Synopsis

“This is the most rigorous, evidence‑based assessment of UFO intentions ever published.”—ROSS COULTHART, author of In Plain Sight: An Investigation Into UFOs and Impossible Science

Are they real? Are they intelligent? What are their intentions?

These are the key questions about UFOs. In UFO Intentions all those questions are addressed—not based on mere speculation or discussion of case after case, but instead based on six years of highly structured strategic intelligence studies derived from a curated database of officially reported, investigated, and vetted series of thirty years of incident reports. Given the decades of both military and public concern, readers will be shocked to find that even with an early consensus on the importance of the “UFO Problem” by the Air Force and the CIA, the question of UFO intentions was never elevated to the highest levels study by the national intelligence community.

UFO Intentions addresses that failure by applying the structured analytics and practices of strategic intelligence to the problem, identifying, and highlighting the patterns that reveal major UFO missions. One mission directed towards atomic war fighting and recognition of the UFOs as intelligent actors. And a second mission, arising from the failure to acknowledge a structured series of UFO inferential messages and electronic signals, involving human behavioral studies

In addition to detailing the intelligent and evolving patterns of UFO behavior, readers will also find a full explanation of the methodology involved in the intention’s studies and a call to action to the current government UFO/UAP effort to release the foundational data which would allow structured intentions studies to be extended into the twenty-first century—something which the official inquiries are not doing at present.

Ian Porritt is a New Zealand-based astronomer and data analyst. He uses complex historical pattern analysis to better understand a variety of activity trends related to UFO/UAP activities over time and in multiple domains. Ian participated in the discovery of several exoplanets using gravitational microlensing from his home observatory in New Zealand, supporting microlensing surveys by capturing time‑critical photometric data used to model lensing events and reveal undiscovered exoplanets. This work reflects his long‑standing interest in astrophysical phenomena and his commitment to hands‑on scientific participation.

Joshua Pierson served twenty-five years with the US Army and has a Doctorate in Strategic Security. He is a leader in technology protection, insider threat detection, and illuminating adversarial capability and intent to target US and Allied Interests. He is the author of Detectable Signatures for UAP, which was written as his doctoral dissertation. Josh serves as the National Security Advisor to the SCU and the Society for UAP Studies.

Sean Grosvenor is a forensic consultant, retired from the Illinois State Police. Over his near twenty-five-year career, he served in various assignments, including major crimes task forces, internal affairs, crime scene investigations and executive command. He has a bachelor of science in Kinesiology and served as an adjunct instructor for the University of Illinois at Chicago Master of Forensic Science Program. Sean’s focus is on applying foundational principles of evidence to the study of advanced non-human intelligence.
