Documents / FOIA release
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.
Q: Are there any specific countries you can name in terms of who you aim to work with? DR. KOSLOSKI: We are going to be starting with the traditional allies of the DOD and the IC. And I'll leave it at that for now until we have those partnerships well established and then we'll probably come out with more information. Yes. STAFF: Yes. Nick? Q: Nick Schifrin, PBS NewsHour. Thanks very much for doing this. This may be basic and silly, but I just want to read you a quotation from the hearing yesterday and have you respond to it. This is Luis Elizondo, former DOD official. "Let me be clear. UAP are real. Advanced technologies not made by our government or any other government are monitoring sensitive military installations around the globe. The U.S. is in possession of UAP technologies as are some of our adversaries." Can you just give us a sense of your perspective on that quotation? DR.

Until we know what they are or who they belong to, we can't attribute intent and understand exactly what the purpose of that phenomenon is. So we're not comfortable -- we at AARO, are not comfortable saying at this time whether or not the UAP are there to collect information or not. In regards to whether or not AARO, U.S. government or any other government has UAP. We have not found any evidence of that at this time. Q: ...but the bottom line conclusion remains what you said at the top -- There is no verifiable evidence of extraterrestrial activity. DR. KOSLOSKI: We have not found any, no. There are definitely anomalies. We have not been able to draw the link to extraterrestrial. STAFF: Phil. Q: Just to follow up on that. DR. KOSLOSKI: Yes. Q: You know, a lot of people read that or saw--just that hearing. You know, when you said there was no breakthrough technologies. I mean the person seems to be suggesting that, you know, at a minimum these are breakthrough technologies. What leads you to assume that the ones
