Uap

Near-synonyms: UFO, unidentified flying object (synonymous in its broad sense)

During World War II (and probably before), high flying pilots were reported to have observed unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP), often now called transient luminous events (TLE’s), particularly in the vicinity of thunderstorms.

“You know, there’s a new name,” Mrs. Clinton said in the March appearance. “It’s unexplained aerial phenomenon,” she said. “U.A.P. That’s the latest nomenclature.”

The founders say they believe “there is sufficient credible evidence of UAP [unidentified aerial phenomenon] that proves exotic technologies exist that could revolutionize the human experience.”

This is an effort that I believe is rare and timely given current events, such as the apparent increase in UAP incidents through official military channels.

The spokesman at the time said UAP was preferred over UFO because of the stigma surrounding the latter term.

Pentagon officially released three videos of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).

The US military is worried some of the UAPs spotted by military pilots in the past may represent technologies of strategic rivals unknown to US scientists.
