New FOIA document sheds light on how the European Union’s Commission considers UAP
Chris Gaffney released on 23 September 2024 a document obtained by FOIA written at the request of President Von Der Leyen and Commissioner Gabriel concerning UAPs.
The document states:
“Unidentifed aerial phenomena (UAP) seen in the sky have been puzzling humankind for as long as we have known. We are getting better at seeing it, and better identifying it, as our technological capacities improve, but we need to get even better. That is why the European Commission is proposing to the 27 Member States of the European Union (EU) that the EU should increase its ability to detect objects in the space environment around the Earth. This is partly to help us better identify the UAPs that you have seen and the many pieces of space debris that endanger the many uses of space. We do not claim that in the future this will solve all cases like those you have reported but maybe some of them.”
Written in response to a request regarding the report of a UAP sighting over Malaysia, this document shows a knowledge of the subject and an involvement on the part of the head of the European Commission which contrasts with the response given by the European aviation authorities at the last conference on UAPs at the European Parliament. At that time, the representative of these authorities stated that a system enabling pilots to report all sightings already existed, before leaving the debates. The mention of interplanetary space surveillance could indicate that the European Union is be more inclined to examine UAPs in this light, an avenue currently being developed by the UAP Coalition Netherlands.
Sentinel News is able to confirm that this document did indeed come from the European Commission, and would like to thank its services for their quick reply. The European Commission has a monopoly on legislative initiative and as guardian of the European treaties, it defends the general interests of the Union. It embodies the executive power of the EU.
