UAP — Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena

UAP — unidentified anomalous phenomena — is the official rebrand of UFO, adopted by the US government as Navy cockpit videos, congressional hearings and NASA panels dragged the topic back into respectability after 2017. The acronym signals a data problem rather than a conclusion: most cases resolve into balloons, drones, sensor artifacts and aircraft. The unresolved remainder is why the term exists. Civilian accounts filed here now arrive wearing the new vocabulary, camera in hand, and get judged the same old way — one witness at a time.
