DEFINITION
Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP):
Objects or events in the sky, space, or water that cannot be immediately identified. This includes airborne, transmedium (air-to-water), or submerged objects that show unusual behavior or performance.
The U.S. government defines UAP as sources of anomalous detections in one or more domains (airborne, seaborne, spaceborne, or transmedium) that are not yet attributable to known actors and that demonstrate behaviors not readily understood by sensors or observers.
Key point for citizens: Most sightings have ordinary explanations (planes, drones, stars, balloons). A small percentage remain unexplained. Accurate reporting builds citizen intelligence and strengthens public safety.

Section.1 UAP in the News
Recent headlines show sightings are increasing, especially in the western U.S.
- Western US residents report the most UFO sightings — what are they actually seeing? (Space.com, April 3, 2024)
- Underwater UFOs display capability that ‘jeopardizes US maritime security,’ ex-Navy officer says (Fox News, April 15, 2024)
Citizen Action Tip: Enable real-time alerts on AlienAlerts.com and join your local neighborhood watch channel for verified activity updates.
Section.2 Everyday Safety & Community Awareness
UAP are not known to harm civilians, but they can appear near aircraft, helicopters, or populated areas.
Practical Defense Measures for Families, Individuals & Neighborhoods
- Stay calm and observe safely from a grounded position.
- Note exact time, GPS location, direction, shape, color, lights, speed, sound, and any effects (e.g., electronics glitches, missing time).
- UAP can pose temporary risks to aviation — if near an airport or flight path, note it immediately.
- Many people call 911; it’s okay to report if you feel concerned for safety.
- No official local law enforcement UAP reporting system exists yet — that’s why your reports through AlienAlerts.com matter.
For Neighborhood Organizers & Local Leaders:
Launch a “Citizen Sky Watch Patrol” — monthly group skywatching events with binoculars, phone apps, and shared live reporting. Build community intelligence together.
Section.3 Quick History of Government Interest
The U.S. has studied UAP since the 1940s (Project Blue Book cataloged 12,618 sightings; 701 remain unidentified). Today the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) leads scientific investigations.
Citizen Takeaway: Official interest is real and growing — citizen reporting accelerates transparency.
Section.4 Whistleblowers & Pilot Experiences
Former Navy pilots (Ryan Graves, David Fravor) and intelligence officer David Grusch have testified under oath about advanced objects in military airspace.
Action for You: Listen openly but critically. These accounts highlight why accurate citizen intelligence improves flight safety and national awareness.
Section.5 What Congress Is Doing
Bipartisan progress includes:
- Safe Airspace for Americans Act (protects pilots who report).
- UAP Disclosure Act of 2023 (requires more government transparency).
- Congressional UAP Caucus (bipartisan group pushing for answers).
For Local Leaders: Contact your representatives via AlienAlerts.com action tools and ask them to support civilian reporting protections.
Section.6 Current U.S. Government Efforts
AARO (established 2022) collects data, standardizes reporting, and mitigates safety threats. Latest reports document hundreds of new cases.
Your Role: Add your observations to public databases — every verified report strengthens citizen intelligence.
Section.7 International & Other Agency Efforts
Canada (Sky Canada Project), France (GEIPAN), UK, and others run scientific programs. U.S. agencies like NASA, Customs & Border Protection, and the Forest Service also track UAP.
Section.8 NASA’s Scientific Approach
NASA’s 2023 Independent Study Team recommends:
- Better multi-sensor data collection.
- Strong public engagement.
- Improved commercial pilot reporting.
Family Activity: Watch the free NASA UAP public briefings on YouTube together.
Section.9 FAA Guidance for Civilians
The FAA directs pilots and air traffic controllers to report UAP to NUFORC or local law enforcement when safety or property may be involved.
Section.10 How to Report & Track – Your Action Toolkit
Easy Citizen Reporting Options
- Public, pilots, families: NUFORC (nuforc.org), MUFON (mufon.com)
- Aviation safety: ASRS (asrs.arc.nasa.gov)
- Government/military witnesses: AARO secure form (aaro.mil)
- Primary Citizen Hub: AlienAlerts.com (integrated reporting + alerts)
Free Tracking Tools
- Aircraft: Flightradar24, FlightAware
- Space: ISS Live, NASA CNEOS
- Balloons & satellites: SondeHub, In-The-Sky.org
Community Organizing & Training Steps
- Join or create a free neighborhood group on AlienAlerts.com (Signal/Discord/Nextdoor integration).
- Host monthly skywatch nights and training sessions.
- Train members: safe filming protocols, hoax avoidance, accurate documentation, and basic defense measures.
Alien Defense Measures
- Never chase or approach objects.
- Use multiple devices to record (phone + backup camera or IR if available).
- Create a simple family “UAP Defense Plan”: designated meet-up spot, shared documentation checklist, immediate group report.
- Psychological defense: Most sightings are explainable. Open family conversations and training reduce fear and build resilience.
Section.11 Key Takeaways for Citizens
- UAP are real enough that the U.S. government, NASA, Congress, and international agencies are studying them seriously.
- You are the front line of citizen intelligence — accurate reporting matters.
- No evidence of harm to the public — focus on curiosity, safety, community, and defense preparedness.
- Build local networks: education + training + alerts = stronger defense and better data.
- Teach children: “Curiosity about the sky is great. Preparation and calm are key.”
Kid-Friendly Corner (Ages 8–12)
“Hey explorers! Sometimes we see strange lights or fast things in the sky. Scientists call them UAP. Here’s your easy defense plan:
- Stay with a grown-up.
- Draw or describe what you saw right away.
- Tell a trusted adult — we can report it together on AlienAlerts.com.
- Remember: Space has lots of cool, natural things too!”
For Families: Keep a shared “UAP Journal” (notebook or digital folder on AlienAlerts.com) for drawings, notes, photos, and training notes. Review monthly.
Local Leaders & Neighborhood Organizers: Use this guide for free community workshops, skywatch events, or training sessions. Print copies or share digitally via AlienAlerts.com.
