The U.S. government UAP reports

Reports by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (2021) and the Department of Defense's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (2024) on unidentified aerial phenomena, mostly seen by military aviators.

On 25 June 2021 the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a preliminary assessment, nine pages long, of unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP. Its task force looked at 144 reports from U.S. forces between 2004 and 2021, most of them from Navy personnel and most from the final two years of that span, once a new reporting system became known among military pilots.

The report identified one object with high confidence, a large balloon that was deflating. The task force left the other 143 unexplained, Wikipedia and Lawfare note. Wikipedia adds that the assessment gives no details on individual cases.

In 2024 the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, part of the Department of Defense, published the first volume of its historical record report. It addressed claims from people it interviewed that companies had worked on alien technology. AARO says it found no evidence that any U.S. company ever held off-world technology, and that executives of the named companies told its director on the record they had never recovered or reverse-engineered any. Roll Call reported the finding that the claimed programmes were nonexistent, mistaken readings of unrelated security programmes, or a programme that had been shut down.
