Yes, we do. So it actually was the instance that I'm most familiar with was a Starlink instance. So
we had several folks over the period, I think, it was multiple months, where we're seeing
interesting activity in the sky. And we found that when we -- because we're continuously looking
back at that active archive and looking for correlations across those incidents, but also new
incidents coming in.
We found some of those correlations in time, the direction that they were looking, and the
location. And we were able to assess that they were all in those cases looking at Starlink flares.
Yes.
STAFF: (inaudible)
Q: How many people work in your office?
DR. KOSLOSKI: We have several dozen folks working in the office, but the power of the office
isn't the number of people who work in it, it's our partnerships across the IC and the DOD. And
hopefully, in the near future academia as well.
STAFF: Luis.
Q: In the historical report from earlier this year, there was mentioned that in the 1950s and 60s
as pilots started, commercial pilots started flying, they saw reflections as well off of what were
like U-2 aircraft at that time. So this new Starlink seems to be very reminiscent of that. That's—
DR. KOSLOSKI: Yes, very reminiscent. Yes.
Q: So you're seeing an uptick in that, that might be again, a historical parallel, right?
DR. KOSLOSKI: Yes. And we do see some trends in the morphologies that are reported. So for a
while, we were seeing a lot more balloons. And then pilots started understanding what some of
the space trash looked like. And now we're seeing as the mega satellite constellations are
increasing, Starlink and there's others that are going up, we're seeing an increase in those lights
in the sky that look very unusual as those satellites are deploying. And we expect that that trend
will also go down eventually. Yes.
STAFF: Ellie?
Q: I have to ask a broadcast specific question, but do you anticipate releasing any video related
to any of the cases that were ruled out or that are still unexplained?
DR. KOSLOSKI: So we're going to be -- we have some resolved cases that are of public interest
that have been talked about publicly that will be releasing on the 19th. I think those are going to
come with videos? Yes. And then, as we downgrade information, the hope is that we will be
