This is Part I of what I hope to be a series of posts on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, or UAPs. So, what are UAPs? First, let’s examine some of the history behind the name.
In more recent years, this has become a huge issue. Some government departments have declassified documents surrounding certain events and have actively tried to get witnesses to file reports of unexplained phenomena. The problem is most people want nothing to do with it for the exact reasons I outlined above, everyone would think they were “nuts“. So, that’s when the government decided to introduce a new term to remove some of the stigma attached to the phrase UFO. The term Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon, or (UAP) was introduced.
UAP did remove some of the stigma surrounding these strange sightings, however, many have remained uneasy about filing reports on such phenomena. There has been some traction however in giving more credibility to witness accounts. Though there are some within the US government who want such reports declassified, there are others in authority who want these events to remain classified and top secret.
In recent years, there have been an increasing number of UAP sightings around, in or entering water, or rapidly ascending into the earth’s upper atmosphere. This brought about a debate over the word “Aerial” in the acronym UAP as these objects are not confined to any one substrate. They can maneuver without issue between air, upper atmosphere, and water. Hence, the term Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (still UAP) was coined.
…stay tuned for Part II coming soon.
