PUBLIC ROUTE
A clearly identified way for eligible witnesses to report without guessing which agency is responsible.
Report a sighting WORLD TRACKER
Disclosure is not one process.
A real geographic map of public UAP systems. It records who publishes, investigates or archives material without treating any institution as an independent verification authority.
GLOBAL VIEWOriginal editorial illustration · Not case evidence
Compare systems—not headlines.
One country may run a scientific public service, another a defence-led office, and another only an archive. The tracker records those structural differences before comparing claims or case counts.
Geography: Natural Earth 1:110m via World Atlas. Markers show public-system coverage, not verified sightings.

Active statutory office
UKUnited States
AARO receives government reporting, publishes annual reports, releases case imagery and supports authorised programme disclosures. It is shown here as a government publisher, not a verification authority; its claims require independent corroboration.

FRUnited Kingdom
The MOD ceased dedicated UFO/UAP investigation in 2009. Historic files are held by The National Archives; the latest cited parliamentary answer states there is no plan for a dedicated team.

CAFrance
GEIPAN, part of the French space agency CNES, collects, analyses and publishes reports of unidentified aerospace phenomena.

CLCanada
Canada's Office of the Chief Science Advisor examined how public UAP reports are handled and communicated through the Sky Canada Project, including a January 2025 preliminary report.
Publisher record ↗Civil aviation investigation
INTChile
SEFAA, a unit of Chile's civil aviation authority, receives reports, investigates anomalous aerial observations and publishes resolved cases with an aviation-safety focus.
Publisher record ↗Fragmented public systems
International coordination
Publicly disclosed reporting, archive and investigation systems differ sharply between countries. This tracker maps only documented public systems and does not infer a unified international authority.
Publisher record ↗SYSTEM MATURITY
What a strong public process includes.
No single feature proves transparency. A credible system needs a route in, a method, published outcomes and records that remain available.
PUBLISHED METHOD
Definitions, triage criteria, analytic techniques and confidence language that the public can inspect.
CASE OUTCOMES
Resolved and unresolved examples published with enough context to understand the decision.
DURABLE ARCHIVE
Records transferred with provenance, searchable descriptions and a policy for continuing releases.
