Archivist note

An unclassified briefing published by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), distributed as the file AARO_Mission_Brief_2025.pdf and labeled as last updated June 2025 (document control number 25-P-0881). The brief is attributed to AARO Director Dr. Jon Kosloski. Per its own text, it defines Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) as “sources of anomalous detections in one or more domains (i.e., airborne, seaborne, spaceborne, and/or transmedium) that are not yet attributable to known actors and that demonstrate behaviors that are not readily understood by sensors or observers.” It states that Congress established AARO to investigate what hazards or threats UAP might present across service, regional, and domain boundaries, and it sets out AARO’s mission, vision, and function, its divisions and organization, reporting channels for military and civilian personnel, and AARO-stated contributions to national security.

The brief also presents AARO’s stated analytic trends — including the assertion that only a small percentage of UAP reports display anomalous signatures and that many cases remain unresolved due to a lack of verifiable data — and summarizes several example cases. This archive links to the official source document on aaro.mil and also hosts a local preservation copy of this public-domain document; the official source remains authoritative. The aaro.mil host blocks automated fetch; the document was confirmed real via its archived Wayback snapshot (the snapshot above), which returns the genuine unclassified PDF. This archive is not official, asserts no extraterrestrial origin, and endorses no conclusion beyond what the official source states.
