He Pentagon announced this Thursday that from May 2023 to June 1, 2024, its Anomaly Resolution Office received 757 reports of UFOs or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP, for its acronym in English).
In that period, 485 alerts were specifically given, while the other 272 took place between 2021 and 2022 but had not been documented until then.
His office has already resolved 118 cases and he specified that investigations already closed turned out to be objects such as balloons (70%), drones (16%), satellites (4%) or birds (2%).
Although many others remain unresolved, the report highlighted that to date there are no indications of the presence of extraterrestrial beings, activity or technologyas well as that none of those who saw these phenomena experienced adverse effects on their health.
The All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) added that there is also no indication or confirmation that these activities can be attributed to foreign actors.
In September 2023, NASA had announced the creation of a special department to study UAPs, after having detected that UFOs are not being analyzed properly, and promised transparency in any possible discovery.
The administrator of the space agency, Bill Nelson, stated that it was decided to create this department to find meaning in the “anomalies in the heavens” that are frequently found.
The Pentagon report specified that, of the sightings of which it is aware, 708 occurred in the air, 49 in space and none at sea.
The director of AARO, Jon Kosloski, told the press this Thursday that although “There are definitely anomalies”have not been able to establish a link with the extraterrestrial. The high number of cases, in his opinion, has less to do with an increase in activity, but with better means of detecting it.
His report was released just one day after the House Oversight and Accountability Committee heard from witnesses who claim that the Executive has information about UAP that goes back decades and They criticized excessive secrecy in this regard.
