Are We Alone?

Are We Alone?

Author // Ross Coulthart
The NHIR Institute provides a detailed overview of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) and the ongoing government investigations into this mysterious and historically stigmatized topic. It discusses the Five Observables, which define UAPs, and the extensive efforts by senior politicians and intelligence agencies to push for transparency and disclosure of UAP-related information. The article also presents the allegations of reverse engineering of non-human technology and raises questions about the government's longstanding suppression of UAP information. The implications of these revelations are significant, suggesting a shift in attitudes towards UAPs and potentially impacting national security and public trust in government institutions. This serves as a reminder of the ongoing interest and scrutiny surrounding UAPs and their potential implications for our understanding of the world around us.

Australia's Real X-Files: How Top Australian Government Scientists Pushed To Investigate UFOs

Author // Ross Coulthart
For 11 years, between 1952 and 1963, the British Government conducted open air nuclear tests in Australia, at the Montebello Islands off Western Australia and at the remote outback sites of Maralinga and Emu Field in South Australia’s Great Victoria Desert. Among the many who worked on these secret tests was a young physicist called Harry Turner. What he witnessed and investigated during his time in the desert – mysterious unidentified anomalous phenomena – galvanised his view that UAPs are very real and that they should be taken seriously and properly investigated. It is fitting in this our inaugural news feature for NHIR’s website launch, to pay tribute to the scientific rigour and curiosity shown by Harry, who went on to become one of Australia’s most senior defence intelligence scientists. His story is of a scientist who defied the ridicule and stigma thrown at the UAP-UFO mystery. It’s a narrative that challenges the mainstream largely default assumption that Governments and scientists have always ridiculed and dismissed the subject of UAPs.
Is witness evidence data?

Is witness evidence data?

Author // Ross Coulthart
For thousands of years, humans have reported seeing strange objects which are incapable of prosaic explanation. So, NHIR’s view is that firsthand witness evidence is significant, but it has its limitations
Rony Vernet Amazon Expedition Report

Rony Vernet Amazon Expedition Report

Author // Ross Coulthart
NHIRI is proud to have Rony associated with us as a member of our UAP research team. His exciting Amazon research, which includes a multi-sensor ground station and camera platform now based permanently on location, feeding data back to Rony’s home base in Rio De Janeiro, is one of the first scientific projects sponsored by NHIRI. This article details Rony’s ground-breaking scientific verification, both on camera and in person, of apparently intelligent multi-coloured UAP orbs engaging with and apparently observing him and local Yananawa tribespeople.
Some common misidentifications

NHIR would take issue with any assertion that the vast majority of UAPs are “almost certainly” the result of misidentification without first seeing hard evidence to support such a claim.

In February 2024, the US Department of Defense UAP investigation office AARO, the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, presented what it described as a historical report into US Government involvement with UAP
What constitutes sufficient proof of NHI?

What constitutes sufficient proof of NHI?

Author // Ross Coulthart
Some scientists and commentators have asserted that because in their view UAPs are paranormal or supernatural, they are beyond the realm of nature and incapable of scientific investigation.
