ASA welcomes Trump’s directive to release government UAP files, but transparency is just the start. ASA’s database holds 1,100+ encounters from pilots and the public. The real issue: FAA reg 14 CFR §67 threatens pilot medical certificates for UAP reports, keeping 90-95% of sightings unreported. ASA is ready to bridge pilots, the public, government, and industry with standardized protocols, training programs, and data integration. File release won’t answer everything. ASA will continue supporting witness and investigating what’s in the airspace.
