"UAP" is quickly becoming synonymous with "UFO", and inheriting the stigma that comes along with that. In this fascinating article, former AARO Science Advisor Dr. Randy Bostick suggests holding off even on the designation "UAP" and instead going with "Provisional UAP" (PUAP?) until it can be more clearly demonstrated to be unresolvable and actually anomalous. It's a good point. The vast majority of UFO/UAP reports are just distracting noise. If there's something interesting in there, then filtering out that noise would be very helpful. But I fear the terminology horse has already bolted. "UAP reporters (and anyone interested in or pursuing UAP research) should not feel obligated or allow themselves to be coerced into providing an immediate analysis of what they saw or what their instruments detected. For example, the assessment of a hot, fast-moving object should be left to validated analysis and not an initial description. The self-assessment by an observer that something is “weird” or exotic threatens to lead to the UFO supposition and a reluctance to report and the much-discussed reporting stigma. The focus should be on reporting the observable characteristics that led the observer to deem the object as hot or fast moving and on providing any associated oral, written, or instrumented data. This information provides the basis for scientific investigation; the reporter should be required only to report, not to provide the assessment. An approach to reducing the stigma of reporting is to use the term UAP in its proper context as an object that is literally unidentified and/or is behaving anomalously with no assumption of origin based on the initial sighting. To alleviate the implied association of UAPs with UFOs, the initial UAP report may be designated a “potential UAP,” indicating that data and information have been provided, but that further analysis is needed before concluding that it is truly unidentifiable or anomalous and why. This suggestion is analogous to a citizen reporting suspicious activity to law enforcement and letting those professionals investigate whether a crime is actually being committed and by whom. Perhaps the potential UAP ends up being identified as a balloon, drone, or something incredible, but that should not concern the observer making a report."

A retired Navy admiral warns UFOs may be controlled by a “higher-order non-human intelligence.” Tim Gallaudet, considered to be one of America’s leading voices on the UAP phenomenon, says he’s seen “data videos” showing craft moving seamlessly between the ocean and atmosphere at speeds beyond known technology. “I know we are aware of higher order non-human intelligence that direct the movement of these phenomena,” he said.

Dr. Michael Hesse, Vice Provost for Research and Innovation, US Naval Postgraduate School, clearly lays out why investigating UAP/UFOs is important and how it can and should be approached with scientific rigor. This is the foreword to a special UAP edition of CTX with several other interesting articles and interviews. "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) represent a real and impactful domain-awareness challenge. They sit at the intersection of operational safety, emerging technology assessment, intelligence analysis, and scientific inquiry. Observations span air, maritime, space, and other operational environments. Some can be resolved through conventional explanations. Others remain unresolved—not because they defy physics, but because the information is incomplete, ambiguous, or insufficiently instrumented. Reducing uncertainty in this domain requires a systematic approach. It requires calibrated sensors, standardized data architectures, rigorous analytic processes, and a culture that prioritizes evidence. Above all, it requires the systematic application of proper scientific methodology Recent years have seen significant progress in reporting structures and institutional coordination. Yet, the following persistent gaps remain: inconsistent metadata standards, limited sensor fidelity, uneven analytic frameworks, and cultural hesitancy in reporting. These are solvable problems. They demand dedicated investment in sensing technologies, cross-domain data fusion, reproducible analysis pipelines, and related research grounded in physics, engineering, statistics, and operational analysis. This special issue of Combating Threats Exchange (CTX) is dedicated to strengthening that foundation. The objective is straightforward: bring scientific rigor to a problem set that has too often been characterized by fragmentation or speculation. Scientific inquiry—falsifiable hypotheses, calibrated measurement, uncertainty quantification, reproducibility—is the essential tool for further progress. At the US Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), through the Center on Combating Hybrid Threats and in close partnership with the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, we are building an interdisciplinary framework to integrate operational data with scientific analysis. This effort includes collaborative research agreements, advanced modeling and sensing studies, classified analytic work where required, targeted experimentation, specialized publication, and tailored academic offerings. We are also expanding communities of interest across service components, fleet commands, allied institutions, and research partners. NPS is uniquely positioned to contribute. As the Department of Defense’s graduate education and applied research institution, we operate at the nexus of theory and operational practice. Our faculty and students bring expertise in plasma physics, signal processing, aerospace engineering, data science, human systems integration, intelligence analysis, and policy. This cross-disciplinary environment is precisely what a multi-domain problem requires. For the US Navy in particular, persistent global presence across all domains makes domain awareness essential. Unresolved anomalies—if not properly characterized—can obscure sensor limitations, mask emerging technologies, or introduce operational risk. While most cases are likely attributable to conventional sources—natural phenomena, sensor artifacts, commercial systems, or foreign technologies—we cannot assume adequacy of explanation without rigorous analysis. Strategic surprise often exploits ambiguity. Only a systematic approach can reduce it. Equally important is the human dimension. Although progress has been made in normalizing UAP reporting, cultural reticence still exists. High-quality data begin with professional, stigma-free reporting channels supported by sound analytic feedback loops. Organizational behavior, cognitive bias, and decision science therefore matter as much as hardware and algorithms. This is not solely a government challenge. Observations may occur near critical infrastructure, maritime corridors, industrial sites, or populated areas. A credible framework requires collaboration across governmental agencies, academia, industry, and allied partners. Shared data standards, interoperable metadata architectures, joint analytic methodologies, and coordinated research efforts will accelerate learning and strengthen attribution capabilities. From my perspective as a physicist and former NASA research leader, the way forward is clear. Complex phenomena demand measurement. Measurement demands instrumentation. Instrumentation demands calibration. And analysis demands rigor. We must integrate operational awareness with the scientific method, close data gaps, quantify uncertainty, and progressively constrain the space of plausible explanations. UAP-related challenges are global. Our allies face similar observational ambiguities. Strengthened international cooperation—focused on shared sensing strategies, analytic standards, and coordinated research—will enhance collective domain awareness and strategic stability. This CTX special issue reflects a commitment to move the conversation from conjecture to disciplined inquiry. By embedding scientific methodology within operational frameworks, we strengthen safety, enhance attribution, and reinforce national and allied security in an increasingly complex technological environment.

As for my promise to you, the Department of War has released the first tranche of the UFO/UAP files to the Public for their review and study. In an effort for Complete and Maximum Transparency, it was my Honor to direct my Administration to identify and provide Government files related to Alien and Extraterrestrial Life, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, and Unidentified Flying Objects. Whereas previous Administrations have failed to be transparent on this subject, with these new Documents and Videos, the people can decide for themselves, “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?” Have Fun and Enjoy!

Rep. Tim Burchett: "A member of our government has told me that extraterrestrial beings have visited our planet and made contact with humans." 👽🛸 In a direct interview, the Tennessee Congressman confirmed what a high ranking official shared with him in a secure briefing including non human life and otherworldly machinery that interacted with people. Pressed for details, he replied: "It's pretty wild. I'm just telling you, I'm not going to lie to you. This is what the guy told me." He recalled the source pulling him close before leaving through a side door and saying: "Tim, they're real." What do you make of this? Do you think Congress is finally getting closer to real answers on UAPs and non human intelligence or will the biggest secrets stay buried?
