AARO’s FY2024 Consolidated Annual Report (November 14, 2024) — the Pentagon’s own official UAP data — contains intelligence the mainstream coverage routinely buries: (1) NUCLEAR SITES: AARO documented 18 reports of UAP sightings near US nuclear weapons sites. 10 of those cases involved flights of 5 minutes or longer directly over sensitive nuclear areas. AARO’s own data confirms the nuclear-UAP pattern documented from Roswell 1947 through Malmstrom 1967 through Northern Tier 1975. (2) SPACE DOMAIN: Of 757 new reports in the reporting period, 49 occurred in the SPACE DOMAIN — meaning UAP observed in or near orbital altitude. This data point has received almost no coverage. (3) 21 TRUE ANOMALIES: Out of 1,652 total cases examined, 21 were classified as requiring further analysis due to “anomalous characteristics and/or behaviors.” Three cases involved pilots being “trailed or shadowed” by UAP. AARO director Jon Kosloski (former NSA physicist specializing in optics, computing, and crypto-mathematics): “There are interesting cases that I — with my physics and engineering background and time in the IC — I do not understand and I don’t know anybody else who understands.” (4) ACTIVE ARCHIVE: 444 cases placed in Active Archive — “insufficient data to facilitate analysis.” As of February 2026, AARO’s total caseload exceeds 2,000 (up from 1,652 in late 2024 — +400 in ~15 months). Approximately 1,000 reports now lack sufficient data for analysis. (5) 2025 ANNUAL REPORT: As of April 2026, AARO has not published its FY2025 annual report. The office is described by DefenseScoop as “noticeably tight-lipped” about ongoing investigations since Trump’s disclosure order.
