New Pentagon Website for UAP Reports and Information
The Pentagon has launched a new website, AARO.mil, to facilitate the reporting of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), previously known as UFOs. This development is a significant step in acknowledging and addressing the UAP issue, providing transparency and credibility. Here’s what you need to know:
AARO.mil: Your Source for UAP Information
AARO.mil, the website for the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, is now accessible to professionals and the general public interested in UAPs. While it’s still a work in progress, it already offers valuable resources:
- UAP Videos: The website features eight videos showcasing UAP sightings.
- Archives: It provides access to congressional reports, briefings, press releases, and other relevant documents.
- One-Stop Shop: AARO.mil aims to be the go-to platform for all publicly available information related to UARO and UAPs.
Increased Attention and Oversight
Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks has taken direct oversight of AARO and its director, Sean Kirkpatrick. This move is designed to expedite AARP’s development and the website’s launch, highlighting the Pentagon’s commitment to addressing the UAP issue.
Transparency and Responsibility
Hicks emphasizes the importance of transparency in AARO’s work, pledging to share discoveries with Congress and the public. This commitment aims to balance national defense and intelligence needs with public awareness.
Secure Reporting Tool for UAPs
A secure reporting tool for UAPs will be launched this fall, allowing current or former government employees, military personnel, and contractors to submit UAP reports. The Pentagon also plans to announce a mechanism for the general public to make reports in the coming months.
Encouraging Reporting
Civilian pilots are encouraged to report UAP sightings to air traffic controllers. AARO will receive UAP-related pilot reports (PIREPs) from the Federal Aviation Administration.
UAP Categories
AARO classifies UAPs into three categories:
- Airborne objects not immediately identifiable.
- Transmedium objects or devices.
- Submerged objects or devices not immediately identifiable, exhibiting behavior suggesting a connection to the first two categories.
Understanding UAPs
The Defense Department defines UAPs as sources of anomalous detections across various domains (airborne, seaborne, spaceborne, and transmedium). These detections are not attributable to known actors and display behavior not easily understood by sensors or observers.
Possible Origins
While the website doesn’t explicitly mention extraterrestrial origins for UAPs, government officials and lawmakers are increasingly concerned about UAPs as potential intrusions by countries like Russia or China. For instance, the recent incident involving a Chinese spy balloon that entered U.S. airspace before being intercepted by an Air Force fighter jet underscores the need for further investigation.
In conclusion, the Pentagon’s new website and increased attention on UAPs signal a growing commitment to understanding these phenomena and ensuring public access to relevant information while considering national security implications.
