Background on UAP
Background on UAP
Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), a term officially adopted in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022, encompasses a broader range of unexplained occurrences beyond just aerial phenomena. This updated terminology, which replaced "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena," reflects the U.S. government's expanded approach to investigating and understanding these enigmatic events.
UAP, previously known as Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), have long captivated public interest and been subject to government scrutiny. Recent years have seen significant developments:
A surge in UAP sightings reported by military and civilian pilots, often corroborated by advanced sensor systems.
U.S. government's public recognition of unexplained encounters, validating the need for serious investigation.
Creation of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) by the Pentagon to systematically investigate UAP incidents.
Inclusion of phenomena in space, air, sea, and even trans-medium events under the UAP umbrella.
Growing governmental efforts to declassify and share information about UAP, responding to public and congressional pressure.
Renewed focus from the scientific community on studying UAP using rigorous methodologies.
