This is a stenographic transcript of an April 19, 2023 hearing of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities, chaired by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, on the mission and budget of the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office. AARO released it in full in 2025. Director Sean Kirkpatrick testified that AARO has found no credible evidence of extraterrestrial activity and that most reports resolve into mundane objects. He also presented trend data and two declassified MQ-9 videos, one of which was resolved as a commuter aircraft.

15 everybody I can.
16 He told me to literally take them to the proper
17 authorities and that I could get my evidence looked at and
18 that is what I am doing today. I drove all the way from
19 Ohio, Mr. Kirkpatrick.
20 Senator Gillibrand: Dr. Kirkpatrick is the person --
21 the perfect person to give your evidence to --
22 Audience Member: Yeah, I appreciate it.
23 Senator Gillibrand: -- and eventually we will have a
24 website where you could just submit it and not have to go
25 600 miles. Today, since you are here, please submit your
