This FOIA release from the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office contains a Joint Staff J3 GENADMIN message from the J36 Homeland Defense Division, dated 19 May 2023. It tells the combatant commands and the military services to report every UAP incident, incursion and engagement to AARO on standardized templates within set deadlines, and to notify counterintelligence within 24 hours. UAP data and recovered objects or material must be transferred to AARO within 30 days. The message also defines UAP categories and related terms.
