Project Aquarius is MUFON’s digital research library, accessible at projectaquarius.mufon.com. MUFON claims it may be the world’s largest online UFO/UAP research library. Access is restricted to MUFON members. The library’s name matches the designation of one of the most controversial alleged US government UAP programmes — Project Aquarius — referenced in the MJ-12 documents and in NSA and DIA records.
What the Library Contains
- MARRS Data (MUFON Anomaly Research and Reporting System): all paper-submitted UFO sighting reports prior to the year 2000, scanned and digitised
- Newspaper clippings and magazine articles: historical press coverage of UAP going back to medieval-era reports per MUFON’s own description
- Historic MUFON Journals: the complete archive of MUFON’s monthly publication dating back decades
- MUFON Symposium Proceedings: every annual symposium proceedings manual, preserving research that was never published elsewhere
- Visual sighting maps: interactive geographic displays of case locations (still under construction per current site)
- Donated private collections: materials contributed by individual researchers, investigators, and collectors
The Name
The name Project Aquarius carries deliberate weight. The alleged US government Project Aquarius is referenced in multiple contested documents as the umbrella programme for all UAP-related intelligence activities, including MJ-12’s operations, reverse engineering programmes, and contact protocols. Whether or not the government programme exists as described, MUFON’s choice to name its flagship research library Project Aquarius is a direct signal about what the library is intended to represent: the comprehensive civilian counterpart to whatever the government holds.
Access and Cost
Project Aquarius requires MUFON membership. Enhanced membership ($119.88/year) provides access to 30 days of MUFON TV and symposium live streams. VIP membership ($299.88/year) includes the full membership kit. The database itself — Project Aquarius — is accessible to all paying members. The CMS sighting database (MARRS + submitted cases) is also behind the membership wall, with MUFON explicitly asserting copyright over all media and narratives in its Case Management System.
