Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to create, within 180 days, procedures for collecting, reporting, storing, and investigating aviation incidents that may involve unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), meaning objects in the air, moving between air and space or water, or underwater that cannot be immediately identified. The FAA would share these reports and data with the Department of Defense's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office and could not use the reports for enforcement except in cases of accidents or crimes. The bill bars the FAA from considering UAP sightings or reports when evaluating pilot medical or airman certificates. It also prohibits federal agencies, contractors, and air carriers from retaliating against people who see or report UAP.
