Peru
Peru's Oficina de Investigación de Fenómenos Aéreos Anómalos (OIFAA) was established in October 2001 inside the Fuerza Aérea del Perú (FAP) after the high-profile 1980 Mariano Melgar Air Base incident at La Joya — in which an FAP Sukhoi-22 pilot, Lt. Oscar Santamaría Huertas, was vectored to intercept an unidentified object and reported firing 64 cannon rounds with no observed effect.
Founding case — La Joya, April 1980
On 11 April 1980, an FAP base reported a stationary metallic spheroid at altitude. Lt. Oscar Santamaría Huertas was scrambled in a Sukhoi-22. His post-action report, partially declassified by FAP in 2007, describes the object "acelerando vertiginosamente fuera de mi alcance" after he opened fire from approximately 500 m.
OIFAA mission (verbatim, founding directive)
"La Oficina de Investigación de Fenómenos Aéreos Anómalos tendrá la responsabilidad de recibir, registrar, investigar y analizar las denuncias de fenómenos aéreos anómalos en el espacio aéreo nacional, así como de cooperar con organismos similares de otros países en el intercambio de información."
Status
OIFAA was placed on administrative pause from 2008 to 2012, reactivated under Comando Conjunto in 2013, and continues to accept civilian reports via FAP's public channels. Case files are released on request under Ley 27.806.
