This new web page started June 15, 2021 will describe reported UAP flight and other behavioral characteristics. For example, trans-medium travel is not flight.
1) National Aviation Reporting Center On Anomalous Phenomena
"NARCAP has investigated, documented, and analyzed aviation safety-related observations and incidents that may involve Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, UAP, since 1999."
"A Very General Overview of the History of UAP and Aviation"
https://www.narcap.org/blog/advisoryforpilots, by Director of Research, Ted Roe, June 2019
"Aircrews and Air Traffic Controllers (ATC) have been reporting UAP and UFOs throughout the history of powered flight."
" Many of these observations and incidents involve safety factors. While the government, usually the military, has had a passing interest in UAP the data has moved away from the aviation community and safety planners, leaving no support for aircrews and ATC."
"Although the US NAVY has recently implemented a reporting plan to address pilot complaints of safety factors involving UAP, that information is not available to safety planners. The Federal Aviation Administration, FAA, offers no leadership or guidance to civil or commercial aviation and suggests that aircrews and ATC that want to report UAP observations and incidents can do it to somewhere other than the FAA or the US government."
"Some UAP Characteristics:"
"1. UAP appear as an unexpected and unusual light (UAP/Light), or object (UAP/Object), or an object with lights attached or nearby."
"2. UAP can appear individually and they can appear in groups."
"3. UAP can vary in size from a foot across to a mile or more."
"4. UAP can appear at any altitude, during any phase of flight, and in controlled/ restricted airspace like airports. UAP can appear during any weather and at any hour."
"5. UAP can be exceptionally mobile and can perform seemingly instantaneous transits, extreme accelerations, acute angle turns, sudden stops, and they can hover in place for long durations. UAP appear to "fly" in a manner that is inconsistent with fluid dynamics. Their movements can appear "odd" and can be entirely unexpected and startling for witnesses."
My Comments
In my opinion, the UAP characteristics listed above are similar to descriptions of the Nimitz incident Tic Tacs.
NARCAP presents a significant amount of evidence UAPs exist and they have non-human behavior.

"1. Anti-gravity lift"
"Unlike any known aircraft, these objects have been sighted overcoming the earth’s gravity with no visible means of propulsion. They also lack any flight surfaces, such as wings. In the Nimitz incident, witnesses describe the crafts as tubular, shaped like a Tic Tac candy."
"2. Sudden and instantaneous acceleration"
"The objects may accelerate or change direction so quickly that no human pilot could survive the g-forces they would be crushed. In the Nimitz incident, radar operators say they tracked one of the UFOs as it dropped from the sky at more than 30 times the speed of sound. Black Aces squadron commander David Fravor, the Nimitz-based fighter pilot who was sent to intercept one of the objects, likened its rapid side-to-side movements, later captured on infrared video, to that of a ping-pong ball. Radar operators on the USS Princeton, part of the Nimitz carrier group, tracked the object accelerating from a standing position to traveling 60 miles in a minute - an astounding 3,600 miles an hour. According to manufacturer Boeing, the F/A 18 Super Hornet fighter jet typically currently reaches a maximum speed of Mach 1.6, or about 1,200 miles an hour."
"3. Hypersonic velocities without signatures"
"If an aircraft travels faster than the speed of sound, it typically leaves "signatures," like vapor trails and sonic booms. Many UFO accounts note the lack of such evidence."
"4. Low observability, or cloaking"
"Even when objects are observed, getting a clear and detailed view of them - either through pilot sightings, radar or other means remains difficult. Witnesses generally only see the glow or haze around them."
"5. Trans-medium travel"
"Some UAP have been seen moving easily in and between different environments, such as space, the earth’s atmosphere and even water. In the Nimitz incident, witnesses described a UFO hovering over a churning "disturbance" just under the ocean's otherwise calm surface, leading to speculation that another craft had entered the water. USS Princeton radar operator Gary Vorhees later confirmed from a Navy sonar operator in the area that day that a craft was moving faster than 70 knots, roughly two times the speed of nuclear subs."
3) Estimating Flight Characteristics of Anomalous Unidentified Aerial Vehicles, September 25, 2019
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7514271/
"These unidentified craft typically exhibit anomalous flight characteristics, such as traveling at extremely high speeds, changing direction or accelerating at extremely high rates, and hovering motionless for long periods of time. Furthermore, these craft appear to violate the laws of physics in that they do not have flight or control surfaces, any visible means of propulsion apparently violating Newton’s Third Law, and can operate in multiple media, such as space (low Earth orbit), air, and water without apparent hindrance"
