A new turning point in planetary defense
Stories of UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) have always captured the public imagination, but recently a new form of threat seems to be emerging from the depths of the oceans. Called USOs (Unidentified Submerged Objects), these phenomena are now seriously challenging the American government, to the point of redefining legislation and surveillance policies.

The trigger: disturbing incidents and testimonies
Since the 1990s, there have been accounts supporting the existence of the USOs, including the 1992 incident in which more than 200 disc-shaped objects reportedly emerged from the waters of Santa Monica Bay. These accounts, corroborated by military observations, including that reported by U.S. Navy Chief Charles Howard at Guantanamo, laid the foundations for a thorough government investigation.
A revealing change in terminology
The adoption of the term “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena” (UAP) instead of “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” (UAP) by the US government is not insignificant. This change, although subtle, underscores an awareness of the diversity of potential threats, now including trans-medium phenomena capable of navigating between air and sea.
The government's response: creation of AARO
In response to growing pressure for increased monitoring of these phenomena, the Department of Defense established the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). The office aims to standardize the collection and reporting of UAP observations, affirming the government's desire to demystify and secure the areas in question.
Technology and inter-agency collaboration
AARO, through its collaboration with other federal agencies, is trying to refine detection and analysis technologies, focusing on the trans-medium aspects of UAPs. This initiative is crucial to anticipate and potentially neutralize threats before they reach populated areas or critical infrastructure.
Scientific implications and challenges
Exploring UAPs is not only a matter of national security, but also opens doors to new dimensions of science. Research can revolutionize our understanding of physical and environmental phenomena, providing new insights into fields as diverse as aerospace and marine biology.
The Future of PAN Research
With the upcoming inauguration of the NEO Surveyor telescope in 2027, researchers hope to improve the detection and analysis of trans-medium objects. This tool should greatly enrich our database on UAPs, thus refining response and prevention strategies.
Continuous monitoring
Although the threat of UAVs, including USOs, is not yet fully understood or accepted by all, efforts by the government and scientific communities show a growing commitment to protecting Earth from yet unfathomable dangers.
