To the point

Charles-Maxence Layet argues that Europe should treat Unidentified Aerial Phenomena as a strategic security and science issue by building a pan-European data collection and analysis system, integrating UAP reporting into aviation safety and space surveillance, funding it through Horizon Europe and the European Defence Fund, and strengthening international cooperation, guided by France’s GEIPAN and the Netherlands’ OVV and drawing on U.S. AARO and NASA work, with attention to 2024 moves like the European Parliament session and a civil-society call for action.
