Introduction

Publication of the report is going to cause increased attention to the UAP all over the world. Additionally, researchers who
studied and addressed these issues will be now de-stigmatized. Their scientific works are expected to be more frequently
highlighted. There is possibility for them to receive certain acknowledgments and become opinion-makers in this area.
The “Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” report is a phenomena itself, which is going to become a
trigger for follow-up acknowledgment of UAP in other countries besides the US. Consequently, a number of new reports
provided by these countries within the next 2 years are expected to appear. All of the UAP-related reports, disclosures, and
discoveries will be monitored and analyzed in our new overviews and case studies .

The recent 9-page US Report apparently is only tip of the iceberg. Clearly, there is a sealed, fuller report which was presented
to the Congress. The Report is aiming to provide means to define and elaborate on relevant policies and technologies for the
U.S. military and other U.S. Government (USG) personnel.

Due to the growing UAP recognition, data appearance and potential development of the area, SpaceTech Analytics presents
a special case study Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Global Overview 2021.

Interest in UAPs has risen from a lull Google Searches for “UAP” in the World, 2004-2021
over the past years, with a peak
occurring these days in response to
newly released research "Preliminary

(ODNI).

The chart to the right is a clear

indication that the published review
has increased attention to the UAPs
worldwide.

Obviously, the government's UAP

program and the report have spawned
a news cycle that has shot references
about UAP back into the mainstream.

Note: The numbers on this graph show the popularity of a search term relative to the high point on the graph for a particular region and time
period. 100 is the peak popularity of a term. 50 means that the popularity of the term is half as high.

A Gallup poll, made in 2019, found that 68% of Americans believe the government wasn't being completely clear about
the UAPs. However, regardless of what Americans thought of the government's awareness of them, 86% of U.S. adults
said they have heard of or read about unidentified aerial phenomena. That's why the publication of the Pentagon's
research caused such a resonance worldwide.

US Report Overview and Conclusions / UAP Recognition

Probably one of the most important takeaways of the report is the UAP recognition. Moreover, it states in the report that
data gathering and analysis have been executing for 17 years straight. During this period, 144 unresolved UAP-related
incidents were documented. One of the first question arises whether or not general public will be able to assess the data of
such incidents, including the comments from governmental authorities.

As was mentioned before, the recognition of the UAP will reshape the structure of the current opinion-makers, including
scientists who have been studying such phenomena. This, in turn, might also affect the current R&D focus and existing
policies of all types. The unclassified origin of this report brings some other issues, namely the report does not provide any
solid or groundbreaking conclusions, and many issues remain, it should put an end to years of intragovernmental infighting
over the subject.

US Report Overview and Conclusions / Programs

As it was clearly stated in the report, there is an urgent need in

additional financing of the UPA-related programas. As for now,
Space-based Machine Automated Recognition Technique Program
(SMART) and Creation of Operationally Realistic 3D Environment
(CORE3D) could be treated as such programs. Another example of
the potentially useful programs is Amon-Hen that worked on
innovative, low-cost approaches for passive, ground-based
interferometric imaging of GEO satellites.

Such programs are mainly related to the activity of Intelligence

Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA). In case of additional
financial support, it is forecasted that more entities of such nature
will emerge since it is important to consolidate the process of data
gathering and data evaluation.

At the same time, the probability of such support is definitely high

since, as it was mentioned in the report, UAP might pose threats not
only to flight safety but also to the whole national security of the
United States. This might also bring some additional support to the
research laboratories and universities as R&D centers. Another
question that arises is whether or not such support will affect
educational system, bringing more opportunities for faculties.

US Report Summary

UAP recognition
● The report states that since 2004 there were at least 144 unresolved UPA-related incidents. Over that time period,
such phenomena were being taken more seriously.
● The US government has publicly acknowledged that strange aerial sightings by Navy pilots and others are worthy of
legitimate scrutiny.
● Although the report does not provide solid or groundbreaking conclusions, and many issues remain, it should put an
end to years of intragovernmental infighting over the subject.
The Need For Further R&D
● The report emphasizes the need to prioritize and guide future theoretical and observable studies. This relates, in
particular, to non-radio "techno-signatures" — that is, observable manifestations of technology, particularly those that
could be detected through astronomical or other means.
● Considering the nature of UAPs, there is a need for a coherent explanation that will accommodate and connect all the
facts of the events. For this purpose, interdisciplinary scientific investigation is necessary.
● The crucial point is to end frivolous speculation and develop a professional approach to studying the problem. It
implies a need to expand the coordination between agencies, standardize the reporting, increase investment in
research, etc. The approach should account for possible social and security threats as well as benefits.
Unknown Nature of UAPs
● The stigma associated with reporting such phenomena has ended, and it is now officially recognized as very real.
Moreover, the 5 potential UAP sources framework was proposed in the report.
● According to the title, this preliminary report is only the beginning of something much bigger. As we move forward
from here, the consequences of further targeted research could have unpredictable and profound effects on our
understanding of physics, with all that implies for science-fictional technology advancement, and of our place in the
universe. 17

On the other hand, UAP-unrelated investigational programs play significant role in the process of the UAP analysis since
they provide additional information about the atmospheric or other physical process on other planets. Such information, in
turn, might help us to understand our own geophysical phenomena. These programs can also provide additional means for
the UAP-related programs. As for United States, probably one of the most recent and advanced are The Juno Mission, The
InSight Mission and Mars and Jupiter exploration missions. These programs could also provide technical solutions for UAP
programs since different types of sensors and detectors play key role for satellites, robots and other SpaceTech solutions.

Two main NASA missions: Mars and Jupiter exploration

Citing discoveries that have "produced exceptional science," NASA has decided to add several years to two of its planetary
science missions: the Jupiter Juno mission and the Mars InSight lander.
"The Senior Review has validated that these two planetary science missions are likely to continue to bring new discoveries,
and produce new questions about our solar system," said Lori Glaze, director of the planetary science division at NASA
Headquarters in Washington.

It is well-known that atmospheric

processes on Jupiter and Mars differ
dramatically from ones could be
observed on Earth. Such projects
might seem unrelated to the UPA
programs but, as was mentioned
before, the technologies created
during the preparation for these
programs might help scientists, pilots
and other related personnels in data
aggregation. These programs might
also provide additional policy

The Beginning of the Small Satellite Era Nanosatellite Launches by Organisations

Small and Nano Satellites are important

technical solutions for both present and
future UAP programs since they allow to
monitor and analyze enormous amount
of information and are less expensive in
comparison to the classical satellites.
After the acknowledgement of the UAP
by the US Government, we forecast the
participation of other countries in this
“informational race”.
In this situation small satellites will play
the key role as one of the collaboration
technical solution. The country which
possess the most profound small

race and, thus, will be able to promote
its own interests worldwide. This may, in
turn, affect the economy of this country

Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (or SETI) is a collective term for

a scientific search for intelligent extraterrestrial life, involving monitoring
electromagnetic radiation for signs of transmissions from civilizations
on other planets. Most of the work is done with the help of radio
telescopes looking for radio or laser transmissions. It is a pretty rare
occasion that such telescope stumbles upon a signal that is not
considered to be normal or known, but even if it does, there is a long
procedure before it can become a candidate for extraterrestrial
transmission. First, the telescope is moved away from the signal and
returned back. The signal must disappear and reappear again to prove
that the signal is coming from the telescope's field of view. Then known
Earth or near-Earth sources, such as satellites, must be ruled out as
originators of the signal. Same goes for known natural extraterrestrial
sources, such as pulsars. Afterwards the signal must be confirmed by
another radio telescope.

The project called Breakthrough Listen is made to search for intelligent

extraterrestrial communications in the Universe. The project uses radio
wave observations from the Green Bank Observatory and the Parkes
Observatory, and visible light observations from the Automated Planet
Finder. All data generated from the project are available to the public.

are expected every 6 months.

There is a crucial thing in SETI. In order to find life, you first have to find planets that are habitable. In
order to be considered habitable the planet should remain its orbit not too close and not too far
from its star, because the equilibrium temperature influences the possibility of liquid water being
present on the planet’s surface. The star shouldn’t have frequent and powerful solar flares, because
otherwise any life form would be wiped out by a deadly dose of radiation. Humanity knows about 47
potentially habitable planets, and 11 of them are quite likely to have water on their surfaces.
Moreover there are theoretically at least 25 millions of Earth-sized planets in Milky Way that lay in
the habitable zone of their stars, but it is not clear if there is any life there. That is why such thing as
biosignatures exists. Those are mostly gases, such as Ozone, Methane, Carbon Dioxide or Water,
that carbon-based lifeforms need or produce. Spectral characteristics of the starlight transmitted
through the planet’s atmosphere reveal the gases within. So seeing such gases in the atmosphere
leads us to a conclusion, that life is really possible on that planet.

Starshot Breakthrough is a project that aims to launch a tiny vehicle

with a speed of one fifth of the speed of light to the closest star
system Proxima Centauri, that is situated only in 4,2 light years from
Solar System. The idea is to survey the planet called Proxima b,
because it lays in the habitable zone of its planet and spectral
analysis shows that it is likely to have fluid water on it surface.
Moreover, the latest signal BLC-1, that is considered to be a possible
techno-signature, was received from the same star system. The
technology is that a set of lightweight probes are launched from the
low Earth orbit and propelled by nearly a billion laser beams, creating
a pulse with the power of 100 gigawatts for several minutes.

The probes have a quarter inch chip each, that weighs five
grams and fulfills the function of a camera, laser transmitter,
computer and a navigation system. The crucial point of the
technology is a giant featherweight foil sail that will be pushed
by the laser beam. The information received by the probes in
approximately 20 years after the launch will be transmitted
back to Earth via laser, that will travel home for another 4
years. The scientists expect to prove the existence of liquid
water on the planet.

Messaging to Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (METI) also known

as Active SETI is an initiative by a group of astronomists and
astrobiologists made to contact the extraterrestrial intelligence
with mostly radio messages. In 2010, Douglas A. Vakoch of the
SETI Institute proposed to integrate the Active SETI and Passive
SETI programs to engage in an articulated, ongoing, and
developing set of experiments to contact another civilisation,
considering all the problems like the Fermi Paradox. Articulated in
this case means a well-designed message that could be
interpreted by any sapient organism, that doesn’t know anything

encoded messages or musical compositions. Physical messages

Future of R&D

As it was mentioned before, satellites, including small and

nanosatellites could play a key role in the process of
UAP-related data gathering and evaluation. Based on that,
we prospect additional financial support for the
satellites-related scientific programs and R&D centers
working on the technological solutions for the satellites
systems. One of the most important trends are said to be
special satellites sensors and telecommunication solutions
allowing to transfer data rapidly and in high resolution.

Such advances might, in turn, boost existing

satellite-related technologies, including observational
systems, telecommunication, and even energy producing,
for example, via the Satellite Solar Power. The additional
attention to this sector will allow governmental centers to
boost their scientific processes, as well as create additional
competition among governmental and private SpaceTech
companies.

At the same time it is important to allocate this financial support equally but this will require additional safety and non disclosure policies.
Another important thing is how to create new international collaboration policies and formats for these R&D projects.

Risk Framework: Explanation

Actuation of national nuclear defense systems (S1). Possible risks are associated with false warnings of military systems
due to reactions on UAP. Most of the close calls of accidental nuclear war were triggered by errors in early warning
systems.
The actions of other countries disguised as UAP can significantly reduce the efficiency of strategic sectors of the
economy through cyberattacks (S2).
Satellite telecommunication disruption due to objects collisions (S3). Telecommunications infrastructure in Earth orbit is
endangered due to the risk of collision with space debris / unidentified object.
Stock market panic (E1). False or unverified information about UAPs can cause panic in financial markets, which
significantly increases asset volatility and cause significant losses to the economy.
Shortage of vital goods (E2). Unverified information can cause public panic, which will significantly increase demand for
essential goods, cause shortages and increase prices.
Bacteriological pandemic (B1). The main biologically-driven threats of the near future include the risk of pandemics or the
use of biological weapons.
Social panic and mass psychosis (B2) may be caused by unverified research information on unidentified aerial
phenomena.
Slowdown in financing for the development of the 5th industrial revolution (T). If UAPs do not exist in reality, the
diversion of resources to this problem and the fears associated with it may divert attention from main technological
problems such as the development of artificial intelligence, nanotechnology breakthrough, irreversible global warming and
the risks of hadron colliders.

Summary
The “Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” report published by the Office of the Director of National
Intelligence (ODNI) is the first report of its kind. Its emergence should be treated as a part of a future international trend
concerning the UAP.

It is hard to underestimate the international influence of the aforementioned report. As a SpaceTech leader, the United
States have created new info trend that can’t be ignored by other countries and international Space Agencies, therefore we
forecast the emergence of the akin reports among other international SpaceTech players.

The influence of the report is not informational solely, it was clearly stated in the report that additional financial support is
needed, therefore we prospect the reshaping of the scientific attitude to the UAP scene, as well as additional attention to
the R&D processes concerning the UAP programs and technical solutions.

As it was shown in our case study, UAP is not a unique phenomenon to the United States. On the other hand, the
acknowledgment and official reaction to the report by other countries are of great importance for the future development
of the UAP scene.

At the same time, the future participation of other countries in the UAP-related collaborations is clear, therefore the
importance of the SpaceTech ecosystem possessed by countries will gain additional importance in the foreseeable future.

In this situation, the importance of the DeepTech analysis is growing rapidly. It is clear that data gathering and analysis,
creation of the relevant policies, optimization of the existing technologies and future role of the UAP at the economical
level require adequate means, which could be only provided by the DeepTech industry.
