The Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued this preliminary assessment on 25 June 2021, as Senate Report 116-233 required. It reviews 144 U.S. Government reports of unidentified aerial phenomena from 2004 to 2021, compiled with the UAP Task Force. Only one case was identified with high confidence, as a deflating balloon. The report concludes that UAP pose a flight safety issue and possibly a national security challenge, and it calls for standardized reporting, more collection and more investment.
This preliminary assessment was issued by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence on 25 June 2021 and prepared for the congressional intelligence and armed services committees. It reviews 144 US government reports of unidentified aerial phenomena from 2004 to 2021. Only one of them, a deflating balloon, was identified with high confidence. The report proposes five explanatory categories, says UAP pose a flight safety issue and possibly a national security challenge, and recommends standardized reporting, expanded collection and more investment.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued this unclassified annual report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena on 12 January 2023, as required by the FY 2022 National Defense Authorization Act. It counts 510 UAP reports as of 30 August 2022. Of the 366 reports added since the 2021 preliminary assessment, 163 were initially characterized as balloons, 26 as drones and 6 as clutter. The other 171 remain unexplained. The report also describes the creation of the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office and finds no reported collisions or confirmed health effects.
This firsthand account from a senior U.S. intelligence officer was published by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in its PURSUE collection of UAP-related records. It was posted on May 22, 2026 and corrected on May 26, 2026. The officer says that in late 2025 they flew a helicopter over a mountain test range to investigate loud thuds and orb sightings. Over more than an hour they saw objects split in two, swarms of orange orbs, and orbs flaring near the helicopter and above fighter jets.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued this preliminary assessment on unidentified aerial phenomena, dated 25 June 2021 and released on 24 March 2022 under FOIA case DF-2021-00275. Prepared for congressional committees with the UAP Task Force, it reviews mostly US government reports from November 2004 to March 2021. It finds that limited high-quality data prevents firm conclusions, that UAP clearly pose a flight safety issue, and it proposes five explanatory categories and better standardized reporting.
