Recently there have been sightings near sensitive U.S. military sites,
including dozens of UAP in December 2023 at Langley Air Force Base. The
Pentagon later said those UAP were unidentified drones.
In the Thursday report, AARO identified 18 reports of UAP 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 adversarial
capabilities or breakthrough aerospace technologies."
"We have not been able to correlate any UAP activity to adversarial
collection activities or advanced technologies," he said, though adding that
AARO would increase global outreach and partnerships in 2025.
But Kosloski said that UAPs harboring breakthrough technologies remain a
mystery, describing a breakthrough 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.
