The United States Air Force is the air service branch of the United States Armed Forces, officially established on September 18, 1947, via the National Security Act of 1947. It operates under the Department of the Air Force (within the Department of Defense) and articulates its core mission as providing global vigilance, reach, and power through air superiority, integrated intelligence/surveillance/reconnaissance, rapid global mobility, global strike, and command and control. The Air Force maintains significant historical involvement in unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) investigations, notably conducting Project Blue Book (1952–1969), which examined 12,618 reported UFO sightings and identified U-2 reconnaissance flights as accounting for more than half of late-1950s and 1960s UFO reports. The organization continues to play a central role in contemporary UAP examination programs.
