The director of national intelligence provided a report on unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs, to Congress on Wednesday as mandated by the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act.
This report, an unclassified version of which was released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, follows up on a highly anticipated assessment of 144 reports of UAPs originating from U.S. government sources between 2004 and 2021 that was released in June 2021.
The All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office investigated the 366 newly identified reports and found that 163 were characterized as “balloon or balloon-like entities,” 26 were characterized as unmanned aircraft systems, or a UAS, and six were attributed to clutter. The office describes the remaining 171 reports as “uncharacterized and unattributed UAP reports," though they later noted that"many reports lack enough detailed data to enable attribution of UAP with high certainty.
"Analyzing and understanding the potential threats posed by UAP is an ongoing collaborative effort involving many departments and agencies, and the Department thanks the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for leading a collaborative effort to produce this report, as well as the other contributing departments and agencies," Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder said in a statement on Thursday.
