Disambiguation: Refers to the systematic investigative framework and procedures established by the United States government for examining unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) reports. This term encompasses both historical programs (Project Blue Book, AATIP) and the current protocols operated by AARO.

The UFO Investigation Protocol represents the formal governmental framework for systematically collecting, analyzing, and investigating unidentified aerial and anomalous phenomena reports across the United States. Established through successive institutional programs since 1947, the protocol evolved from Project Blue Book (1952–1970) through the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (2007–2012) to the current All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which became operational in July 2022. AARO serves as the single focal point for all Department of Defense UAP efforts, employing standardized operating procedures and analytic methodologies requiring a whole-of-government approach involving the intelligence community, Federal Aviation Administration, and other federal agencies. The protocol governs how military personnel, pilots, and other witnesses report sightings and how federal agencies review, investigate, and analyze over 2,000 cumulative cases dating back to 1945.

O UFO Investigation Protocol representa o framework investigativo formal do governo dos Estados Unidos para coletar, analisar e investigar sistematicamente relatórios de fenômenos aéreos e anômalos não identificados. Estabelecido através de programas institucionais sucessivos desde 1947, o protocolo evoluiu do Projeto Blue Book (1952–1970), passando pelo Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (2007–2012), até o atual All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), que se tornou operacional em julho de 2022. O AARO funciona como ponto focal único para todos os esforços de UAP do Departamento de Defesa, empregando procedimentos operacionais padronizados e metodologias analíticas que exigem uma abordagem de governo integrado envolvendo a comunidade de inteligência, Administração Federal de Aviação e outras agências federais. O protocolo governa como pessoal militar, pilotos e outras testemunhas relatam avistamentos e como agências federais revisam, investigam e analisam mais de 2 mil casos cumulativos que remontam a 1945.
