Aero-Linx!
Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough, if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this is done on the Internet.
The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into cyber-aero-space for awhile.
Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always welcome, as well.
Aero Linx: National Aviation Reporting Center For Anomalous Phenomena
NARCAP has investigated, documented, and analyzed aviation safety-related observations and incidents that may involve Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, UAP, since 1999. Many reports by pilots and aviation professionals of observations and incidents involving unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP, include aviation safety factors. NARCAP documents and researches these reports and advocates for education and further research by the aviation and science community. NARCAP serves four primary missions:
- NARCAP provides a reporting center for US pilots and aviation professionals to report observations and aviation safety related incidents involving unidentified aerial phenomena, UAP,
- NARCAP conducts investigations and research into aviation reports that may involve UAP.
- NARCAP works with the other scientific UAP research organizations in the world to develop better research strategies and normalize data collection across regions.
- NARCAP advocates for education, training and research to inform the aviation community and the flying public about Unidentified Aerial Phenomena and aviation safety.
