This Office of the Secretary of Defense FOIA release (25-F-3931) holds Public Affairs emails from November 14 and 15, 2024, plus the transcript of a media roundtable with AARO Director Jon Kosloski on the FY24 Consolidated Annual Report on UAP. Kosloski said AARO had received over 1,600 reports and found no verifiable evidence of extraterrestrial beings, activity or technology. He said the Langley incidents were UAV activity. The release also includes a Hill article covering the report.

That is a high compliment from Phil. Well done, Jon!
Please let me know when the transcript is available. Pete and I are running the congressional murder
board tomorrow, and I think he should read the transcript (recognizing Congress isn't media, but there
will likely be overlap in some of the content).

You're welcome! The tweet is up on X now. We should get a media analysis roll-up later
tonight or sometime tomorrow morning. Also, I see that the overall Senate calendar has
Tuesday's hearing, but the SASC hearing page does not yet.
Also, Phil Stewart, Reuters, complemented Jon this afternoon on how he did, noting how
he came across - sincere, personable, believable. Phil is a long-time, established,
professional journalist, so that's an important `well done'! Phil will likely wait until after
the hearing next week before he publishes a story, to ensure he has enough in the story to
make it sufficiently noticeable/interesting.
