The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, under the Department of War, issued this Fiscal Year 2025 annual report to Congress on unidentified anomalous phenomena. It covers June 2, 2024, to May 30, 2025. In that period AARO received 319 reports and resolved 370 cases in total, all of them attributed to prosaic objects such as balloons, satellites, birds, aircraft and drones. The report also describes a new modeling capability that resolved 238 reports as satellite flaring and 50 drone incidents near nuclear sites, and it states that no evidence of captured UAP materials exists.
7 Of the reports AARO analyzed, 77 of the 319 UAP reports (24.13 percent) contained insufficient information to render an analytic conclusion on the phenomenon’s morphological characteristics. Figure 2: UAP Characterization by Morphology* from June 2, 2024 – May 30, 2025 *Cases lacking a resolved morphology do not appear in this chart. B. Reported Altitudes for Airborne UAP Airborne UAP-related events were predominately reported between 10,000 and 35,000 feet. UAP-related events reported above 45,000 feet fell from 27 percent of reports to 4 percent since AARO’s FY 2024 annual report. AARO assesses that this notable difference in reported altitudes stems from a collection bias in the previous reporting period having favored a batch of FAA-derived reports of higher-altitude phenomena. Civilian pilot estimates of phenomenon altitudes tended to range from 45,000 to 60,000 feet. However, AARO resolved many of these reports as satellite flaring based on their reported characteristics.
