Fiscal Year 2023 Consolidated Annual Report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena

The report documents 291 new UAP reports received by AARO, most of which were resolved as balloons, unmanned aerial systems, birds, or other ordinary objects through improved data collection and analysis. It notes ongoing challenges with limited data in some cases but highlights advancements in sensor calibration, standardized reporting, declassification processes for videos shown in congressional hearings, and the launch of a public AARO website. No evidence of extraterrestrial technology or national security threats from foreign adversaries was identified in the resolved cases. The document emphasizes AARO's mission to reduce stigma around reporting, integrate multi-domain data, and apply scientific methods to resolve anomalies, with plans for expanded collection from additional agencies like the FAA.
