Office of the Secretary of Defense · 2022 · 6 pages · text from the file's own layer

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.

Our mission success and our ability to contribute to
domain safety and national security depends on
observations and insights from across sectors
Educate
The subject of UAP is laden with decades
of imprecise—and often sensational—
information
Promulgating accurate information about
UAP, their implications to domain safety
and national security, and our
commitment to resolving them is
foundational to our partnership with
communities.
Sharing what UAP data is critically-
important for scientific and intelligence
analyses allows aviators and crews to
optimize the value of their observations
and reporting of phenomena
Encourage Reporting
Historically, reticence to UAP reporting
has limited the Government's ability to
guard against safety and security threats
Destigmatizing discussion about and
reporting of UAP is essential for tracking,
resolving, and defending against such
phenomena
Government efforts to encourage military
aviators and crews to report phenomena
have substantially increased the quantity
and quality of UAP data
Leverage Ow Expertise & Systems
Persons informed about DAP and willing
to report have historically had few official
channels to submit observational data
We are working with military, civil, and
industry partners to develop and field
reporting mechanisms available across
sectors
By leveraging our systems, we will be able
to quickly incorporate reporting into the
corpus of data, to optimize scientific and
intelligence analyses, and to provide
feedback to the reporting individual
and/or organization
