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.

sightings near U.S. nuclear weapons sites, with 10 of those
involving flights of five minutes over the sensitive area. Two of
the sightings involved flights of near an hour and near two
hours. All the sightings involved just one or two UAP.
AARO said that so far it is not aware of "advanced foreign

technologies."
"We have not been able to correlate any UAP activity to

and partnerships in 2025.
But Kosloski said that UAPs harboring breakthrough
technologies remain a mystery, describing a breakthrough
