This is a slide presentation from the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, given by Director Dr. Jon Kosloski at an open hearing of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities on November 19, 2024. It charts UAP reporting trends from 1996 to October 2024, showing that 75 percent of closed cases were resolved as balloons. It also gives AARO's case resolutions for the 2013 Puerto Rico object, the 2015 GO FAST video and the 2018 Mt. Etna object, finding nothing anomalous in any of them.

THE PUERTO RICO OBJECT
▪ Analytic Factors: Perception of objects’
fading in and out due to Thermal
Crossover.
▪ Trajectory reconstruction shows the
objects traveled southwest in a straight
line at a consistent speed of ≈3.6
meters per second while slowly
descending to ≈200 meters.
▪ Winds were 7 knots (3.6 m/s) out of the
east-northeast. Cloud cover was
approximately 50 percent, with scattered
clouds at 914 meters (3000 feet).
Vector analysis is used to plot the line of sight of the sensor as a function of time. Using a closest-approach
method, a track of the object can be estimated
