Pentagon UFO report reveals more than 700 new cases, including 21 the agency couldn’t explain

The Pentagon and Director of National Intelligence have released the annual report on UFO sightings, and while they still haven’t found an extraterrestrial origin for the more than 700 new reports that came out last year, there are has about two dozen that make them really curious. .

UAP is the term used by the Pentagon and the intelligence community to describe UFOs, which stands for unidentified anomalous phenomenon. The agency that reviews all new incidents reported by military personnel and now other federal agencies is the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).

From May 2023 to June 2024, AARO received 757 new incident reports, 485 occurring during that period and an additional 272 reports from 2021 and 2022 that had not previously been sent to the agency. This is a significant increase from previous reports. For example, last year’s report cited 281 new reports during its review period, which Pentagon officials said Thursday was due to greater awareness of UAP incident reporting, not an increase of their frequency.

Overall, the total number of cases reviewed by AARO since its inception now stands at 1,652.

The AARO has “discovered no evidence of extraterrestrial beings, activities, or technologies,” according to this year’s report. A small number of this year’s reports included earthly explanations and a significant number will be left for further review, but one thing they didn’t find is that some of the reports are attributable to “revolutionary” technology.

However, during a press briefing on Thursday, the AARO chief acknowledged that there were 21 reports over the past year and a half that he couldn’t really explain.

“There are some interesting cases that I don’t understand, given my background in physics and engineering and my time at the IC, and I know no one else understands them,” said Dr. Jon Kosloski, the new director of the AARO. Kosloski said all 21 incidents occurred near national security sites and were captured on video, had multiple eyewitnesses or were captured by other sensors.

So what do these inexplicable UAPs look like? “Orbs, cylinders, triangles, in one of the cases it’s happening over an extended period of time, and it’s possible that multiple things are happening,” Kosloski said, adding that the incidents could include drone activity that is confused with a UAP.
