Most reported sightings are explained as satellites, drones, or space debris.
The number of reports has increased significantly since the Pentagon's release of UFO-related documents.
CENAP has analyzed over 14,000 cases by August.
The increase in reports is linked to the Pentagon's publication of materials on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).
