In this September 2025 congressional statement, Navy Senior Chief Alexandro C. Wiggins gives his personal account of a February 2023 USS Jackson encounter off Southern California. He says four Tic-Tac-like objects were observed and tracked with shipboard sensors, while making clear that the statement represents his views rather than an official Navy or Defense Department position.

In his November 2024 statement to a Senate Armed Services subcommittee, AARO Director Jon Kosloski outlines the office’s reporting, investigation, partnership, transparency, declassification, archival, and sensor priorities while stating that AARO had more than 1,600 reports and no verifiable evidence of extraterrestrial beings, activity, or technology.

Retired U.S. Navy Commander David Fravor’s July 2023 congressional statement recounts the November 2004 USS Nimitz encounter, reports unusual visual and sensor observations, describes later investigative contacts, and argues for congressional oversight of alleged UAP-related programs.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s June 2021 preliminary assessment reviews 144 government UAP reports from 2004 through March 2021, emphasizes data limitations, describes multisensor observations and unresolved cases, identifies flight-safety and possible security concerns, and recommends standardized reporting, expanded collection, and further analysis.
