Pentagon UFO chief tells Senate ‘very anomalous objects’ need careful study (video)


It’s never aliens.

At least, it hasn’t been yet. The United States Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities heard testimony on Tuesday (Nov. 19) from Jon T. Kosloski, director of the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). The U.S. Department of Defense created the office in July 2022 in order to have a single place for military and government personnel to report UFO sightings, or UAP, as they’re now known. The new term, short for unidentified anomalous phenomena, encompasses not only unidentified objects or events in the sky, but also those in water, in space or those that appear to travel between these domains.

During today’s hearing, Kosloski came in strong, stating that “it is important to underscore that, to date, AARO has not discovered any verifiable evidence of extraterrestrial beings, activity or technology.” Still, despite having resolved hundreds of cases with prosaic explanations, Kosloski noted that his office does not believe that every UAP is a bird, balloon or drone. “We do have some very anomalous objects,” he said.

Kosloski also reported on the office’s latest analysis of UFO/UAP cases, stressing that his office will “continue to follow the science and data wherever they lead” and keep both Congress and the public as informed as possible  —  at the unclassified level, he clarified.
