UFOs are now called UAPs to encourage serious discussion and research beyond alien spacecraft narratives.The new term aims to broaden the scope and understanding of unexplained aerial and undersea phenomena.Recent scientific research explores past UAP studies and emphasizes the need for a more systematic approach.The study, led by Kevin Knuth from the State University of New York, reviews historical UAP research globally.Challenges in studying UAPs include lack of repeatability and reliability of witness reports.The efforts to understand UAPs have gained mainstream traction, exemplified by the AATIP and NASA's studies.The future of UAP research requires rigorous scientific methodologies and collaboration among researchers worldwide.Satellite data, AI, and cloud computing present opportunities to enhance UAP studies and data analysis.Democratization of data sharing and use of advanced technologies can revolutionize the study of UAP phenomena.A focused, long-term research approach grounded in scientific standards is essential to unravel the mysteries surrounding UAPs.
