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 online portal for current or former U.S. government employees, service members, or contractors to report UAP (UFO) experiences.
This reporting mechanism specifically targets individuals with direct knowledge of alleged U.S. government programs or activities related to UAP dating back to 1945.
The collected reports will contribute to AARO's historical record report, due to Congress by June, focusing on firsthand accounts of clandestine government UAP programs.
This new portal is separate from existing UAP reporting procedures for active military personnel and civilian pilots, and is not yet available for the general public.
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.
