The Paradigm Research Group (PRG) is an organization focused on the study and advocacy of extraterrestrial life and its implications for humanity. Founded by Stephen Bassett in 1996, PRG aims to promote awareness and understanding of the potential existence of UFOs and alien life, as well as the need for government transparency regarding these topics. PRG conducts research, organizes events, and engages in public outreach to encourage dialogue about the implications of contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. The group also works to challenge the stigma surrounding discussions of UFOs and to push for the disclosure of information related to unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).
