Background

On May 1, 2023 – June 1, 2024, in Cape Canaveral, Florida, 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 case from the all-domain anomaly resolution office disclosure era following the 2022 establishment of the modern uap investigative apparatus.

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

What the document records

AARO received 57 UAP reports from U.S. military assets in the Middle East. Of these, 13 were resolved as balloons, UAS, or satellites, and two were preliminarily assessed as possible satellite flares. The remaining 42 cases were placed in Active Archive due to insufficient information.

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.
