According to The New York Times, the government has decided not to use the term UFO anymore. Though various agencies have not yet agreed on calling unidentified flying objects ‘aerial phenomena’ or ‘anomalous phenomena’.

The measure proposed by the Senate establishes a period of 300 days in which government agencies must organize their records related to unidentified aerial phenomena so that they can later be delivered to the review board.
