Gallaudet is a prominent member of the UFO community. He says he has seen footage of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) and unidentified submerged objects (USO) while on active duty in the U.S. Navy,[4] and has expressed support for David Grusch's whistleblower claims in US Congress, calling for the "de-stigmatization" of the subject across science, the military and the general public.[5] He is on the advisory board of Americans for Safe Aerospace, which describes itself as a "military pilot-led nonprofit organization focused on UAP".[6] He is a research affiliate with Avi Loeb's Galileo Project that searches for evidence of extraterrestrial technological artifacts.[7]
