Between May 2023 and June 2024, the US Defense Department received 757 new reports of "unidentified anomalous phenomena" (UAP) — a number of them near strategic installations. Of these, 21 remain unexplained, the Pentagon's latest annual report has said.

The department is said to be intrigued by the UAPs or UFOs. The Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office's (AARO) report was released Thursday amid rising public interest that has reportedly led the government to clear the air.

The reported incidents include a near-miss between a commercial airliner and a mysterious a "cylindrical object" near New York,  a "jellyfish" UAP with flashing lights, and unidentified aircraft shadowing or following military air crews.

The report emphasized "AARO has discovered no evidence of extraterrestrial beings, activity, or technology.” Most of these incidents took place in the air and none underwater. An earlier Pentagon report had said that many involved drones or rockets.

On Wednesday, Rear Adm. (retired) Tim Gallaudet, who claimed to have watched a UAP video, told a congressional panel “we should not turn a blind eye" to the incidents. AARO has ruled out the role of foreign adversaries or breakthrough technologies in UAPs.
