The US House of Representatives wants to set up a central office in the Pentagon where all information about mysterious sightings in the sky will be collected.
The internal reporting system is intended to make it easier for US military personnel, for example, to report such phenomena in the sky - without them risking trouble because of possible disclosure of secrets.
Sightings of inexplicable celestial phenomena - alleged UFOs - have increased significantly in the USA in recent years.
At a parliamentary hearing on the subject in May, several MPs complained that the US military had been withholding a lot of information and statements about inexplicable celestial phenomena.
The background to this is the military's secrecy regulations, which have prevented pilots of fighter jets, for example, from making their observations public.
UFO reporting system should bring overview
Deputy Secretary of Defense Ronald Moultrie, responsible for military intelligence, promised improvement at the hearing in May.
And he pointed out a dilemma: "On the one hand, the US military wants to be transparent to the public, on the other hand, certain military information has to be protected - i.e. kept secret."
Many experts have suspected for decades that behind many of the supposedly inexplicable sky phenomena are new types of test aircraft, missiles or drones of the military.
The internal reporting system now planned is intended to help the US Parliament to get an overview of what are supposedly inexplicable sky phenomena and what are simply tests by the military.
