What a time to be alive, right? There are things in our sky, (and our water), that we can't identify. They seem to break the laws of physics and move unlike any technology we have, and in recent years the government has admitted that they are real.

They once were called UFOs, unidentified flying objects. Now they are called UAPs, which stands for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. Police across the country have been issued a reference guide to make sure our law enforcement is up to speed.

The Major Cities Chiefs Association just came out with a reference guide for the UAPs. In it, they bring police officers up to speed on what's going on with UAPs in the news. The 11-section reference guide talks about government UAP programs, and information on whistleblowers like David Grusch, Ryan Graves, and others.
