Alejandro Rojas

Career Overview

Alejandro Rojas is a prominent journalist and UFO researcher who has become one of the field's most visible public advocates in the disclosure era. Over the past decade-and-a-half, he has worked to position UFO research as a credible scientific pursuit rather than fringe speculation, serving as a translator between the research community and mainstream audiences through documentaries, broadcast media, and public speaking.

MUFON and Field Investigation

Rojas served for several years as the official spokesperson, Director of Public Education, and field investigator for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), one of the world's largest civilian UFO research organizations. In that role, he conducted hands-on investigations of reported anomalous phenomena and became known for applying rigorous analytical methods to sighting claims. His work with MUFON coincided with a period of growing mainstream credibility for UAP research, particularly following the 2004 Nimitz encounter and subsequent Navy pilot testimonies.

Media and Content Platform Leadership

As Director of Operations for Open Minds Production, Rojas became editor and leading voice for OpenMinds.tv, one of the web's most comprehensive UAP news and research platforms. The site aggregates credible reporting, hosts interviews with researchers and witnesses, and curates analysis of newly released UAP documentation. He has also hosted and produced the Open Minds UFO Radio program, reaching audiences interested in substantive—rather than sensationalized—coverage of the topic. His journalism has appeared in the Huffington Post, Den of Geek, the Roswell Daily Record, and other mainstream and specialized publications.

Science and Institutional Work

More recently, Rojas became Head of Research and Content at Enigma Labs, a data and research platform dedicated to analyzing UAP sightings at scale. He also serves as a founding board member and Director of Public Relations for the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU), an organization of credentialed scientists working to establish rigorous methodologies for UAP investigation. This move reflects broader professionalization of the field, with Rojas helping bridge independent research and institutional credibility.

Public Advocacy and Commentary

Rojas has become a frequent voice in discussions of government UAP transparency and the role of scientific analysis in resolving sighting cases. In 2024–2025 congressional hearings on UAP, he offered measured criticism of the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), not dismissing their work but noting frustration with the politically charged tone of some oversight proceedings. He has argued that cross-referencing newly declassified UAP files against public sighting databases could identify patterns currently obscured by classification—a data-driven approach consistent with his emphasis on rigorous investigation.

International Presence

Rojas serves as emcee and co-organizer of the annual International UFO Congress, one of the largest gatherings of UFO researchers, witnesses, and media figures. He is a regular guest on broadcast media including Coast to Coast AM, BBC, NBC, Fox, MSNBC, Syfy, National Geographic, and the Travel Channel. His media appearances have given him a platform to articulate the case for serious scientific attention to UAP phenomena.
