The United States Air Force (USAF) is the aerial warfare service branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, established as an independent military branch on July 26, 1947. Headquartered at The Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia, the USAF operates approximately 5,500 military aircraft and employs over 321,000 active duty personnel. Its core missions include air superiority, global integrated intelligence/surveillance/reconnaissance, rapid global mobility, global strike, and command and control. Notably, the USAF conducted systematic investigations of unidentified flying objects through Project Blue Book (1947–1969), which evaluated 12,618 UFO reports, of which 701 remained classified as unidentified; the program concluded that no investigated sightings posed a national security threat or represented extraterrestrial vehicles.
