This is the Department of Defense All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office's Fiscal Year 2024 Consolidated Annual Report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, covering reports from May 1, 2023 to June 1, 2024 and released in full in February 2025. AARO received 757 reports, and every case it resolved turned out to be a prosaic object such as a balloon, bird, drone or satellite. It found no evidence of extraterrestrial activity and no reported health effects. The report also covers drone flights near nuclear facilities and the release of its Historical Record Report.

UNCLASSIFIED 12 UNCLASSIFIED V. ENGAGEMENT, ROLES, RESPONSIBILITIES, AND REPORTING A. Roles and Responsibilities of Assigned Line Organizations Field Investigations and Ability to Respond In accordance with 50 U.S.C. § 3733(d), AARO executes a strategic partner engagement program conducting outreach and liaison activities. Components include the DoD, federal, tribal, state, and local law enforcement, counterintelligence (CI), and security agencies, as well as other Executive Branch entities and foreign partners in support of AARO’s UAP mission. AARO continues to work with the military Services, Combatant Commands, and others to support and refine their development of mitigation and response plans to include robust reporting processes. In May 2023, the Joint Staff (JS) issued a UAP GENADMIN message directing Combatant Commands and Services to report all UAP incidents, incursions, and engagements to Combatant Command Joint Operations Centers, Service Watch Centers, and respective CI elements, no later than 96 hours after the event. Scientific, Technological, and Operational Analyses of Data As designated by the SecDef and the DNI, AARO has partnered with the following organizations to leverage available resources and expertise and establish the scientific and technical foundation necessary to execute the AARO mission. • Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) provided analysis for a material claimed to be from a UAP. ORNL will continue to assist with any future physics-relevant case analysis. • The Air Force Research Laboratory provides research on air- and space-borne sensing technology and more general assessments of propulsion, stealth, and other emerging capabilities which may be operational in the next few years. • Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) developed the GREMLIN sensor architecture (described in additional detail on page 13) which will be deployed in 1Q FY 2025 to support pattern-of-life analysis. GTRI will continue to support sensor architecture analysis, development, and operations. • The Massachusetts Institute of Technology – Lincoln Laboratory is building prototype data processing systems that can operate on FAA and National Weather Service radar systems to determine the viability in detecting and tracking objects that are currently filtered out of the data. • NASA is the focal point for academic research and open source data analysis on UAP topics. B. Mechanism for Authorized Reporting On October 31, 2023, AARO launched the www.aaro.mil website, featuring a secure reporting mechanism for current or former U.S. Government (USG) employees, Service07Page determined to be Unclassified Reviewed by Chief of Staff, AARO IAW FY24 NDAA, Section 1841 (a)(1)(C) Date: 02/05/2025
