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.

AARO says besides balloons and birds, "Starlink and other
mega-constellations in low earth orbit" have led to confused
reporting.
But the report comes just one day after a House Committee on
Oversight and Accountability subcommittee heard from
witnesses that alleged the U.S. government is hiding evidence
of extraterrestrial technology.
Luis Elizondo, the former head of the now-defunct Advanced
Aerospace Threat Identification Program that investigated
UAPs, told Congress that the government is seeking to "to hide
the fact that we are not alone in the cosmos."
"Advanced technologies not made by our government — or
any other government — are monitoring sensitive military
installations around the globe," he said. "Furthermore, the
U.S. is in possession of UAP technologies, as are some of our
adversaries."
And journalist Michael Shellenberger told lawmakers that
Pentagon sources have told him about a secret program
known as Immaculate Constellation that has gathered high-
quality images of UAPs.
The testimony adds to sweeping claims made last year by
retired Maj. David Grusch, who was formerly part of the
Pentagon's UAP task force and a former intelligence officer in
the Air Force and National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.
