The National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena was established late in the year 2000 in response to an identified need for high quality
scientific and technological data about so-called anomalous aerial phenomena of various kinds and U.S. aviation safety.

Good news is that NARCAP is conducting an investigation into the Mexican military ufo case on behalf of the Mexican government. No statements will be
made until the investigation is finished.
When the report will be made public, however, look for the phrase UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena) not ufo. Why? read this!
Pilots afraid to report incidents!

Really good point here - UFOs are not always referred to as ufos, as the term ufo has a stigma of craziness about it - maybe some foia searches for
uap are needed.

One of the reasons that Official Government documents dont use the term UFO is to circumvent the Freedom Of Information Act.
A lot of documents now use terms such as Unknown Ariel Phenonemen and Unidentified Extraterrestrial Sightings etc etc etc.
Unless you know the term that was used in each document you are likely to end up within a maze of FOIA protocol.
If you ask for FOIA info on say a UFO in say Montreal, if the Official Documents relate to it as a UAP or UES or other acronyms then you are likely
to get a response along the lines "we have no papers on UFOs in Montreal".
Pretty crafty eh.
Know your nomenclature !
The term UFO is very old hat nowadays !!

I don't like it, but, ya got to admit that is very clever-something the US gov. often lacks.
