Documents / FOIA release
This is a slide deck that the nonprofit UAPx presented to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) on 2 February 2023. The Office of the Secretary of Defense released it in 2024 under FOIA 24-F-0489. The slides introduce the team and its goals and describe a July 2021 field expedition to Catalina Island and Laguna Beach, California. They also cover the sensors used and events the team identified as mundane, such as the ISS. Some events remain unexplained, including a dark area seen on camera on 16 July 2021.

Developed for FLIR, but also vetted for visible light (UFODAP)Example above: likely a distant, high-altitude international flight (not anomalous)Moving away from large, old-style FLIR cameras to smaller units (handheld, for phones) Higher resolution = better and easier identification 14 / 16
