Possible Aviation Hazards From UFOs Revealed in NASA Incident Reports

   The Intelligence Debrief   
      
   In a recent investigation by The Debrief, a number of striking   
   incident reports logged over several decades with the NASA-maintained   
   Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) detail pilot encounters with   
   unidentified aerial phenomena. In many of the incident reports we   
   uncovered, the aircraft or objects were often observed in close   
   proximity to the pilots, who in at least some instances feared the   
   potential for a midair collision.   
      
   One of the most intriguing reports we uncovered in our investigation   
   involved a sighting of a group of unusual aircraft over Greene County,   
   New York, in 2015. The pilot, who stated in a report later detailing   
   the incident that he and his passenger "could not see any kind of   
   wings, rotors, or form of propulsion" on the devices, nonetheless   
   referred to them as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In fact, very   
   seldom in reports logged by pilots involving observations, or even   
   near-collisions with unidentified craft, do terms such as "UFO" or its   
   more sanitized alternative, "UAP," appear in writing.

   This points to a serious potential hazard faced by the aviation   
   community, although not particularly one that is directly posed by   
   such aerial objects. Rather, the problem exists within the "culture of   
   ridicule" surrounding the UFO topic, which has largely dissuaded   
   pilots from reporting incidents that involve unrecognized objects they   
   have encountered. If unidentified aircraft or objects of any kind are   
   operating in our skies which might represent a potential hazard to the   
   safety of pilots, crew, and passengers, it is vital for aviation   
   officials to have the ability to gather reliable information about   
   such incidents and assess them.   
      
   Do unidentified flying objects pose a threat to aircraft? The answer   
   is yes# but only if aviation professionals continue to be encouraged   
   to ignore them out of fear of ridicule.
