National Transportation Safety Board

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an independent U.S. government agency established to investigate civil aviation accidents and incidents. While primarily focused on aviation safety investigations, the NTSB maintains databases that can be searched for reports related to unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). According to available records, the NTSB database has been referenced in UAP research contexts, though the agency does not maintain a formalized database or definitions specifically for UAP incidents. The NTSB works alongside the FAA and NASA in aviation safety matters, though coordination on UAP reporting between these agencies remains limited as of 2024.
