On May 3, 2026, Liberation Times published an investigation by Christopher Sharp asking the question that sits at the center of every UAP disclosure debate: does AARO know that UAP are real — and if so, is it telling the truth about what it knows?
The Whistleblower Evidence
Multiple whistleblowers who testified before the House Oversight Task Force on UAP Transparency in September 2025 stated that AARO “possesses classified information about UAP that has not been shared with Congress.” This is a direct contradiction of AARO’s statutory mandate. The task force chair Rep. Anna Paulina Luna described AARO’s responses to congressional inquiry as “insufficient and incomplete.”
AARO’s Public Position vs. Its Actual Findings
AARO’s Historical Record Report Vol. 1 (February 2024) stated it found “no verifiable evidence” of recovered non-human craft. But the same report documented 80 years of continuous UAP investigation, confirmed AATIP’s funding, confirmed UAP displaying performance beyond known capabilities, and confirmed the IC IG had designated David Grusch’s complaint “urgent and credible.” The “no evidence” finding coexists with documented evidence of government programs that investigated exactly what Grusch described.
The AARO Hearing Record
Congressional UAP hearings in 2023, 2024, and 2025 all produced similar testimony: AARO is not sharing what it has. Grusch testified in July 2023 that AARO was denied access to the SAPs he had investigated. Multiple former IC officers have said the same in subsequent hearings. AARO’s director Dr. Jon Kosloski has never directly addressed these allegations in public.
