Disambiguation: This entry refers to the generic classification and phenomenon of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) / Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) investigated by various US government operations, NOT a discrete named operation. Specific programs investigating this phenomenon include Project Blue Book, AATIP, UAPTF, AARO, and PURSUE.

Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) is a generic classification descriptor applied by the US government to unexplained aerial phenomena reported by military personnel, pilots, and civilians. Rather than a single operation, it represents a categorical umbrella encompassing decades of official investigations through various named programs: Project Blue Book (1952–1969, 12,618 reports documented), the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (2007–2012), the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (2017–2020), and the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (2022–present). In May 2026, the Trump administration launched the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE), directing multiagency declassification and public release of historical UFO-related records dating back to 1947.

Objetos Voadores Não Identificados (OVNI) é uma classificação genérica aplicada pelo governo norte-americano a fenômenos aéreos inexplicados reportados por pessoal militar, pilotos e civis. Em vez de uma operação discreta, representa uma categoria abrangente de investigações oficiais que duraram décadas através de vários programas nomeados: Projeto Blue Book (1952–1969, 12.618 relatórios documentados), Programa Avançado de Identificação de Ameaças Aeroespaciais (2007–2012), Força-Tarefa de Fenômenos Aéreos Não Identificados (2017–2020) e Escritório de Resolução de Anomalias em Todos os Domínios (2022–presente). Em maio de 2026, a administração Trump lançou o Sistema Presidencial de Abertura de Dados e Relatórios para Encontros com UAP (PURSUE), direcionando a declassificação multiagencial e liberação pública de registros históricos relacionados a OVNI datando de 1947.
