Former deputy director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), Tim Phillips, disclosed that the office processed thousands of unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) reports, narrowing them down to 40 to 50 cases exhibiting extraordinary performance characteristics that defy explanation. Phillips confirmed that AARO found no evidence linking these objects to U.S. or adversary technology despite extensive analysis by top experts. Notably, Phillips acknowledged previously undisclosed UAP activity detected in space, though he declined to provide additional details.
AARO established formal cooperation with the U.S. Space Force and Space Command to enhance data collection on UAP activity in space. Phillips emphasized the rigorous deconfliction and investigative process undertaken by AARO and maintained that no verifiable proof of extraterrestrial or non-human origin had been found. The interview also revealed potential internal challenges, including contested transfers of technology related to non-human intelligence within intelligence offices, as well as contrasting public statements from former AARO leadership.
This disclosure deepens ongoing government efforts to investigate UAP in a structured and transparent manner. The collaboration between AARO and military space agencies underscores the expanding operational domain of UAP phenomena beyond terrestrial airspace. The absence of definitive conclusions yet persistent unexplained cases highlights the challenges in evaluating encounters that stretch existing technological and intelligence paradigms. This evolving process reflects broader institutional attempts to balance national security interests with public transparency on this longstanding, contentious issue.
