Key points

  2. It receives military, federal, and aviation-related reporting streams.

What AARO does

AARO coordinates UAP analysis across the U.S. government. Its public materials emphasize a rigorous scientific framework, data-driven review, case resolution, declassification where possible, and pathways for authorized reporting. For researchers and readers, AARO is important because it provides official terminology, case imagery, and reports that can anchor public discussion.

FAQ

Can the public report directly to AARO?
