Deep within the Vatican’s archives lies a vast collection of documents chronicling unusual aerial events observed over centuries. These records, safeguarded with great care, suggest that the Catholic Church has dedicated significant resources to monitoring and analyzing unidentified aerial occurrences reported by its global network. In 2019, a rare opportunity emerged when Father Giuseppe Romano, a senior archivist at the Vatican’s Secret Archives, allowed restricted access to portions of this collection. The content reveals a meticulous approach to documenting aerial anomalies, highlighting the Vatican’s systematic efforts to investigate events that remain unexplained.

Father Romano shared insights into how the Church has compiled reports from its worldwide network. “Missionaries stationed in remote regions have historically provided some of the most detailed accounts,” he stated during an exclusive interview. “These records often come from individuals with no prior knowledge of such occurrences, lending credibility to their observations.” One such account, dating back to 1976, involved Father Carlos Martinez, a missionary in rural Paraguay. His report described a massive, silent object hovering over the village church for approximately 15 minutes, witnessed by dozens of parishioners. Father Martinez included detailed sketches with his report, showing a metallic disk approximately 120 feet in diameter, with pulsing lights arranged in geometric formations. Witnesses reported a low-frequency vibration that caused the church’s windows to tremble.

The Vatican’s interest in aerial occurrences extends beyond documentation. In 1994, the Church established the Advanced Research Group for Astronomical Studies (ARGAS), which operates under direct papal oversight. While publicly described as an astronomical research initiative, internal memos reveal that ARGAS dedicates significant resources to analyzing unidentified aerial events. A former researcher, who spoke under conditions of anonymity, disclosed the organization’s broad scope. “We reviewed hundreds of reports each year, many originating from senior clergy,” she explained. “These cases often included physical evidence or highly credible witness accounts.” Advanced facilities, including spectrographic analysis tools and materials testing laboratories, support ARGAS’s investigations.

The Vatican’s research infrastructure extends beyond ARGAS. The publicly known Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT) in Arizona represents only the visible portion of the Church’s observational capabilities. Confidential sources have confirmed that the Vatican operates at least three undisclosed observatories in remote regions of South America, Eastern Europe, and Southeast Asia. These observatories utilize state-of-the-art equipment, including infrared imaging systems and gravitational anomaly detectors, to monitor unexplained aerial activity.
