Pentagon and the Director of National Intelligence have released their annual report on UFO sightings, and while they still haven’t found the extraterrestrial origin of the more than 700 new reports that came in last year, there are about two dozen that really intrigue them.

UAP is the term that stands for Unidentified Anomalous Events that the Pentagon and intelligence community use to describe UFOs. The agency that reviews all new incidents reported by military personnel and now additional federal agencies is the All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).

AARO received 757 new incident reports from May 2023 to June 2024; 485 of these occurred in that period and received another 272 reports from 2021 and 2022 that had not been sent to the institution before. This is a sizeable increase from previous reports; last year’s report, for example, cited 281 new reports during the review period; Pentagon officials said Thursday that this was due not to an increased frequency of UAP incidents but to greater awareness of reporting them.

The total number of cases AARO has investigated since its founding is now 1,652.

According to this year’s report, AARO “discovered no evidence of extraterrestrial entities, activity or technology.” A small number of this year’s reports had terrestrial explanations, and a significant number will be left to further examination, but what they did not find was that some of the reports could be attributed to “groundbreaking” technology.

But at a press conference Thursday, AARO’s president acknowledged that there were 21 reports over the last year and a half that he really couldn’t explain.

AARO’s new director, Dr. “With my background in physics and engineering and my time at IC, there are interesting situations that I don’t understand, and I don’t know that anyone else understands them,” said Jon Kosloski. Kosloski said 21 incidents occurred near national security sites, were recorded on video, had multiple eyewitnesses or were captured by other sensors.

So what do these unexplained UAPs look like? “Spheres, cylinders, triangles, in one of the cases, it’s been happening for a long time and it’s possible for more than one thing to happen,” Kosloski said, adding that the events could include drone activity combined with a drone activity. UAP.
