After understanding The Physics of Anomalies, we arrive at the final and most urgent question: what does this mean for global security? If these objects operate with impunity, we are facing an Intelligence Gap unprecedented since the beginning of the Atomic Age.
Sovereignty Under Threat
The mission of NORAD and NORTHCOM is to ensure air sovereignty. However, recent reports indicate frequent incursions over sensitive weapon test sites and nuclear missile silos. The problem is not just “who” they are, but the fact that they can enter and exit without being stopped.
- Strategic Surprise: Military history shows that the greatest threat is what you cannot detect or understand.
- AARO’s Mandate: The office’s role is now to integrate data from space and defense agencies to close this information gap.
The 2026 Perspective: Accountability
With the NDAA 2026, the focus has shifted from scientific curiosity to institutional accountability. Congress demands to know why billions of dollars in defense are not sufficient to identify intruders in restricted airspace.
The end of secrecy will not come from a government “choice”, but from the technical impossibility of hiding objects that are now detected by high-fidelity civilian and military sensors.

Final Verdict
We are living through the greatest paradigm shift in modern history. Transparency is now a matter of national security.
STATUS: MONITORING.
If UAPs can operate above nuclear silos with impunity, our defense infrastructure is obsolete. We are currently facing a critical Intelligence Gap regarding unidentified incursions into sovereign airspace.
National Security in 2026
The focus has shifted from scientific curiosity to Aerial Sovereignty. The AARO must now answer to Congress regarding NORAD’s failure to identify these targets. For more on this legislative pressure, see our analysis on the NORAD Ultimatum.
