AARO: All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office

Documented What these labels mean →

The Pentagon's UAP office, created July 2022 (successor to the UAP Task Force and AOIMSG) under USD(I&S). Directors: Sean Kirkpatrick (2022–Dec 2023), Tim Phillips (acting), Jon Kosloski (NSA Research, 2024–). Its Historical Record Report Vol. 1 (March 2024) found no evidence of USG recovery or reverse-engineering and called the claims 'circular reporting.' It also judged the Bi/Mg 'Art's Parts' and the Army–TTSA sample terrestrial. Kosloski later told Congress (Nov 2024) 'we do have some very anomalous objects.'
