Reporting Mechanism

“The Aviation Safety Reporting System is an existing system that is trusted, that has taken hundreds of thousands, now millions, of cases”

“We have been approached by pilots, I have talked to folks that have been engaged with our office and others, and there is still enormous stigma, and essentially we do not have a system where folks are feeling free to be able to report what they are seeing”

“it is something that pilots are used to reporting on, that crew is used to reporting on. So, it is a great way to get data, to overcome the stigma, without spending really that much more additional money since the system exists”

“it is important that more civilian pilots, commercial pilots report so we can better understand and learn and do research on UAP, as well as remove the stigma so more citizens report on what they observe”

“it is incredibly important that civilian pilots have the opportunity to safely report the UAPs that they are seeing or encountering in the air”

“recognizing budgetary constraints, this seems like the perfect way to be able to gain more data”

“this is a very bipartisan piece of legislation, and we have just got to continue to get this through the Congress”

“I cannot express how critical this piece is, of what I believe is a larger collection of evidence and facts, actually happen”

“This is a commonsense means to expose the truth of UAP for the purpose of this hearing”
