An unmanned aerial system [UAS] is observed during Naval exercises off the U.S. East Coast in early 2022. The object in this image was first classified as an unidentified anomalous phenomena [UAP] before being reclassified as a UAS based on additional information and data from other UAP sightings.

Key Takeaways:
The Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) has launched a new secure reporting mechanism for current and former U.S. government employees, service members, and contractors.
This initiative allows individuals with direct knowledge of alleged U.S. government programs or activities related to unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) dating back to 1945 to submit reports.
The collected information will contribute to AARO's historical record report due to Congress by June and is not for general public UAP sightings or routine current reports by military or civilian pilots.
The Pentagon wants to know more about current and former military and government workers’ experiences with unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), the government’s term for UFOs.
