“Since I arrived in August 2024, I have been impressed by the breadth and depth of my team's experience and the framework it has established to rigorously analyze UAP reports.”
- 03
“AARO has taken meaningful steps to improve data collection and retention, bolster sensor development, effectively triage UAP reports, and remove the stigma of reporting a UAP event.”
- 04
“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.”
- 05
“Additionally, AARO launched a public website that features UAP imagery, case resolutions, material analysis, archival records, and more.”
- 06
“To date, AARO has over 1,600 UAP reports in its holdings from across the U.S. government.”
- 07
“You'll see that many reports resolve to commonplace objects like birds, balloons, and unmanned systems, while others lack sufficient data for comprehensive analysis.”
- 08
“Only a very small percentage of reports AARO receives are potentially anomalous; these are the cases that require significant time, resources, and a focused scientific inquiry by AARO and its wide network of partners.”

“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.”
- 11
“AARO will continue to explore new ways to partner with the academic and scientific communities to investigate its most complex UAP cases.”
- 12
“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.”
- 13
“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.”
- 14
“AARO is also working closely with the National Archives and Records Administration to make UAP-related documents publicly available in a digitized collection.”
- 15
“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.”
- 16
“AARO needs to bolster the quantity, quality, and diversity of data that it acquires and examines. This means tapping into existing data sources within the interagency while deploying AARO's own organic sensor capabilities.”
- 17
“We will not foreclose on any explanation for UAP prematurely. We will continue to follow the science and data wherever they lead.”
