The Special Assignment Team (SAT) was created by MUFON in 2017 to investigate High Strangeness Cases in similar fashion to the FBI’s X-Files in the famous TV Show. These are very in-depth investigations that sometimes conclude something anomalous is afoot. Sometimes it is the U.S. Government experimenting with C-130s acting as drone swarm motherships. Sometimes the conclusion is natural or identified phenomena. SAT, originally conceived by former Director of Investigations Chase Kloetzke was handed to Bob Spearing when she was promoted to Director of Investigations in 2018. The limited amount of SAT cases at the time resulted in a decision to abandon the SAT concept and create groups of teams such as the MUFON Photo Analysis Team (PAT), the MUFON Dive Team, and the MUFON Laboratory in Missouri, a concept that has proved highly effective. Chase left MUFON in 2019 and was replaced as DOI by Steve Hudgeons. Bob Spearing is now MUFON Director of International Investigations.
