The Department of Defense's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office issued this Fiscal Year 2024 Consolidated Annual Report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena to Congress, covering May 1, 2023 to June 1, 2024. AARO received 757 reports, and every case it resolved turned out to be a prosaic object such as a balloon, bird, drone, satellite or aircraft. The report says there is no evidence of extraterrestrial technology and no reported health effects. It also covers drone incursions at nuclear sites, the GREMLIN sensor and the KONA BLUE documents.
