Disambiguation
Refers to the standardized military and DoD procedures for documenting and reporting unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) sightings, not to any specific incident. This encompasses historical systems (Project Blue Book, 1947–1969) and modern reporting frameworks (UAPTF 2017–2022, AARO 2022–present).

UFO Incident Reporting is the formal U.S. military and Department of Defense system for documenting, collecting, and analyzing reports of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) sightings. The framework originated with Project Blue Book (1947–1969), an Air Force program that received 12,618 UFO reports and established standardized questionnaires and documentation procedures. Modern reporting infrastructure began with the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF, 2017–2022), which operated under the Office of Naval Intelligence and formalized Navy reporting procedures in March 2019. The UAPTF was succeeded by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO, established July 2022), which now serves as the single focal point for all DoD UAP reporting and analysis, requiring military personnel to submit reports within two weeks of observation through established secure channels.

UFO Incident Reporting é o sistema formal dos militares dos EUA e do Departamento de Defesa para documentação, coleta e análise de relatos de fenômenos aéreos não identificados (UAP, unidentified aerial phenomena). O marco regulatório originou-se do Project Blue Book (1947–1969), um programa da Força Aérea que recebeu 12.618 relatos de UFOs e estabeleceu questionários padronizados e procedimentos de documentação. A infraestrutura de relato moderno começou com a Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF, 2017–2022), que operava sob a Office of Naval Intelligence e formalizou procedimentos de relato da Marinha em março de 2019. A UAPTF foi substituída pela All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO, estabelecida em julho de 2022), que agora funciona como ponto focal único para todos os relatos e análises de UAP do DoD, exigindo que pessoal militar envie relatórios dentro de duas semanas após a observação através de canais seguros estabelecidos.
