This is an unclassified briefing deck from the Department of Defense's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, presented by Director Seán Kirkpatrick for an open congressional hearing and cleared for publication on April 17, 2023. It covers UAP reporting trends from 1996 to 2023, including altitude distribution, reporting hotspots and typical characteristics such as round shapes, 1 to 4 meter size and no detected thermal exhaust. It presents two MQ-9 cases: an unresolved 2022 Middle East metallic orb and a 2023 South Asia object likely resolved as a commercial airliner with a video-compression artifact.
