The Central Research Network for Extraordinary Celestial Phenomena (CENAP) is a point of contact for people in Germany who are looking for a scientific explanation for what they observe in the sky.
CENAP director Hansjürgen Köhler says they have never received as many reports as they do at the moment: "We receive between three and six report's a day. Without question, we're the busiest reporting centre in the German-speaking world." By August 2026 he and his team had cleared up some 14,000 cases.
