Final answer:

The question is about the issuance of Special Use Airspace (SUA) authorizations by the FAA for certain aeronautical activities. FAA Order JO 7930.2 outlines the procedures for issuing these authorizations for safe and regulated operations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject in question pertains to the issuance of Special Use Airspace (SUA) authorizations for activities like Aerial Refueling, Parachute Jumping/Sky Diving (PJE), Lights Out/Night Vision Device (NVD) Operations in a Military Operations Area (MOA), Unmanned Aircraft Operations, and flight demonstrations. These authorizations are issued following the procedures outlined by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in FAA Order JO 7930.2. This regulation ensures that such operations are conducted safely and with minimal impact on civilian air traffic.

These activities are strictly regulated because of their potential to affect other airspace users and the need for controlling visibility, especially during nighttime operations involving NVG (Night Vision Goggles) as illustrated in Figure 6.14.4. Additionally, when discussing unidentified flying objects (UFOs), it's important to note that most reports are resolved to be known objects or natural phenomena. Careful investigation usually leads to these being reclassified as Identified Flying Objects (IFOs) or Not-at-all Flying Objects (NFOs).
