This white paper, sponsored by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office and hosted with Associated Universities, Inc. and Florida State University, synthesizes a workshop held August 5 and 6, 2025, that brought together 40 participants. The workshop examined how to collect, standardize, link and analyze UAP narrative reports. It calls for standard metadata templates, human oversight of AI tools, triage of reports, preservation of historical records, better public reporting portals and further workshops.
16 Breakout Session #3: Pathways for Data Analysis and Interpretation at Scale Time: Day 2, 2:30-3:30 | Report-out: 3:30-3:45 Purpose: Surface knowledge about existing UAP-related data sources, understand integration barriers, and identify opportunities for improving data discovery and interoperability. Group Structure: Form 4 groups (~8–10 people each). Facilitator will record the session with audio recorder or cell phone. Facilitator or designated note-taker for each group will take notes. The group will elect a reporter to report out to the whole workshop following the breakout session. A supplementary printed document will be provided to all participants for review showing data fields collected by the reporting tool described in the scenario below. Scenario: An agency has launched a new online tool for the public to report UAP. The tool has collected over 1,000 reports, each saved as a PDF (see fields in printed document). Guiding Questions: 1. What would you change about the data collection form? 2. What could you do with this dataset? 3. What cleaning techniques can be applied? How could this dataset be linked to others, such as data from other non-government organizations?
