This is a briefing chart from the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) under the Office of the Secretary of Defense. It summarizes UAP reporting trends from 1996 to November 20, 2023. It lists the characteristics UAP reports typically share: round objects 1 to 4 meters across, white, silver or translucent in color, seen at 10,000 to 30,000 feet, stationary up to Mach 2, with no thermal exhaust detected. It also covers intermittent X-band radar returns and radio signals in the 1 to 3 GHz and 8 to 12 GHz bands. AARO released the chart in full on February 6, 2025.
