(C) and submerged objects or devices that are not immediately identifiable and that display behavior or performance characteristics suggesting that the
objects or devices may be related to the objects or devices described in subparagraph (A) or (B). (Per the NDAA FY23 Section 1673(d)(8))
The DoD considers Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) as sources of anomalous detections in one or more domains (i.e., airborne,
seaborne, spaceborne, and/or transmedium) that are not yet attributable to known actors and that demonstrate behaviors that are not readily
understood by sensors or observers.
“Anomalous detections” include but are not limited to phenomena that demonstrate apparent capabilities or material that exceed known performance
envelopes. A UAP may consist of one or more unidentified anomalous objects and may persist over an extended period of time.

AARO is currently accepting reports from current or former U.S. Government employees, service members, or contractor personnel with direct
