UAP HACKATHON | SAN FRANCISCO April 18 - April 20, 2025 @opennhi| @Deepneuron Developing an Open Source, Decentralized UAP Acquisitions Program Join the Humanity Soft-landing mission. It has been claimed for decades by an increasing number of prominent former government, military and intelligence officials, as well as private contractors, that private UAP recovery programs exist where a small number of humans are effectively acting as the gatekeeper of humanity’s greatest secrets.

This mission will focus on enabling a public service that will democratize UAP research and control and operate UAP related satellite constellations, UAVs, passive sensor networks and more.
