CRIDOVNI (Comisión Receptora e Investigadora de Denuncias de Objetos Voladores No Identificados) has operated continuously since 1979, making it one of the oldest active government UFO bodies in the world. The commission is staffed by regular Air Force personnel who investigate in uniform with official vehicles. Col. Ariel Sánchez, a longtime CRIDOVNI director, confirmed in interviews that the commission treats extraterrestrial origin as a legitimate working hypothesis and publishes findings.
