III. OVERVIEW OF REPORTS
A. Overall Trend Analysis
As of October 24, 2024, there are 1652 reports in total. This report covers UAP reports
from May 1, 2023 to June 1, 2024, and all UAP reports from any previous time periods that were
not included in an earlier report. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution (AARO) received 757
UAP reports during this period; 485 of these reports featured UAP incidents that occurred during
the reporting period. The remaining 272 reports occurred outside of the reporting period
between 2021 and 2022 and consequently were not included in previous annual UAP reports.
Of these reports, 708 occurred in the air domain, 49 occurred in the space domain, and
none occurred in the maritime or transmedium domains (see Figure 1). AARO notes that none
of the space domain reports originated from space-based sensors or assets; rather, all of these
reports originated from military or commercial pilots or ground observers who reported UAP
located at altitudes estimated at 100 kilometers or higher, consistent with U.S. Space Command’s
