Enrichment (EN)

Disambiguation: Generic descriptor encompassing multiple U.S. government programs investigating unidentified flying objects / unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). Most notably refers to Project Blue Book (1952–1969, U.S. Air Force), the formal and longest-running UFO investigation, though the term in the corpus archive may also encompass related modern efforts (UAPTF 2020–2021, AARO 2022–present).

The UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS investigation refers to the systematic U.S. government programs that documented, analyzed, and investigated unidentified flying object (UFO) reports and unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). The most prominent historical program is Project Blue Book, operated by the U.S. Air Force from March 1952 to December 1969, headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. Project Blue Book collected 12,618 UFO sightings, of which 701 remained classified as unexplained; the Air Force concluded no sightings posed a national security threat or represented unknown technological advances. Modern successor programs include the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (established 2020–2021 by the Office of Naval Intelligence) and the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO, established July 2022 by the Department of Defense), which continues investigating UAP across air, maritime, space, and terrestrial domains.

A investigação de OBJETOS VOADORES NÃO IDENTIFICADOS refere-se aos programas sistemáticos do governo dos EUA que documentaram, analisaram e investigaram relatos de objetos voadores não identificados (OVNIs) e fenômenos anômalos não identificados (UAP). O programa histórico mais proeminente é o Projeto Blue Book, operado pela Força Aérea dos EUA de março de 1952 a dezembro de 1969, com sede na Base da Força Aérea Wright-Patterson em Ohio. O Projeto Blue Book coletou 12.618 avistamentos de OVNIs, dos quais 701 permaneceram classificados como inexplicados; a Força Aérea concluiu que nenhum avistamento representava uma ameaça à segurança nacional ou avanços tecnológicos desconhecidos. Os programas sucessores modernos incluem a Força Tarefa de Fenômenos Aéreos Não Identificados (estabelecida em 2020–2021 pela Inteligência Naval) e o Escritório de Resolução de Anomalias em Todos os Domínios (AARO, estabelecido em julho de 2022 pelo Departamento de Defesa), que continua investigando UAP em domínios aéreo, marítimo, espacial e terrestre.
