The Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued this preliminary assessment on unidentified aerial phenomena, dated 25 June 2021 and released on 24 March 2022 under FOIA case DF-2021-00275. Prepared for congressional committees with the UAP Task Force, it reviews mostly US government reports from November 2004 to March 2021. It finds that limited high-quality data prevents firm conclusions, that UAP clearly pose a flight safety issue, and it proposes five explanatory categories and better standardized reporting.
