NORAD is a bi-national military organization established on September 12, 1957, through a joint Canadian-U.S. alliance to provide aerospace warning, aerospace control, and maritime warning for North America. Headquartered at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado, it operates an integrated network of radars, satellites, interceptor aircraft, and command centers under a U.S. commander with a Canadian deputy commander. In recent years, NORAD has adapted its detection protocols and established anomaly classification teams to address unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) incidents, working in coordination with the U.S. All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). The command historically filtered out slow-moving and smaller objects from its radar detection systems, but modified these parameters following 2023 UAP incidents.

NORAD é uma organização militar binacional estabelecida em 12 de setembro de 1957, através de uma aliança conjunta Canadá-Estados Unidos para fornecer alerta aeroespacial, controle aeroespacial e alerta marítimo para a América do Norte. Com sede na Base Espacial Peterson em Colorado, opera uma rede integrada de radares, satélites, aviões interceptadores e centros de comando sob comando de um oficial dos EUA com um vice-comandante canadense. Nos últimos anos, NORAD adaptou seus protocolos de detecção e estabeleceu equipes de classificação de anomalias para lidar com incidentes de fenômenos anômalos não identificados (UAP), trabalhando em coordenação com o All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) dos EUA. Historicamente, o comando filtrava objetos lentos e menores de seus sistemas de detecção de radar, mas modificou esses parâmetros após incidentes de UAP em 2023.
