Pentagon has received 'several hundred' new UFO sighting reports

📍 Location

📝 Description

Since the Pentagon established the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in 2022 to track unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), officials have said the office has received hundreds of new reports. The latest publicly released UAP annual report covers May 1, 2023 to June 1, 2024 and shows 757 UAP reports in that period, with 485 incidents inside the reporting window and 272 backdated from 2021–2022; total UAPs reviewed by AARO exceed 1,600 as of June 1, 2024. Most cases were resolved as balloons, birds, drones, satellites, or conventional aircraft; 21 cases merit further analysis; 444 lack sufficient data and are archived; and about 243 have been closed or slated for closure. There is no verifiable evidence of extraterrestrial life or technology in these findings.

🔍 Circumstances

Reports originate from military and civilian pilots, with a geographic bias toward U.S. military assets; AARO collects data across air, sea, and space domains and coordinates with interagency partners; the office is expanding reporting channels and sensor capabilities and seeks to publish more unclassified information.

👤 Physical Description

Not publicly disclosed; no single physical signature; cases vary; many were later identified as balloons, drones, birds, or satellites.

ℹ️ Additional Details
