The Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU), a data-driven organization of scientists, academics, and research professionals dedicated to conducting and supporting open scientific research into unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), released the following announcement:
Today, the SCU published “The Reported Shape, Size, Kinematics, Electromagnetic Effects, and Presence of Sound of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena from Select Reports, 1947-2016” by Robert M. Powell, Larry Hancock, Laiba Hasan, Sarah Little, Robinson Truong, and Tobi Kamoru.
This paper provides robust information on basic UAP shapes and associated sizes, kinematic and electromagnetic effects, and presence of sound, collected from 301 UAP reports submitted between 1947 and 2016. The analysis draws on raw UAP report data from five primary databases, one military, and four civilian. The approach minimizes the uncertainty in these witness reports by selecting for the reliability of observations, object angular size greater than 0.15 degrees, sufficient lighting, and sufficient information detail.

Great work on this SCU! I have included two notable tables from the report below, however, the entire report is very interesting and I encourage you to read it in it’s entirety. All credit to the authors of the report (these tables are not my own work, it is theirs, obviously). The report also notes that “All 301 files used in the development of this paper are available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10287332” for anyone who wants to verify their work from source data.
/u/showmeufos personal takeaways: I’m surprised that “disk without dome” is apparently far more common than “disk with dome.” “Disk with dome” sounds like the classic “flying saucer” shape, but it seems of disk shaped objects 85% of them do not have a dome. Weird! Additionally, “cylinder” shaped objects would probably match “tic-tac” sightings, but seem quite rare (5% of sightings). For all the talk about “orbs” being seen all over the world, and that orbs are the most likely to be balloons etc, only 6% of sightings are spheres. Also, if you see a triangle, it’s probably LARGE (163 feet?). TR3B anyone? Hah.
This is table 2 from the published report.
