Regardless of UAP origin, there is a clear issue with government handling and transparency of this topic. The lack of tracking and the ongoing stigma on reporting UAP leaves a sizable gap in national security.
It seems that the incident last year of the Chinese spy balloon opened up not just the public's eye but also they eyes of government officials and military. While that initial object was identified, the increased monitoring then led to the sightings and engagement of the still undetermined UAP in February 2023.
While we're still searching for answers and striving for proper handling by the government, there is thankfully a public push to fill the gaps. Americans for Safe Aerospace, established by Ryan Graves, is helping gather reports by both civilian and military pilots. And, organizations like National UFO Reporting Center/NUFORC have done well providing a public source for reporting and researching any type of sightings.
