Unidentified Aerial Phenomena

Only records officially released, declassified, or radar-confirmed by government bodies and aviation authorities. A daily scan runs for new verified reports.

UAP

This section is separate from Flarient's space weather monitoring. UAP records are government-verified observations — not solar, geomagnetic, or astronomical data.

UAP & Space Weather

Why radar and sensor context matters

Many UAP reports originate from radar tracks, infrared sensors and satellite instruments. These systems are sensitive to space weather: geomagnetic storms disturb the ionosphere, solar flares cause radio blackouts, and high-energy particle events produce sensor noise. A radar "anomaly" during a G3 storm may be environmental, not anomalous.

Quiet space weather right now

Current conditions are unlikely to produce sensor artifacts.

Radar refraction

Ionospheric disturbances bend and scatter HF radar signals, creating phantom tracks and false velocity readings.

Sensor noise

Solar particle events saturate infrared and optical detectors, producing streaks and flashes that mimic anomalous objects.

GPS spoofing

Scintillation during storms degrades GPS accuracy, causing position jumps that can appear as sudden manoeuvres.
