JANAP 146 and AFR 200-2: Broad UFO-Disclosure Prohibitions Across Military and Civilian Aviation and Maritime Sectors
To the point
Disclosing information about unidentified flying objects is illegal and can bring up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine, with the prohibition extending across military and civilian aviation and maritime communities—from military personnel and commercial pilots to merchant mariners and, per a PDF, fishing boat captains and civilian pilots, showing a broad effort to keep such sightings confidential.
