Government Agency
The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office is the United States defense organization responsible for coordinating the government’s investigation of unidentified anomalous phenomena. Established in 2022 and placed under the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, AARO succeeded the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group and absorbed the work associated with the earlier UAP Task Force. Congress subsequently placed its duties in statute and expanded its historical-review and reporting responsibilities.
AARO receives reports from military and federal channels, develops analytic standards, works with intelligence and scientific partners, and issues public case resolutions and annual reporting with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Its mandate covers anomalous detections in air, sea, space, and transmedium environments when they may implicate national security or flight safety. The office also created a secure mechanism for current and former government personnel to report knowledge of alleged UAP-related programs or activities.
Under founding director Sean Kirkpatrick, AARO built its initial analytic system and delivered public briefings to Congress. Its 2024 historical report said it found no empirical evidence that the U.S. government or private industry had possessed extraterrestrial technology, while acknowledging persistent reporting and data limitations. Witnesses, advocates, and some lawmakers have challenged AARO’s access, methods, and conclusions. Those disputes concern both institutional trust and the difference between failing to substantiate a claim and proving that no concealed activity ever existed.
AARO is now the government’s central operational repository for UAP reporting, but it does not control every sensor, archive, special-access program, or congressional investigation relevant to the subject. Its credibility therefore depends on transparent methods, documented access, reproducible case work, and clear statements about uncertainty. The office’s lasting importance will be measured less by the number of unexplained cases than by whether it creates a reliable, reviewable system for distinguishing hazards, ordinary objects, sensor effects, foreign technology, and genuinely unresolved observations.
Two Government Accountability Office (GAO) officials are reportedly visiting military facilities across the country to interview service members about UAP sightings, how their bases handled those reports, whether witnesses were treated respectfully, and whether the Pentagon’s UAP office (AARO) properly documented their accounts. The findings will be included in a GAO audit of AARO mandated by Congress, but the agency has said they will not be released publicly. Source: Weaponized Podcast (Jer...
Mario Woods & Michael Johnson FINALLY REUNITED‼️ In 1977, two Air Force security policemen guarding nuclear missiles at Ellsworth Air Force Base encountered a massive craft, non-human beings, and lost nine hours of time. The military separated them. One was discharged. The other spent almost 50 years searching for his partner. The FBI, AARO, and numerous private investigators couldn’t find him… but we did. On this week’s episode of American Alchemy, Mario Woods & Michael Johnson finally reuni...

Is It Smart to Work with AARO? I'll try again: What do you guys think about this? I know @devgru1980mi is NOT a fan. I took the time to include all of Marler's replies, along with the replies of a few other OGs in Barry Greenwood and Greg Bishop. Two names you might not know.

Is working with Grusch-shunning AARO, to help provide them historical data, a good or bad thing? I included highlights from this @BrandiVincent_ article, PLUS extensive comments from Marler (and others) via Facebook.

FBI UFO Unit REVEALED, RECOVERED Alien Beings, Sandra Bullock's UFO & AARO’s Secret DEAL
AARO notably wants pre-1990 archives, as it hustles to meet Congress’ call to review the U.S. government’s UAP involvement since 1945.
The Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) is pursuing a sole-source contract for a commercial data subscription to the National Unidentified Flying Object Historic Records Center (NUFOHRC). This New Mexico nonprofit holds North America’s largest private collection of historical UAP/UFO records, including unique pre-1990 case files unavailable elsewhere. The access supports AARO’s congressional mandate to review the U.S. government’s UAP involvement since 1945. Led by historia...
