Assessment of UAP Indicators in the SCU Activity Pattern Study (1945–1975): Seven Intention Scenarios and Shifts in Reporting Patterns

To the point

A study analyzes 597 UAP reports from 1945–1975 to evaluate seven intents—Survey, Recognition, Contact, Communication, Collaboration, Unilateral Assistance, and Unilateral Exploitation—finding a shift from daytime, military intrusions to nighttime, close public encounters, with early evidence of intelligent action and advanced technology giving way to a focus on human behavioral studies and some signs of contact but limited likelihood of communication, collaboration, or exploitation, and the results are documented in a 1,163‑report database published as a downloadable PDF by Hancock, Porritt, Grosvenor, Cates, and Pierson.
