Andreas Müller

Background and Career

Andreas Müller (born 1976 in Neunkirchen/Saar, Germany) is a German journalist, UFO researcher, and author specializing in anomalistics and fringe science. Since the 1990s, he has become one of the most prominent voices in German-language ufology, earning recognition for rigorous documentation, institutional credibility, and unprecedented access to classified government records on unidentified aerial phenomena.

Müller earned credentials through decades of systematic field investigation, beginning in 1994 when he commenced detailed investigations of crop circle phenomena in England and elsewhere. Unlike many UFO researchers, Müller combines grassroots field investigation with institutional research partnerships and media platforms that have established him as a mainstream journalist covering anomalistics rather than a fringe figure.

Major Accomplishments

Crop Circle Documentation: Müller has conducted over three decades of crop circle investigations and maintains one of the largest crop circle archives in the world, containing more than 7,000 documented entries. His work distinguishes itself by attempting rigorous methodology to identify authentic anomalous formations from known human-made replicas, contributing to scientific discussion of crop circle origins rather than accepting all formations uncritically.

BND UFO Files Access (2014): In 2014, Müller achieved a milestone in German ufology by becoming the first journalist to gain access to and publicly report on the "UFO file of the BND" (Bundesnachrichtendienst, German federal intelligence agency). This classified document collection had been largely unknown to the German public, and Müller's exclusive reporting brought significant attention to the systematic documentation of unidentified phenomena by German security services.

Media Platform and Daily Coverage: In 2007, Müller founded Grenzwissenschaft Aktuell (GreWi), a daily news portal dedicated to fringe science, anomalistics, and UFO phenomena. The portal has become one of the largest daily sources of anomalistics news in German-speaking Europe, reaching thousands of readers and establishing Müller as a central hub for alternative science reporting in the region.

Published Works: Müller has authored the comprehensive book series "Deutschlands UFO-Akten" (Germany's UFO Files), with volumes published in 2021 and 2023, detailing the history of German UFO sightings and official responses. In 2026, he published "UFO – Ein Sachbuch: Daten, Fakten und Hintergründe zur Historie der Unidentifizierten Flugobjekte" (UFO—A Factual Book: Data, Facts, and Background on the History of Unidentified Flying Objects), positioning it as a comprehensive, data-driven introduction to UFO phenomena, history, phenomenology, and scientific research.

Institutional Recognition

Müller's work has achieved academic and official recognition uncommon in ufology. He is a member of the Society for UAP Studies (SUAPS), which brings together researchers from multiple disciplines to study unidentified anomalous phenomena with scientific rigor. He also holds an associated membership position with the Interdisciplinary Research Center for Extraterrestrial Studies (IFEX) at the University of Würzburg, indicating university-level acceptance of his research contributions.

International Reach and Scholarly Perspective

While primarily published in German and operating within German-language UFO research circles, Müller's systematic approach and institutional credibility have positioned him as a bridge between popular UFO interest and academic anomalistics research. His focus on German national UFO phenomena, classified intelligence documentation, and crop circle analysis represents a regional expertise often underrepresented in English-language UFO literature.
