Air Force Regulation 200-2: Unidentified Flying Objects Reporting (UFOB)

The document sets forth that Air Force interest in UFOBs is twofold: as a possible threat to the security of the United States and its forces, and to determine technical aspects involved. It requires prompt reporting through military channels, with specific formats for messages that include details on size, shape, color, speed, altitude, direction, and any maneuvers. Evidence such as photographs, radar recordings, or material is to be forwarded to designated commands. The regulation emphasizes that only the Secretary of the Air Force or the Department of Defense may release information on specific sightings, and Air Force personnel must not speculate or comment publicly. It applies to all Air Force activities worldwide.
