UAP is the U.S. government's term for unexplained phenomena in air, space, land or sea, including UFOs.

The object rose vertically to about 90m above a ridge without tilting, hovered for roughly 20 seconds, then accelerated horizontally—covering approximately 2.4km in about 3 seconds, a speed the report likened to fighter jets—emitted no sound and disappeared.
