Monitoring of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena by the European Commission

August 17, 2026

The European Commission has been monitoring unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) since 2023, as reported by Euronews. Two amateur astronomers from Malaysia contacted the Commission, sending images of 37 UAP they observed. The Commission's response stated that their technological capabilities for recognizing such phenomena are continuously improving. While not responsible for incidents related to Malaysia, they actively monitor UAPs. International cooperation continues, with countries like France developing specialized centers for their study.
