Newly Released Documents Show UAP “Space Tiger Team” Built Around Space and Transmedium Cases

A newly released document outlines the 2023 formation of a “UAP Space Tiger Team” led by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).

A newly released document obtained through a FOIA request originally filed with U.S. Space Command outlines the 2023 formation of a “UAP Space Tiger Team,” a coordinated effort led by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) to address unidentified anomalous phenomena within the space domain.

The document describes a structured initiative aimed at integrating UAP considerations into space-based operations and detection frameworks.

The document, a Joint Staff Action Processing Form dated November 20, 2023, describes a structured initiative aimed at integrating UAP considerations into space-based operations and detection frameworks.

The source interprets the framework as addressing UAP operating in space and across other physical environments.

The source notes that the document uses the terms “spaceborne” and “transmedium,” and interprets that language as extending the framework beyond traditional aerial encounters to phenomena operating across multiple domains.

The Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act directs the Department to develop processes and procedures for timely and consistent reporting of UAP.

The initiative is directly tied to legislative requirements under the Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act: 'The FY23 NDAA, section 6802, directs the Department to develop processes and procedures to ensure timely and consistent reporting of UAP.'

Participation in the Space Tiger Team was requested across multiple major commands and agencies.

The document shows that participation in the Space Tiger Team was requested across multiple commands and agencies, including U.S. Space Command, U.S. Northern Command, NORAD, elements of the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force, and intelligence agencies including the National Reconnaissance Office and National Security Agency.

The document states that the Space Tiger Team’s output would establish a foundation for normalizing UAP-related activities within the space domain.

The document states that the output from the Space Tiger Team effort would “establish the foundation for normalization” of UAP and UAP-related activities within the space domain and across key commands, services, and combat support agencies.
