The panel recommends NASA develop or partner on a standardized smartphone app to crowdsource UAP sighting data (imagery plus location/speed/sensor metadata) from the public at scale, leveraging the roughly 3-4 billion smartphones worldwide, with multiple simultaneous camera angles potentially eliminating optical artifacts like sensor ghosting.
NASA I think has the Prestige and visibility to develop an app or work with companies to develop apps that could collect data in a uniform and centralized way

The panel's central conclusion, stated by the chair in closing, is that better, more uniform, well-calibrated data - not new theory - is the single highest-priority need for scientifically understanding UAP.
we need better data would be my takeaway, and we need more uniform data
