The Journal of Scientific Exploration (JSE) has been publishing peer-reviewed research on UAP and other anomalous phenomena since 1987. Founded by former NASA scientists and academics from major research universities, JSE is the only major academic journal that has continuously published rigorous UAP research across nearly four decades. Its archives represent the academic backbone of serious UAP investigation outside government programs.
About JSE and the SSE
JSE is published by the Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE), founded in 1982. The SSE was established specifically to provide institutional legitimacy for the study of phenomena that mainstream science had declined to investigate. Founding members included academics from Stanford, Princeton, and other major research universities. The journal operates standard peer review. Papers are judged on methodology, not subject matter.
Key UAP Research Published in JSE
JSE has published landmark UAP research including: Sturrock’s 1994 analysis of physical evidence cases, Vallée and Davis’s 2003 paper on unusual isotopic ratios in UAP-associated material samples, the Stanford Research Institute’s remote viewing research (relevant to UAP program funding), and multiple analyses of the physics of reported UAP maneuvers. The journal also covers UAP-adjacent topics including near-death experiences, consciousness research, and other anomalous phenomena where mainstream journals decline publication.
The full JSE archive is accessible at scientificexploration.org/journal. All back issues are available. The journal continues to publish quarterly.
