JUST FOR FUN
All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO)
This is the official US repository of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) using a rigorous scientific framework and a data-driven approach. Since its establishment in July 2022, AARO has taken important steps to improve data collection, standardize reporting requirements, and mitigate the potential threats to safety and security posed by UAP. We look forward to using this site to regularly update the public about AARO’s work and findings, and to provide a mechanism for UAP reporting.
PS: I miss the X-Files. Let’s hope they reboot it.
