Reporting Stigma

“We also understand that there has been a cultural stigma surrounding UAP. Our goal is to eliminate the stigma by fully incorporating our operators and mission personnel into a standardized data-gathering process.”

“UAP reports have been around for decades, and yet we haven't had an orderly way for them to be reported without stigma and to be investigated.”

“Now, pilots have reported encounters for years and because of the stigma around reporting these incidents we still do not have a complete picture of actually what is going on, particularly, as your witnesses will testify, on the civilian side and that is a real problem that we have today in the country.”

“I hear over and over from many agencies the stigma around reporting and investigating UAPs prevents us from getting real answers.”
