This 2022 release from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, under FOIA case 22-F-1364, is a briefing deck from the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) presented by its director, Sean Kirkpatrick. It sets out AARO's mission and vision and describes UAP concerns in US territory, near strategic capabilities and in foreign areas. It also covers integrated operations, research, analysis and strategic communications, and efforts to destigmatize reporting. The deck closes by listing the observer and phenomenon details needed for UAP analysis.
