ARCHETYPE: "(in Jungian theory) a primitive mental image inherited from the earliest human ancestors, and supposed to be present in the collective unconscious".
Project Archetype arises because we cannot dismiss the psychological aspect of UAPs and the search for intelligence beyond Earth. Yes, the technological part of this topic is very interesting, but knowing how our mind interacts, copes and responds to it could be even more. Social Sciences represent a key domain in this endeavor.
UAP stands for unidentified aerial phenomenon or "anomalous phenomena", as noted in the title of the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP). "Anomalous aerial vehicle" (AAV) or "unidentified aerial system" (UAS) are also sometimes used in a military aviation context to describe unidentified targets.
The Pentagon has confirmed as authentic a series of previously known videos of UAPs captured by F18 FLIR (infrared) cameras at different occasions and locations.
During a long time, these videos generated a controversy because the objects in the videos apparently maneuver at impossible speed and G forces. After an official report made public a few months ago, questions populate the social networks, press and media in general, including the scientific community. Recent Project Galileo rapidly becoming the reference into this new scientific interest in UAPs but also NASA has recently showed some interest on this topic.
Why is people fascinated about this topic? How does our mind cope and handle this? What impact these UAP events, subsequent official reports, press articles, media debate, etc. may have in both scientific community and general population?
Is there a psychological component in the UAP phenomena?

To assess the psychological impact, perception and impressions of UAPs in the population and scientific community we request your kind collaboration to participate in this anonymous survey.
The data collected will be kept and will be processed for research purposes within the framework of the Project Archetype to evaluate the impact, impressions and scope of UAP psychological implications.
By participating in the survey, you consent to the processing of that data by the participating and research team of this project. In no case will data other than that requested be saved by researchers, nor will data be intended to identify participants, such as online identifiers, device identifiers, or fingerprints, be collected by project members. This is a voluntary survey. You must be 18 or older to participate.
Please note that this survey can only be done ONCE and at ONCE, NO SAVE to finish later option is available.
The survey will take around 15 minutes of your time.
