Disambiguation: An Incident Report is a formal administrative document, NOT the incident itself. Distinguish from: Investigation Report (which analyzes the incident), After Action Report (which evaluates outcomes), or mere notification/alert (which lacks formal documentation structure).

An incident report is a standardized administrative document used throughout U.S. military and government agencies to formally record, investigate, and track incidents including mishaps, near-misses, safety violations, and operational anomalies. In military context, incident reports serve dual purposes: accountability and safety improvement. They typically document the time, date, location, description, and circumstances of the incident. The U.S. Navy established a standardized UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) incident reporting mechanism in March 2019, which was subsequently adopted by the Air Force in November 2020. Incident reports form a critical chain-of-custody mechanism for documenting anomalous events and are subject to classification and distribution controls per DoD regulations.

Um Relatório de Incidente é um documento administrativo padronizado utilizado em agências militares e governamentais dos EUA para registrar formalmente, investigar e acompanhar incidentes, incluindo acidentes, quase-acidentes, violações de segurança e anomalias operacionais. No contexto militar, os relatórios de incidente servem a dois propósitos: responsabilidade e melhoria da segurança. Normalmente documentam a hora, data, local, descrição e circunstâncias do incidente. A Marinha dos EUA estabeleceu um mecanismo padronizado de relatório de incidentes de UAP (Fenômenos Anômalos Não Identificados) em março de 2019, posteriormente adotado pela Força Aérea em novembro de 2020. Os relatórios de incidente formam um mecanismo crítico de rastreabilidade para documentar eventos anômalos e estão sujeitos a controles de classificação e distribuição conforme regulamentações do DoD.
