In what way are they "national"? They have no clear association with national authorities for any nation. Their contact info is a personal phone number, and (the same) personal e-mail address for all roles; combined with a squarespace page, it seems unlikely they have national presence. Is it just that if they get reports from Canada they'll ignore them?

Ergo the use of the term 'national' does not automatically indicate intent by the organization to influence the presumption of association with national (regulatory) bodies.

No, but it conventionally indicates either that, or (a goal of) national presence; for example the National Association of Realtors has members in all fifty states of the (US) nation, not just in one dude's apartment.

NAR also had 117 years to mature.

And had 120 members across ~15 states on day one, yes.

In a totally non-fringe, non-dismissed, socially accepted, even legally defined profession.

We don't even today have standardizations to understand what equipment should be used to even record the data that this phenomena generates.

		Peculiar right? A well funded agency would likely be able to develop a sensor package which tracks objects with multiple cameras with various zoom lenses and spectrums (IR/UV/etc.) and also radio. I think tech is becoming so good eventually some enterprising UAP engineer is going to be able to cobble something together with off the shelf components and start selling kits. Probably nothing will come of it still, I think, but who knows?

Similar to how National Public Radio has no affiliation with national authorities.

		But they are funded in part by the national (federal) government, and are available nationally (across the nation); contrast with for example New York Public Radio which does not have national aspirations, being focused instead on... New York.
