An official new U.S. government UFO report has confirmed 21 unexplained sightings.
Congress received the annual document from the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), set up to investigate reports of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) – as UFOs are officially known.
The report reveals investigators were tasked with assessing eyewitness accounts of sightings including a green fireball, a flashing, multicolored jellyfish and a 6-foot silver rocket.
Many cases were attributed to known objects including balloons, birds, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), satellites, and aircraft.
AARO also reported that it increasingly receives cases that it is able to resolve due to Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite constellation.
However, AARO states that other cases remain unresolved and they are continuing to collect and analyze that body of cases.
Unresolved sightings include the so-called ‘GOFAST’ video of a U.S. Navy F/A-18 jet crew’s encounter with a UAP and a fast-moving silver ball captured on camera by a U.S. drone in the Middle East.
AARO said: “It is important to underscore that, to date, AARO has discovered no evidence of extraterrestrial beings, activity, or technology.”
They added: “None of these resolved cases substantiated advanced foreign adversarial capabilities or breakthrough aerospace technologies.”
Regarding the unresolved cases, they added: “AARO is working closely with its IC (Intelligence Community) and S&T (Science and Technology) partners to understand and attribute the 21 cases received this reporting period that merit further analysis based on reported anomalous characteristics and/or behaviors.
“AARO will provide immediate notification to Congress should AARO identify that any cases indicate or involve a breakthrough foreign adversarial aerospace capability.”
Covering the period from May 1, 2023, to June 1, 2024, the AARO said they received 757 UAP reports during this period; 485 of these reports featured UAP incidents that occurred during the reporting period.
This brought the total cases that AARO has been reviewing to over 1,600 as of June 1, 2024.
The U.S. Department of Defense said Thursday (14 Nov):”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. We take reports of incursions into our designated space, land, sea, or airspaces seriously and examine each one.”
