In August 2024 barely > 1 month ago the first article on actual verifiable UFO sightings was published in an international peer reviewed science journal

the paper titled Eye on the Sky: A UAP Research and Field Study off New York’s Long Island Coast was published in Open Journal of Applied Sciences > Vol.14 No.8, August 2024

Abstract
A ten-month field research study was meticulously conducted at Robert Moses State Park (RMSP) on the south shore of Long Island, NY. The objective was to determine if aerial phenomena of an unknown nature exist over a coastal location and to characterize their properties and behaviors. Primary and secondary field observation methods were utilized in this data-centric study. Forensic engineering principles and methodologies guided the study. The challenges set forward were object detection, observation, and characterization, where multispectral electro-optical devices and radar were employed due to limited visual acuity and intermittent presentation of the phenomena. The primary means of detection utilized a 3 cm X-band radar operating in two scan geometries, the X- and Y-axis. Multispectral electro-optical devices were utilized as a secondary means of detection and identification. Data was emphasized using HF and LF detectors and spectrum analyzers incorporating EM, ultrasonic, magnetic, and RF field transducers to record spectral data in these domains. Data collection concentrated on characterizing VIS, NIR, SWIR, LWIR, UVA, UVB, UVC, and the higher energy spectral range of ionizing radiation (alpha, beta, gamma, and X-ray) recorded by Geiger-Müller counters as well as special purpose semiconductor diode sensors.

That was a fascinating read

Actually that's a really poorly written abstract. If you read the full paper
- they detected objects using sensors in a vehicle decked out like the Ghost busters vehicle
- in addition to digital visuals records (reflective thermal sensors indicating the object is a tetrahedral) they also have UV signals corresponding to the objects emission of UV
- they have receipts for verification
First actual scientifically verifiable evidence of UAPs published in an international, peer reviewed journal.

SCIRP is a known predatory publishing company (i.e. one that publishes predatory journals) and any academic who publishes a paper with them will get their reputation damaged. See here to understand what this means:

Peer-review is in any journal published by them is extremely poor and they'd publish absolutely anything as long as they pay you pay enough money. So, I'm not surprised that they'd publish something related to UFO's but I wouldn't trust anything published by them as good science.

Oh damn! I just gave free publicity to the Owner(s) of SCIRP: Wuhan Erwan Culture Communication Co., Ltd. Wuhan Grand Technology Service Co., Ltd Doh!
