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.

GO FAST
▪ Event: In January 2015, U.S. Navy aircraft recorded an object
appearing to travel at high speeds close to the ocean surface off
Florida’s east coast.
▪ Findings: Following in-depth computational analysis of Navy aircraft’s
flight characteristics and sensor readings, AARO, in coordination with
S&T partners, assesses with high confidence the UAP did not
demonstrate any anomalous speeds or flight characteristics.
▪ Analytic Factors: The UAP’s altitude is assessed with high confidence
as approximately 13,000 feet above sea level at a calculated velocity
of approximately 45 mph / 39 knots.
▪ Analysis of contemporaneous weather patterns in the area at the
time of event indicate winds were approximately 60 knots at
13,000 feet
▪ Analysis of its flight path in relation to the Navy aircraft revealed the
object maintained a relatively straight, slightly rising trajectory with a
slow, curving descent near the end of the analyzed video.
▪ High confidence analysis of the UAP’s exact position was not
possible given a lack of precise positional data from the
observing Navy aircraft.
