technology as "beyond state of the art today and beyond
where we think that we could get in the next couple of years."
"We don't fully understand the phenomenon enough to say
whether or not it's breakthrough technology," added Kosloski.
"So it's a very small percentage of our overall cases that, after
the initial analysis, still have the anomalous characteristics
that one could attribute breakthrough technologies to. It's less
than two-and-a-half percent of our cases, and we're still
studying those."
Kosloski also addressed criticism from lawmakers that his
office has not been transparent enough about UAPs or is
classifying too much information.
He said officials are working "to downgrade that material as
much as we can," and are implementing efforts to increase
declassification, but still have their hands tied because they
must work with partners on the cases.
"We need to make sure that we're protecting sensitive
sources, methods, vulnerabilities," he said. "So even though
that there's nothing inherently classified about the existence
of a UAP, we have to protect that information when AARO
receives those interesting cases."
