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 5 UNCLASSIFIED (USSPACECOM) astrographic area of responsibility. Of the 757 reports 392 were from the FAA, which consisted of all of the FAA’s UAP reports since 2021. Figure 1: AARO Report Totals and Analytic Adjudications from May 1, 2023 – June 1, 2024 AARO resolved 49 cases during the reporting period, all of which resolved to prosaic objects such as various types of balloons, birds, and UAS (see Figure 2). An additional 243 cases were recommended for closure as of June 1, 2024, pending peer review. These cases also resolved to prosaic objects including balloons, birds, UAS, satellites, and aircraft. AARO determined 21 cases merit further analysis by its IC and science and technology (S&T) partners. Subsequent sections of this report include discussions of notable cases. The remaining 444 cases lacked sufficient data to facilitate analysis and were placed in the Active Archive where they will be held for pattern of life and trend analysis or reexamined if additional data becomes available. Archived cases may be reopened and resolved should additional information emerge to support analysis. None of these resolved cases substantiated advanced foreign adversarial capabilities or breakthrough aerospace technologies. AARO is working closely with its IC and S&T partners to understand and attribute the 21 cases received this reporting period that merit further analysis based on reported anomalous characteristics and/or behaviors. AARO will provide immediate notification to Congress should AARO identify that any cases indicate or involve a breakthrough foreign adversarial aerospace capability. UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED
