ReportUnclassified

AARO received 757 UAP reports in the covered timeframe, with 485 occurring during the reporting period. Most resolved cases were attributed to balloons, drones, birds, aircraft, satellites, or other prosaic objects. The report notes ongoing efforts to resolve remaining cases and highlights AARO's public website updates, declassification activities, and mechanisms for government personnel to report UAP-related programs. It references the March 2024 release of the Historical Record Report Volume I, which found no evidence of extraterrestrial technology or recovered alien craft, and mentions the posting of KONA BLUE-related documents as part of transparency efforts on claims of "non-human biologics." No new evidence of NHI or crash retrieval is presented; emphasis is on standardized reporting, analysis, and mitigation of flight safety or national security concerns.
