The Facts

  • 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.
