Fiscal Year 2024 Consolidated Annual Report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena

The report states that the majority of new UAP cases were resolved as ordinary objects such as balloons, unmanned aerial systems, birds, or commercial aircraft. It notes increasing reporting due to reduced stigma and improved sensor capabilities. AARO continues to investigate a small number of cases with anomalous characteristics but has found no evidence linking any UAP to extraterrestrial technology, non-human intelligence, or reverse-engineered alien craft. The document references the March 2024 release of the Historical Record Report Volume I, which reviewed U.S. government UAP programs since 1945 and concluded there is no empirical evidence of extraterrestrial visitation or hidden crash-retrieval programs. It also mentions posting historical documents on the unapproved KONA BLUE proposal, which interviewees had alleged was created to cover up non-human biologics recovery.
