Disambiguation
Generic umbrella term referring to systematic US military and government investigation of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). Encompasses multiple discrete programs: Project Blue Book (USAF, 1952–1969), Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program/AATIP (DoD, 2007–2012), and the current All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office/AARO (DoD, 2022–present).

Disambiguation: Generic umbrella term referring to systematic US military and government investigation of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). Encompasses multiple discrete programs: Project Blue Book (USAF, 1952–1969), Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program/AATIP (DoD, 2007–2012), and the current All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office/AARO (DoD, 2022–present).
UFO Research represents the collective systematic investigation of unidentified flying objects and anomalous aerial phenomena by the United States military and Department of Defense, spanning from March 1952 to the present. The foundational program, Project Blue Book, was conducted by the U.S. Air Force from 1952 to 1969 and investigated 12,618 UFO reports, concluding that no credible evidence supported extraterrestrial or exotic technological explanations. After a gap of decades, the classified Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) operated from 2007 to 2012 with $22 million in funding to investigate unexplained aerial phenomena encountered by military personnel. The current successor program, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), was established in 2022 and continues investigation of unidentified anomalies in air, sea, space, and land domains. These programs reflect ongoing official government effort to understand and assess the national security implications of UAP incidents.

Pesquisa de OVNIs representa a investigação sistemática coletiva de objetos voadores não identificados e fenômenos aéreos anômalos pela Força Aérea Americana e Departamento de Defesa, abrangendo o período de março de 1952 até o presente. O programa fundacional, Projeto Blue Book, foi conduzido pela Força Aérea Americana de 1952 a 1969 e investigou 12.618 relatos de OVNIs, concluindo que nenhuma evidência credível apoiava explicações extraterrestres ou tecnológicas exóticas. Após um intervalo de décadas, o Programa Avançado de Identificação de Ameaças Aeroespaciais (AATIP) operou de 2007 a 2012 com US$ 22 milhões em financiamento para investigar fenômenos aéreos inexplicáveis encontrados por pessoal militar. O programa sucessor atual, o Escritório de Resolução de Anomalias de Todos os Domínios (AARO), foi estabelecido em 2022 e continua a investigação de anomalias não identificadas nos domínios aéreo, marítimo, espacial e terrestre. Estes programas refletem o esforço governamental contínuo para compreender e avaliar as implicações para a segurança nacional dos incidentes de fenômenos aéreos anômalos.
