Fiscal Year 2024 Consolidated Annual Report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena

Of the reports analyzed, the majority were resolved as balloons, unmanned aerial systems, birds, or other ordinary objects and events. A small number remain unexplained due to insufficient data. The report states that AARO possesses no data indicating the capture, reverse-engineering, or exploitation of off-world technology. It finds no evidence of health or physiological impacts from UAP encounters and no verifiable information supporting claims of non-human intelligence, crash retrieval programs, or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial craft. Historical claims of such programs were investigated and attributed to misidentification of mundane or sensitive national security programs unrelated to UAP. The document emphasizes a data-driven, scientific approach with no empirical evidence for extraterrestrial origins.[[2]](https://www.dni.gov/index.php/newsroom/reports-publications/reports-publications-2024/4020-uap-2024)
