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 7 UNCLASSIFIED • DoD and FAA reports are used to establish the baseline data for many case files. For instance, AARO relies on its IC partners to apply GEOINT tradecraft and analytic methodologies to full-motion video collected by U.S. military aircrews to identify UAP reported through operational channels. Additionally, as individual cases require, AARO searches IC databases for GEOINT, SIGINT, HUMINT, and MASINT reports to facilitate its analysis and resolution of cases reported through the sources identified above. IV. OVERVIEW OF ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS A. Reported Morphologies Reporting trends of UAP morphologies remain consistent with historical patterns. Unidentified lights and round/spherical/orb-shaped objects made up the bulk of cases in which reports provided distinct visual characteristics (see Figure 3). Objects within the “other” category include unique descriptions such as “green fire ball,” “a jelly fish with [multicolored] flashing lights,” and a “silver rocket approximately six feet long.” • Of the reports AARO received during the reporting period, 170 reports during the reporting period (22.4% of total) which contained insufficient or no information to enable a morphological characterization.07Page determined to be Unclassified Reviewed by Chief of Staff, AARO IAW FY24 NDAA, Section 1841 (a)(1)(C) Date: 02/05/2025
