Worth Revisiting
The Sol Foundation’s UAP Research Code of Conduct organizes its guidance around reliability, honesty, respect, and accountability. It calls for accurate records, transparent methods, proportionate claims, correction of errors, disclosure of conflicts, responsible authorship, and communication that does not exaggerate uncertain findings.
The code also addresses conditions specific to UAP work, including witness vulnerability, stigma, confidentiality, alleged classified information, and the social consequences of sensational claims. It is an ethical framework, not validation of Sol’s preferred hypotheses or of any individual case.
Why it matters
Clear conduct rules can protect witnesses and improve evidence quality while giving readers a standard against which to judge research behavior—not just conclusions.
