EVALUATION is a formal doctrine and systematic procedure within the U.S. Department of Defense and Intelligence Community for assessing, analyzing, and categorizing unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP/UFO) incidents. Established formally through the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) and later the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO, established 2022), evaluation encompasses standardized reporting mechanisms, data collection, operational surveillance, intelligence analysis, and classification into five explanatory categories: airborne clutter, natural atmospheric phenomena, U.S. government or American industry developmental programs, foreign adversary systems, and a catch-all "other" category. The evaluation framework applies both scientific method and intelligence analysis tradecraft to identify and mitigate technological and intelligence surprise. Standardized evaluation procedures were formalized after the Navy established the first standardized reporting mechanism in March 2019, and were mandated across all DoD branches through Deputy Secretary of Defense directive in 2021.

AVALIAÇÃO é uma doutrina formal e procedimento sistemático dentro do Departamento de Defesa dos EUA e da Comunidade de Inteligência para avaliar, analisar e categorizar incidentes de fenômenos aéreos não identificados (UAP/UFO). Estabelecida formalmente através da Força-Tarefa de Fenômenos Aéreos Não Identificados (UAPTF) e posteriormente do Escritório de Resolução de Anomalias em Todos os Domínios (AARO, estabelecido em 2022), a avaliação abrange mecanismos de relatório padronizados, coleta de dados, vigilância operacional, análise de inteligência e classificação em cinco categorias explicativas: detritos aéreos, fenômenos atmosféricos naturais, programas de desenvolvimento do governo dos EUA ou da indústria americana, sistemas adversários estrangeiros e uma categoria "outro" residual. O marco de avaliação aplica tanto o método científico quanto a prática de análise de inteligência para identificar e mitigar surpresas tecnológicas e de inteligência. Procedimentos de avaliação padronizados foram formalizados depois que a Marinha estabeleceu o primeiro mecanismo de relatório padronizado em março de 2019, e foram mandatados em todos os ramos do DoD através de diretiva do Vice-Secretário de Defesa em 2021.
