ReportUnclassified

The unclassified portion of the joint ODNI and DoD report details the number and characteristics of UAP reports received, primarily from military and civil aviation sources. It discusses ongoing efforts to standardize reporting, improve sensor data collection, and resolve cases through scientific and technical analysis. Most cases continue to be attributed to mundane objects such as balloons, drones, birds, or aircraft once sufficient data is available, though a subset remains unresolved due to limited information. The report does not discuss or affirm claims of non-human intelligence, extraterrestrial technology, crash retrieval programs, or biological remains; it frames UAP as a potential safety-of-flight and national security concern requiring better data and interagency coordination.
