Disambiguation: Refers to the formal US military and government system for standardized collection, documentation, and reporting of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) sightings. Successor to informal procedures and Project Blue Book-era reporting channels. Not to be confused with historical programs like Project Blue Book itself.

The UFO Incident Reporting Protocol is a formalized system established by the United States military and Department of Defense for standardized collection, documentation, and reporting of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) sightings. The protocol originated with Navy guidelines implemented in April 2019, following decades of ad-hoc reporting mechanisms. It was subsequently unified under the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF, 2017–2022) and then the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO, established August 2022). The current system includes secure online reporting mechanisms accessible to current and former government employees, military personnel, and contractors, with retroactive application to incidents dating to 1945. As of April 2023, the protocol had generated 801 documented reports.

O Protocolo de Reporte de Incidentes UFO é um sistema formalizado estabelecido pelo exército dos EUA e Departamento de Defesa para coleta, documentação e reporte padronizados de avistamentos de fenômenos anômalos não identificados (UAP). O protocolo teve origem em diretrizes da Marinha implementadas em abril de 2019, após décadas de mecanismos de reporte informais. Foi posteriormente unificado sob a Força-Tarefa de Fenômenos Aéreos Não Identificados (UAPTF, 2017–2022) e depois sob o Escritório de Resolução de Anomalias em Todos os Domínios (AARO, estabelecido em agosto de 2022). O sistema atual inclui mecanismos seguros de reporte online acessíveis a funcionários governamentais atuais e anteriores, pessoal militar e contratados, com aplicação retroativa a incidentes desde 1945. Em abril de 2023, o protocolo havia gerado 801 relatórios documentados.
