Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) For aviation reporting purposes, a UAP may be airborne objects or other detected/observed objects that are not immediately identifiable, such as balloons, aircraft, or natural known phenomena, that demonstrate behaviors that are not readily understood by sensors or observers. A UAP may consist of one or more unidentified anomalous objects and may persist over an extended period of time. The full definition of UAP may be found on the All?Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) website at https://www.aaro.mil.
