CEFAA CHILE CEFAA (Committee of Studies of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena) Is currently the only mixed civil-governmental organization in the world dedicated to serious,scientific study of UFO. With Headquarters in Santiago Chile, in the grounds of the famous National Museum of Aeronautics and Space, CEFAA is internationally known for its open policy of sharing all information to foster knowledge on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). CEFAA gathers its information mainly from the Aeronautic community:Military, civilian and commercial pilots,air traffic controllers, but also from citizens at large and private investigators. CEFAA works from inside Chile's General Direction of Civil Aeronautics (DGAC)and its actual Director is Air Force Brigadier General (R) Ricardo Bermudez S. The Committee mainly investigates cases that may affect aviation safety but also attend public queries answering their questions and investigating cases of real interest. A team of specialists from all branches of aeronautics (air traffic controllers, meteorologists, aeronautic engineering, aircraft accident investigation etc.)is provided by DGAC and form what is called the Internal Committee. The main universities provide the needed scientific backing with doctorates from several disciplines such as Plasma Physics, Nuclear Chemistry, Electronics, Astronomy etc.)This important group of scientists form the External Committee. And a great asset is the active cooperation CEFAA obtains from the Chilean Armed Forces. Each branch has a liaison officer reporting to CEFAA and so does the National Police Corps (Carabineros) and Investigation Police.
