Lockheed Martin Corporation is a major American aerospace and defense contractor formed on March 15, 1995, through the merger of Lockheed Corporation (founded 1926) and Martin Marietta Corporation (founded 1912). Headquartered in North Bethesda, Maryland, it serves as a primary supplier to the U.S. Department of Defense, with approximately 73% of revenues derived from the federal government. The company operates four main business divisions: Aeronautics (fighter jets and transport aircraft), Missiles and Fire Control, Rotary and Mission Systems (helicopters and naval systems), and Space (spacecraft and satellites). Skunk Works, formally known as Advanced Development Programs (ADP), is Lockheed Martin's classified research and development arm based in Palmdale, California, responsible for designing exotic military aircraft including the U-2 spyplane, SR-71 Blackbird, F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter, F-22 Raptor, and F-35 Lightning II. In recent public discourse regarding unidentified aerospace phenomena, Lockheed Martin and its Skunk Works division have been subjects of speculation regarding potential classified UAP/UFO-related programs, though no official government confirmation exists.

A Lockheed Martin Corporation é uma importante empresa aeroespacial e de defesa americana formada em 15 de março de 1995, através da fusão da Lockheed Corporation (fundada em 1926) e da Martin Marietta Corporation (fundada em 1912). Sediada em North Bethesda, Maryland, funciona como fornecedora primária do Departamento de Defesa dos EUA, com aproximadamente 73% das receitas derivadas do governo federal. A empresa opera quatro divisões comerciais principais: Aeronáutica (caças e aeronaves de transporte), Mísseis e Controle de Fogo, Sistemas Rotativos e Missões (helicópteros e sistemas navais) e Espaço (naves espaciais e tecnologia de satélites). Skunk Works, formalmente conhecido como Advanced Development Programs (ADP), é o braço de pesquisa e desenvolvimento classificado da Lockheed Martin, sediado em Palmdale, Califórnia, responsável pelo projeto de aeronaves militares exóticas, incluindo o espião U-2, SR-71 Blackbird, caça invisível F-117 Nighthawk, F-22 Raptor e F-35 Lightning II. Em discussões públicas recentes sobre fenômenos aeroespaciais não identificados, a Lockheed Martin e sua divisão Skunk Works foram objetos de especulação sobre possíveis programas classificados relacionados à UAP/OVNI, embora nenhuma confirmação oficial do governo exista.
