Background

In January 2015, in off Florida’s east coast, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) recorded the unidentified-phenomenon case described below. The case is preserved in AARO’s 2024-2025 publications and consolidated annual reports to Congress, declassified or released in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and Department of Defense reporting cycles.

A post-cold-war case predating the formation of the modern uap task forces.

The case appears in materials produced or curated by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office.

What the document records

In January 2015, Navy aircraft recorded an object traveling at high speeds near the ocean surface. Subsequent analysis determined the object did not exhibit anomalous speed or flight characteristics. The object maintained a straight, slightly rising trajectory with a slow, curving descent.

Type of case

The case is a visual sighting reported by ground or air observers.

Status

AARO designates unresolved cases as those for which the agency has not concluded the events were anomalous, has not concluded that they were conventional, and has not ruled out either possibility. Conventional candidates for sightings of recent periods include commercial drones, classified test platforms, satellite re-entry, balloon traffic, atmospheric optical phenomena, and astronomical objects.
