(U) UAP PROBABLY LACK A SINGLE EXPLANATION (U) The UAP documented in this limited dataset demonstrate an array of aerial behaviors, reinforcing the possibility there are multiple types of UAP requiring different explanations . Our analysis of the data supports the construct that if and when individual UAP incidents are resolved they will fall into one of five potential explanatory categories: airborne clutter , natural atmospheric phenomena , usa or industry developmental programs , foreign adversary systems , and a catchall "other" bin. With the exception of the one instance where we determined with high confidence that the reported UAP was airborne clutter , specifically a deflating balloon , we currently lack sufficient information in our dataset to attribute incidents to particular explanations . 1.4(a)(c)(g) 6.2(d) 50 u.s.c. § 3024(1) I 50 U.S .C. § 3024(i) Airborne Clutter: These objects include birds , balloons, recreational unmanned aerial vehicles (UA V) , or airborne debris like plastic bags that muddle a scene and affect an __ ability to identify true targets, such as enemy aircraft.
