To submit a request for UAP investigation, the following criteria must be met:

​

• Report includes the date, time, location, and description of the encounter

• Report includes descriptions that are anomalous relating to structure, flight characteristics, and/or occupants associated with a UAP

• Requester is a direct witness

• Photo/Video evidence includes the submission of the original data file containing the meta data.

• Physical evidence was appropriately handled. SCU advises against any physical contact 
  or proximity of unknown potentially hazardous material. If physical evidence was
  recovered, documentation is included for the original location of the recovery, location of storage, and a chain of custody.

• SCU encourages observers to formally report UAP to a law enforcement or other
  appropriate government agency. This initiates official government documentation for
  potential violations of flight safety, unlawful surveillance, and other offenses that pose a risk to public safety.​
