The Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office's (AARO) report was released Thursday amid rising public interest that reportedly led the government to disclose the findings.

In the report, the US Dept. of Defense says that, between May 2023 and June 2024, it received 757 new reports of "unidentified anomalous phenomena" (UAP) — a number of them near strategic installations. Of these, 21 remain unexplained.

AARO Director Jon Kosloski said the 21 incidents being probed involved shapes like orbs, triangles, and cylinders. He said that some cases had stumped his "physics and engineering background and time in the IC (Intelligence Community)."

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

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 were underwater. An earlier Pentagon report said that many involved drones or rockets.

On Wednesday, retired Rear Adm. 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.

The government's lack of transparency related to UFOs is symbolic of a wider reluctance to be more open with the public on other matters. When the government keeps documents classified and leaves citizens in the dark, it fuels speculation and mistrust. It's time for the government to come clean on several subjects.

The US government should tell the public what it knows about UFOs | Trevor Timm

There are no Pentagon cover-ups related to UFOs. These are baseless fables spread by conspiracy theorists in and outside of the government. The existence of UFOs has been diligently studied, but no one has found any evidence that they're real. Mostly, sightings are actually misidentified advanced technology, secret military projects, or civilian drones.
