AARO's UAP Case Resolution Reports: All Resolved Cases
An index of the U.S. All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) case resolution reports — the named UAP cases AARO has formally assessed, each with its date and AARO's stated conclusion, linked to the full record. AARO's assessments are restated here; the original reports are authoritative.
The U.S. Department of Defense’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) publishes case resolution reports: documents that lay out how AARO assessed a specific named UAP case, what data it used, and what it concluded. This page is an index of the resolved cases this archive hosts, each with AARO’s stated conclusion and a link to the full record. For what “case resolution” means as a process, see the guide What Does “Case Resolution” Mean?. The assessments below are AARO’s, restated; the original reports are authoritative, and this archive is independent — not an official or government source.
The resolved cases
Listed by report date.
- Atmospheric Wakes (8 May 2023) — Three 2022–2023 infrared videos from operators over the Middle East and Mediterranean appeared to show an anomalous propulsion signature. AARO assesses the effect was a sensor artifact and the objects were prosaic aircraft.
- Western United States (8 May 2023) — A 2021 report of five equidistant infrared lights at 20,000–40,000 feet, flagged as a possible airspace incursion. AARO assesses the lights almost certainly were commercial aircraft on established air corridors, as far as 300 nautical miles from the sensor.
- Southeast Asia Triangles (17 March 2023) — Satellite imagery from 30 August 2017 showed six triangular objects in formation, flagged as potentially anomalous. AARO assesses the objects almost certainly are cone-shaped static fishing nets floating on the ocean surface.
- Eglin UAP (14 October 2023) — On 26 January 2023 a military pilot near Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, reported an object at about 16,000 feet via radar and electro-optical/infrared sensors. AARO assesses with moderate confidence it was very likely a lighter-than-air object, such as a large commercial lighting balloon.
- Go Fast (6 February 2025) — The widely circulated “Go Fast” video, recorded in January 2015 by a U.S. Navy aircraft. AARO assesses with high confidence the object did not move at anomalous speeds: at an altitude of about 13,000 feet, its wind-compensated speed was roughly 5 to 41 mph. (The apparent high speed is a parallax effect of the moving sensor platform.)
- Puerto Rico Object (20 March 2025) — Footage recorded 26 April 2013 by an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. aircraft. AARO assesses with high confidence the objects did not exhibit anomalous behavior or transmedium capabilities, and with moderate confidence that they were a pair of sky lanterns.
- Mt. Etna Object (28 April 2025) — An object reported as moving at 345 mph at 500 feet. AARO assessed it at about 24 mph and 15,000 feet, with moderate confidence it was a balloon and high confidence it did not exhibit anomalous behavior.
- Al Taqaddum Object (8 September 2025) — On 23 October 2017 an infrared sensor on an aerostat over Al Taqaddum Air Base, Iraq, recorded about 17.5 minutes of an unidentified object. AARO assesses with high confidence it did not exhibit anomalous behavior and was consistent with a cluster of fully and partially inflated balloons.
How to read these
Each case resolution report states AARO’s confidence level (for example, “moderate confidence” or “high confidence”) for its assessment. A resolution explains a specific reported observation; it does not make a claim about UAP in general. Where a summary here and the official report differ, the report governs.
