The Department of Defense and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued this October 2023 consolidated annual report on unidentified anomalous phenomena, drafted by AARO. It covers 291 UAP reports received from 31 August 2022 to 30 April 2023, which brings the total to 801, and notes more FAA reporting and no confirmed adverse health effects. It concludes that most UAP will likely resolve to ordinary phenomena as data quality improves. An appendix resolves a 2021 Western United States case as commercial aircraft.

# UNCLASSIFIED ## V. WAY FORWARD The space and maritime domains need to be fully integrated into AARO's processes. Airborne UAP continue to dominate UAP reporting with 290 of the 291 reports from this reporting period occurring within this domain and, consequently, the relationship between AARO and air domain elements such as NIM-MIL, the USAF, including NASIC and AFRL, and air command elements remains strong and continues to deepen and expand in terms of collection, analysis, exploitation, and resolution. Collaboration with Space Force, U.S. Space Command, NRO, and NASA is well underway. Integration of the maritime domain is another area where AARO will seek to make significant progress in the coming year. AARO will work with the U.S. Navy and NIM-MIL to ensure timely and quality reporting via existing reporting mechanisms, and begin conducting research on sensor calibration relevant to the maritime domain. Mitigating reporting bias and increasing reporting quality. To further mitigate the inherent collection bias and to develop more comprehensive domain awareness, AARO and NIM-MIL are strengthening targeted collection by the IC. This partnership will help organizations focus on the information they should be seeking from UAP observers to provide valuable, complete reporting for subsequent analysis by AARO and its partners.
