The Department of Defense, in collaboration with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, has delivered its annual report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) to Congress. This submission is part of the requirements set by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 and amended by the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2023.

The analysis and understanding of potential threats posed by UAPs are part of an ongoing effort involving multiple departments and agencies. The department expressed gratitude to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and other contributing entities for their collaborative efforts in producing this report.

"The safety of our service personnel, our bases and installations, and the protection of U.S. operations security on land, in the skies, seas, and space are paramount," stated a representative from the Department. "We take reports of incursions into our designated space, land, sea, or airspaces seriously and examine each one."

The All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) is spearheading these efforts within the Department of Defense. In coordination with ODNI and other government agencies, AARO aims to document, analyze, and resolve UAP reports using a scientific framework backed by data-driven approaches. The latest report covers incidents from May 1, 2023, to June 1, 2024. During this period, AARO received 757 reports; 485 pertained to new incidents within this timeframe while another 272 involved occurrences from between 2021 and 2022 that were not previously reported.

As a result, over 1,600 cases have been under review as of June 1, 2024.
