Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), formerly referred to as "UFOs," represent a global field of research that is gaining increasing scientific and security-related significance.
Despite numerous credible sightings, much about the nature and origin of these phenomena remains unknown. A systematic investigation is therefore essential to collect reliable data and gain well-founded insights.
The Interdisciplinary Research Center for Extraterrestrial Studies (IFEX) at the University of Würzburg is dedicated, among other things, to the scientific study of UAP. One of its core objectives is to systematically analyze sightings and evaluate them using scientific methods in order to establish a sound data foundation.
As a pilot, you are professionally trained to observe the sky attentively. Your experience, expertise, and precise perception make your observations particularly valuable for research. By submitting a report, you contribute to a better understanding of the phenomenon and help close existing data gaps.
We recognize that UAP sightings have often been stigmatized in the past. Our goal is to provide a professional and scientifically grounded platform that encourages pilots to share their observations without hesitation.
Every report helps to investigate the topic objectively and based on data, thereby contributing to a more neutral and informed perspective.
This reporting form was developed by IFEX to systematically collect and evaluate pilot sightings. It is intentionally designed as a brief and simple submission to lower the threshold for initial reporting. A more detailed analysis may follow, carried out through direct mutual communication. Over time, the form will be expanded with additional features.
Contribute to science – report your sighting and support the scientific investigation of UAP!
