The Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program (AATIP) gained meme status following the 2017 New York Times reveal of the Pentagon's secret UFO study. Internet culture quickly adopted the serious government branding to poke fun at blurry footage, alien conspiracies, and the bureaucratic denial of extraterrestrial life. Usually featuring grainy 'Tic-Tac' shaped objects or glowing orbs, these memes serve as a commentary on government transparency and the enduring mystery of what lies beyond our atmosphere. Whether it is labeling a bird as a national security threat or a massive saucer as 'swamp gas,' the AATIP meme is the go-to for paranormal enthusiasts and skeptics alike who want to highlight the absurdity of modern disclosure.
