Probed Analysis

The Federal Aviation Administration is the United States agency responsible for regulating civil aviation and operating the national airspace system. Created as an independent agency in 1958 and placed within the Department of Transportation in 1967, it certifies aircraft and airmen, sets safety rules, manages air traffic, licenses commercial space launches, and maintains aviation infrastructure.

FAA data include radar and flight tracks, air-traffic communications, pilot reports, notices, weather coordination, and information from airlines and airports. Those systems are designed for safe separation and identification, not necessarily for scientific study of anomalies. Records may be retained under different operational rules, and military traffic or classified activity can fall outside what a civilian controller is permitted to know. The agency’s air-traffic organization maintains control centers, approach facilities, towers, surveillance systems, and communications across the national airspace. Aviation safety offices separately oversee certification and reporting, while the commercial-space office licenses launches and reentries. Those divisions can hold different pieces of one event, making accurate office and record identification important for later reconstruction.

Pilots sometimes report airborne UAP through aviation or law-enforcement channels, and the FAA contributed to interagency UAP assessments. Its traffic data can identify aircraft, balloons, launch activity, or restricted airspace and can corroborate timing. The agency does not determine extraterrestrial origin, and a controller’s inability to identify a target in real time is only the beginning of analysis.

FAA’s institutional importance is the bridge between safety reporting and national-security investigation. Standardized intake, stigma-free pilot reporting, and preservation of relevant data would improve work by AARO and independent analysts. The agency’s strongest contribution is a reliable civil-aviation baseline against which genuinely unusual activity can be measured.

We asked: ‘Has President Trump, as Commander-in-Chief, issued any order, directive or authorization permitting U.S. military personnel to shoot down UAP, UFOs, unidentified “orbs” or other unidentified airborne objects?’

Ross Coulthart: "There has been a Government Operation to summon & shoot down UFO's of non human origin. It's at the request of President Trump" 🛸👽🇺🇸 “Yes, they have been summoning, detecting, and yes, shooting down what we some call drones, others UAPs.” The February El Paso airspace shutdown was not about cartel drones or a party balloon. It was a sudden FAA closure with almost no warning, Defense Department personnel on site, and lawmakers still demanding classified briefings that have...

Fiscal Year 2025 Consolidated Annual Report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena

All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office14 pagesJul 20, 202626-P-08801

AARO's FY2025 report says it received 319 UAP reports and resolved 114 of them, while 191 entered an active archive for insufficient data and nine merited further analysis. It highlights an active Virginia maritime case involving about 100 airborne UAP and two likely uncrewed surface systems, 50 UAS incidents near nuclear sites that were not reported as UAP, and two unresolved reports of possible electronic or avionic interference. AARO says resolved cases were prosaic and that it found no evidence of captured or exploited UAP-derived materials.
