The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) published Volume I of its Historical Record Report in March 2024. Key findings:
- Reviewed UAP investigations from 1945 to present
- Concluded no verifiable evidence of extraterrestrial technology
- Attributed most sightings to misidentification of conventional objects
- Acknowledged investigation gaps in several historical cases
Critics, including members of Congress and former intelligence officials, challenged AARO's methodology and noted the report contradicted whistleblower testimony.
