Enrichment (EN)

Disambiguation: Not a single named operation but rather the institutional framework encompassing multiple historical and contemporary protocols for military reporting of unidentified aerial phenomena. Includes Air Force Regulation 200-2 (1950s), AFI 10-206, Navy procedures (2019+), and AARO coordination (2022+).

The Unidentified Flying Objects Reporting Protocol comprises the institutional framework and procedural requirements established by the U.S. Department of Defense and military branches for documenting and reporting encounters with unidentified aerial phenomena. Historically rooted in Air Force Regulation 200-2 (1953-1954) and subsequent regulations such as Air Force Instruction 10-206, the protocol evolved through regional implementations (e.g., Alaskan Air Command Regulation 200-5) and multi-service guidance (JANAP 146(E)). In 2019, the Navy formalized a standardized reporting mechanism, followed by Air Force adoption in 2020. Contemporary reporting procedures are coordinated through the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), established by Congress in 2022, which investigates unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP)—the modernized terminology replacing UFO. The protocol remains active and operational, with military personnel required to report sightings through official channels.

O Protocolo de Relatório de Objetos Voadores Não Identificados compreende a estrutura institucional e os requisitos procedimentais estabelecidos pelo Departamento de Defesa dos EUA e pelos ramos militares para documentar e relatar encontros com fenômenos aéreos não identificados. Com raízes históricas na Regulação 200-2 da Força Aérea (1953-1954) e regulações subsequentes como a Instrução 10-206 da Força Aérea, o protocolo evoluiu através de implementações regionais (por exemplo, Regulação 200-5 do Comando Aéreo do Alasca) e orientação multi-serviços (JANAP 146(E)). Em 2019, a Marinha formalizou um mecanismo de relatório padronizado, seguido pela adoção pela Força Aérea em 2020. Os procedimentos de relatório contemporâneos são coordenados pelo Escritório de Resolução de Anomalias em Todos os Domínios (AARO), estabelecido pelo Congresso em 2022, que investiga fenômenos anômalos não identificados (UAP)—a terminologia modernizada que substitui UFO. O protocolo permanece ativo e operacional, com pessoal militar obrigado a relatar avistamentos através de canais oficiais.
