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 online reporting mechanism for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).
This phase is exclusively for current or former U.S. government employees, service members, and contractors with direct knowledge of alleged U.S. government programs or activities related to UAP dating back to 1945.
The reports will contribute to AARO's historical record report, due to Congress by June, focusing on clandestine government UAP programs.
The general public is currently unable to submit reports through this specific portal but AARO is exploring methods for public submissions in a future phase.
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.
