CRIDOVNI — UFO Report Reception and Investigation Commission
Comisión Receptora e Investigadora de Denuncias de Objetos Voladores No Identificados
Component of Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya
Uruguay's official UFO commission, inside the Air Force since 1979 — a standing body, not a historical curiosity.
No scorecard yet
Aletheca has not filed with this body, so there is nothing to measure. A zero here would read as “releases nothing” rather than “never asked”, which is why the row is absent instead of empty. Filing outside the United States is not yet supported, so for now this record is for reading and routing.

Routes marked verified were fetched and confirmed against the body’s own official pages; those marked unconfirmed are well documented but have not been checked here, and none has been proven by a delivered letter. Aletheca cannot yet originate a request outside the United States — this record exists so a request about these holdings can be routed to the right door.
What it holds
- Case files on some two thousand reports received since 1979, with a small unexplained residue
- Field investigation reports and witness interviews
- Periodic public summaries; portions of the archive were opened to researchers in 2009
Record classes this kind of body normally keeps. Useful for drafting a request a records officer can act on without guessing — a request describing records the agency does not hold is refused as no-records, which costs a filing fee and teaches nobody anything.
Filing tips
- The oldest standing official UAP commission in the Americas (1979), and still active — ask for case summaries by year.
- Ley 18.381's silence rule favours the requester: no answer in 20 business days creates a right of access.
