The legal definition of 'UAP' expanded during the panel's tenure from 'unidentified aerial phenomena' to 'unidentified anomalous phenomena' following an NDAA provision, formally broadening scope to air, space and undersea domains, though the panel kept its own focus on the aerial domain.
the definition of UAP changed during the seven months of our fact-finding process... a is now defined as anomalous, which includes the space, air and undersea domains

NASA's role in UAP study should be complementary to, not a replication of, the Department of Defense's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, focused on what NASA specifically can contribute (open data, public trust, scientific method) that AARO's classified, national-security-focused work cannot.
it's not NASA's job to replicate the efforts of the Department of Defense but rather to consider approaches that are complementary to what the all domain anomaly resolution office is doing
