The Unidentified Ufo/Uap Record

THE UNIDENTIFIED UFO / UAP RECORD

By Craig Coward

What do governments actually record when they encounter unidentified objects in the sky, sea, or airspace—and what do they officially admit they cannot explain?

The Unidentified UFO / UAP Record is a global, document-driven investigation built entirely from released government records, FOIA disclosures, archival material, and official statements. It does not rely on speculation, belief, or secondhand mythology. It follows the paper trail.

This book examines how modern institutions document uncertainty—what they record, what they redact, what they archive, and where the public record quietly breaks.

Rather than asking what UFOs are, this book asks a more rigorous question:

How do governments handle what they do not know?

What this book covers

• Government UFO / UAP records from the United States, United Kingdom, France, Brazil, and Commonwealth nations
• Military and pilot reporting systems—and why incidents went unreported for decades
• Intelligence agencies and the language of uncertainty
• FOIA mechanics, redactions, and why files surface incomplete
• Whistleblower claims examined against documented evidence
• Undersea and transmedium reports (USOs) and why oceans hide more than skies
• The Vatican examined as a sovereign archive—claims versus records
• Contractor-held data and why modern records disappear structurally
• Metadata, language traps, and archival blind spots that distort public understanding

What this book does not do

• It does not claim extraterrestrial visitation
• It does not rely on rumor or anonymous mythology
• It does not speculate beyond released evidence

Every chapter stops where documentation stops.

Why this book is different

Most UFO books ask readers to believe or disbelieve.

This book asks readers to read carefully.

It treats uncertainty as data, not failure—and shows how modern governments manage the unknown without pretending to solve it.

If you are looking for speculation, this is not that book.

If you are looking for the record, this is.
