WHAT ARE UAP
Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) is anything in space and air, on land, and in the sea that cannot be identified. In the past, the term Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) was used but as improved sensor platforms started detecting more phenomena in other domains (in particular the sea), a new acronym and definition was adopted.
UAP exhibit characteristics that are unique and unidentified. Experts use the term “The Five Characteristics.” If at least one of these characteristics is observed, it is categorized as a UAP.
Positive Lift – The ability to fly without apparent means of propulsion or lift.
Instantaneous Acceleration – The ability to reach a high rate of speed in a very short amount of time.
Hypersonic Velocity (Without Signatures) – The ability to travel faster than five times the speed of sound (6175 km/h) with no accompanying auditory or physical effects.
Trans-Medium Travel – The ability to seamlessly move through space, air, and water.
Low Observability – The ability to conceal from visual and sensor observation.
There are many theories about the origins of UAP, ranging from natural phenomena to technologies not yet known to the general public.
Although there are many rumors and stories about UAP, there is no scientific evidence to date to suggest that these phenomena come from non-natural sources.
However, there are a growing number of countries such as the United States, Canada, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, Brazil, Chile, Russia and China that are researching UAP and collecting data to understand these phenomena.
It is also important for the Netherlands and the European Union to conduct research into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, as this can lead to improved safety and security of the airspace above the Netherlands and the European Union. Furthermore, research can lead to technological innovations and economic growth.
