Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) are also described as unknown anomalous aircraft, referred to as Unidentified Anomalous Vehicles (UAVs) or Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs).
They have been observed globally for many years. The UAP phenomena were studied officially by the United States Air Force in a series of UFO projects: Project Sign (1947), Project Grudge (1949), and Project Blue Book (1952–1969).
Other nations, such as Chile, France, New Zealand, Denmark, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Russia (the former Soviet Union), Sweden, the United KingdomSpain, Uruguay, and the Vatican, have also conducted UAP studies, or are currently studying, UAPs.
Furthermore, In December of 2017, it was revealed that the U.S. Government had been studying Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) through at least one secret program called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. (Successor: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force).
There have been times when U.S. Navy pilots have had to deal with nearly daily encounters with UAPs.
What Are Unidentified Aerial Phenomena?
These UAPs typically exhibit anomalous flight characteristics, such as changing direction or accelerating at extremely high rates, traveling at extremely high speeds, and hovering motionless for long periods of time.
Furthermore, these UAPs appear to violate the laws of physics in that they do not have visible flight or control surfaces, or any visible means of propulsion violating Newton’s Third Law.
They are “transmedium” vehicles. That means they can also operate in multiple media, such as air, space (low Earth orbit), and water without apparent hindrance, heat dumps, or sonic booms.
Several Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) encountered by military, commercial, and civilian aircraft have been reported to be structured craft that exhibits near-impossible flight characteristics.
Consider a handful of well-documented UFO/UAP encounters, including the 2004 encounters with the Nimitz Carrier Group off the coast of California, and consider lower bounds on the accelerations exhibited by the craft during the observed maneuvers.
Approximated accelerations range from almost a hundred G-Force to about thousands of G-Forces with no observed air disturbance.
Also, no sonic booms and no evidence of excessive heat commensurate with even the minimal estimated energies.
UAPs Exhibit Strange And Extraordinary Flight Characteristics
Following observations, the estimated parameters describing the behavior of these crafts are both strange and extraordinary.
The extreme flight characteristics reveal that these observations are either fabricated or seriously in error or that these vehicles exhibit technology far more advanced than any known craft on Earth.
In many UAP encounters, the number and quality of witnesses, the variety of roles they played in these encounters, and the equipment used to track and record the UAPs favor the latter hypothesis that they are technologically advanced crafts.
Moreover, the observed flight characteristics of these strange UAPs are consistent with the flight characteristics required for interstellar travel. I.e., suppose these observed accelerations were sustainable in space. In that case, these enigmatic UAPs could easily reach relativistic velocities in minutes to hours.
If so, they could cover interstellar distances in a matter of days to weeks, proper time.
Reasons To Investigate UAPs
The origin, nature, and purpose of these UAPs are unknown. Moreover, it is not known if they are piloted by a biological entity, controlled remotely, or autonomous, maybe by artificial intelligence (AI).
It has been made very clear by U.S. officials that if those UAPs were hostile, they would pose a serious threat. If some of these crafts are of extraterrestrial origin, it would be necessary to assess their potential threat.
More interestingly, these UAPs have the potential to provide new insights into aerospace engineering and other technologies.
The possibility of a serious threat, the promise of advancements in engineering and science, evolving expectations about (ET) extraterrestrial life, and even a deeper understanding of the acts of misperception and misinterpretation are all important reasons for scientists to study and understand these objects seriously.
