract
This national study, the first of its kind to thoroughly examine faculty evaluations, explanations, and experiences regarding UAP, involved 1460 tenured and tenure-track faculty across 14 disciplines at 144 major research universities. Results showed that faculty believe academic evaluation of UAP information and more academic research on this topic are important. Curiosity outweighed skepticism or indifference. Faculty were aware of reports but not legislation. Faculty varied in personal explanations for UAP, and nearly one-fifth reported UAP observations. The implications of these results for the future of the academic study of UAP are discussed.
