Third European UAP Day

3 min read

Summary

EuroUFO’s annual recap by Italian researcher edoardo-russo marks the third anniversary of the March 20 2024 European Parliament meeting on “UAP in European Airspace” and surveys EU-level UAP developments through early 2026. Highlights include: a coordinated 11-language, 14-organization publication of Charles Maxence Layet’s “European Strategic Autonomy and the Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena” essay (March 2025); uap-coalition-netherlands’s sustained pressure on EU institutions, including meetings with MEPs fabio-de-masi (April 2025) and lukas-mandl (September 2025); a 24-scientist (later 36) joint feedback to the European Commission on the European Research Area (ERA) Act framing uap-stigma as a systemic research barrier; a parallel feedback to the EU Space Act; the sol-foundation’s third SOL Symposium in Baveno, Italy (October 2025, 440 guests); a December 2025 DG RTD consultation meeting; the 2025 European UAP Barometer (philippe-ailleris: 33,600 reports across 40 countries, 2019–2024); and the launch of the Euro UFO Index uniting 23 national organizations and 4,000+ indexed 2024 reports. EuroUFO is a niche European-ufology advocacy site; coverage is sympathetic and self-reporting, so claims about MEP meetings and EC engagement should be read as advocacy framing rather than independent reporting.
