“To date, AARO has over 1,600 UAP reports in its holdings from across the U.S. government.”

“It is important to underscore that, to date, AARO has discovered no verifiable evidence of extraterrestrial beings, activity, or technology.”

“In some cases, it may be unclear to the public why DoD classified a piece of information in the first place. Why are photos of seemingly benign objects, such as balloons, classified? It is often the case that an object or phenomenon itself is not a security concern, but the location, source, or method used to capture it is still sensitive.”

“I am Jon Kosloski. I'm a researcher at my core, with an academic background in mathematics, physics, and engineering. I have spent most of my career at the National Security Agency leading advanced research in the areas of optics, computing, and crypto mathematics.”

“AARO continues to review the U.S. historical record relating to UAP. We welcome any former or current government civilian, contractor, or military service member with relevant information to reach out to us at www.aaro.mil.”

“It is important to note that AARO does not unilaterally declassify information. Instead, we work with the originator of a classified record to ensure that declassifying that record does not inadvertently harm national security.”

“Additionally, AARO launched a public website that features UAP imagery, case resolutions, material analysis, archival records, and more.”

“We rely on partnerships with the National Labs, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, FBI, DHS, and NASA, all of which play a role in the whole-of-government effort to address UAP.”

“AARO is also working closely with the National Archives and Records Administration to make UAP-related documents publicly available in a digitized collection.”

“Last year, AARO worked with DoD's Joint Staff to issue guidance to defense personnel worldwide on how to report UAP observations and is working with the Military Services to ensure the implementation of this guidance.”
