• Continued reports over the past decades of unknown aerial phenomena (short UAP) have given high relevance to the investigation and research of these. Especially reports by US Navy pilots and official investigations by the US Office of the director of national intelligence have emphasized the value of such efforts. Due to the inherently limited scope of earth based observations, a satellite based instrument for detection of such phenomena may prove especially useful. This paper as such investigates the possible viability of such an instrument onContinued reports over the past decades of unknown aerial phenomena (short UAP) have given high relevance to the investigation and research of these.
