Documents / Official release
The Department of Defense's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office issued this Fiscal Year 2024 consolidated annual report to Congress under 50 U.S.C. 3373(k). It covers 757 UAP reports received from May 1, 2023 to June 1, 2024. Every resolved case turned out to be a prosaic object such as a balloon, bird, drone, satellite or aircraft. The report says AARO has found no evidence of extraterrestrial beings, activity or technology, no health effects on observers, and no data showing any UAP was captured.
UNCLASSIFIED 15 UNCLASSIFIED In March 2024, AARO released its unclassified Historical Record Report Volume I to the public via its website, and AARO’s Director briefed congressional oversight committees and the media to explain the report’s findings at the appropriate levels of classification. In accordance with the Department’s commitment to transparency on UAP matters, AARO also posted historical documents relating to KONA BLUE, a Prospective and not approved Special Access Program that was brought to AARO’s attention by interviewees who claimed that it was a sensitive Department of Homeland Security compartment to cover up the retrieval and exploitation of “non-human biologics.” In March 2024, AARO launched an “R-space” page for the cleared community and provides monthly updates on its work and findings up to the TS/SCI level to promote increased collaboration and information sharing related to UAP. In spring of 2024, the Department reviewed and approved its GENADMIN guidance on UAP reporting and materiel disposition for public release, which AARO has amplified on its website to promote increased awareness of how service members should report UAP sightings and also how best to handle and transfer all data or recovered material to AARO for analysis. VII. WAY FORWARD Airborne UAP continue to dominate UAP reporting with 708 of the 757 reports from this reporting period occurring in the air domain. The relationship between AARO and USAF, including the National Air and Space Intelligence Center and the Air Force Research Laboratory, continues to deepen and expand in terms of collection, analysis, exploitation, and resolution. AARO will continue to develop partnerships across the USG, academia, and commercial communities. Through these partnerships, AARO will expand its sensor technology capabilities, analytic tool suites, and the UAP-related sciences spanning the space, air, and maritime domains. AARO and NIM-MIL are strengthening targeted IC collection to mitigate reporting bias, increase reporting quality, and develop more comprehensive domain awareness. This partnership will help organizations focus on the information they should be seeking from UAP observers to provide valuable, complete reporting for subsequent analysis by AARO and its partners.
