Enrichment (EN)

Disambiguation: Refers to the integrated system of military procedures, protocols, and institutional programs—from historical Air Force regulations (AFR 200-2, CIRVIS) through modern task forces (UAPTF 2020–2021, AARO 2022–present)—for collecting, standardizing, and reporting unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) sightings across U.S. Department of Defense.

UFO Reporting encompasses the formalized operational and procedural framework by which the United States military collects, standardizes, investigates, and reports sightings of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). Historically rooted in Air Force Regulation 200-2 (UFO reporting procedures) and channels such as CIRVIS and OPREP-3, the system was reorganized and modernized through the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF, 2020–2021) in the Office of Naval Intelligence. From 2022 forward, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO)—a DoD task force established July 20, 2022—has served as the central manager for UAP collection, reporting, analysis, and policy across all military domains. As of May 8, 2026, the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE) expanded this mandate to include declassification and public release of historical UAP records dating to 1947.

UFO Reporting engloba o sistema integrado de procedimentos operacionais e protocolos através dos quais as Forças Armadas dos EUA coletam, padronizam, investigam e reportam avistamentos de fenômenos anômalos não identificados (UAP). Com raízes históricas na Regulação de Força Aérea 200-2 (procedimentos de reporte de UFO) e canais como CIRVIS e OPREP-3, o sistema foi reorganizado e modernizado pela Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF, 2020–2021) no Office of Naval Intelligence. A partir de 2022, o All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO)—uma força-tarefa do DoD estabelecida em 20 de julho de 2022—atua como gerente central para coleta, reporte, análise e políticas de UAP em todos os domínios militares. A partir de 8 de maio de 2026, o Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE) expandiu esse mandato para incluir desclassificação e divulgação pública de registros históricos de UAP datando de 1947.
