Joint CIRVIS Reporting Protocols for Vital Sightings (Canada–U.S.)
To the point
Canada and the United States must report vital sightings that could threaten security—such as unidentified aircraft, missiles, submarines, surface vessels, or unusual activity—and include a precise set of details (observer identity, object description, course and maneuvers, timing in UTC, location, weather, equipment used, any interception actions, and any evidence like photos), with immediate reporting if seen in the air and post-landing reporting if not, and Jim Klotz, Chris Lambright, and Dale Goudie are noted as associated with sharing these rules.
