The Pentagon's official office for addressing UFOs has a new website where U.S. government and military personnel can report their own sightings.

The All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) unveiled the new website on Wednesday (Aug. 30). According to a note from the office's director, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, the website(https://www.aaro.mil/)

will be used to inform the public about ARRO's findings as well as offer a way for the public to report sightings of UFOs or, as they're now called, unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).

While the site is still under construction, it features a section where the office will be "accepting reports from current or U.S. Government employees, service members, or contractors with direct knowledge of U.S. Government programs or activities related to UAP dating back to 1945." These reports will help the office complete a historical record of such events, as requested by the United States Congress.

The site also outlines the office's mission, which it states is to "minimize technical and intelligence surprise by synchronizing scientific, intelligence, and operational detection identification, attribution, and mitigation of unidentified anomalous phenomena in the vicinity of national security areas."

In addition, the site offers a three-part definition of UAP, which it states are objects in the air that can't immediately be identified; objects or devices that travel between different domains such as air, space or water; and underwater objects that are not immediately identifiable or may be related to the first two definitions.

This focus on objects in space and in water is part of the reason the term "UFO" has fallen out of fashion and has been replaced with the more all-encompassing term "UAP."

In a set of slides offering a more comprehensive overview of AARO's mission, it is stated that the office will study "recovered enigmatic technologies, leveraging cross-sector partnerships and the latest developments in theoretical and applied physics, [and] engineering."

In July 2023, a U.S. Air Force and intelligence community veteran told a Congressional subcommittee that the American government is hiding the existence of a "multi-decade UAP crash retrieval‎ and reverse-engineering program." No definitive proof of those claims have come to light, but several members of the U.S. Congress have vowed to get to the bottom of them.

AARO was established in July 2022 in order to "detect, identify and attribute objects of interest in, on or near military installations, operating areas, training areas, special use airspace and other areas of interest, and, as necessary, to mitigate any associated threats to safety of operations and national security," according to a Department of Defense statement.

Despite collecting hundreds of reports from U.S. military and government personnel, Kirkpatrick stated at a public hearing in April that his office "has found no credible evidence thus far of extraterrestrial activity, off-world technology or objects that defy the known laws of physics."

In a Frequently Asked Questions section on the new site, AARO states that it "uses a rigorous scientific framework and data-driven approach to better understand UAP" and will "follow the science wherever it leads."

“제보받아요”… 美 국방부, UFO 정보 공개·신고 홈페이지(https://www.aaro.mil/) 개설

미국 정부가 조사한 UFO 신고 영상 /AARO

미국 국방부가 ‘미확인 비행물체’(UFO) 홈페이지를 개설하고 관련 신고를 접수받는다.

지난달 31일(현지시각) 미국 CBS방송 등에 따르면, 미 국방부는 전날 ‘모든 영역의 이상 현상 조사 사무소(AARO)’ 관련 정보를 일반 국민에 제공하는 위한 홈페이지를 개설했다. AARO는 지난해 7월 설립된 국방부 산하 조직으로 하늘, 지상, 바다, 우주 등 모든 영역에서 목격되는 미확인비행현상(UAP)을 조사한다. 미국 정부는 UFO 대신 UAP를 공식 용어로 쓰고 있다.

AARO는 이 홈페이지를 통해 조사가 완료돼 비밀이 해제된 UAP 사건에 대한 정보, 사진, 영상 등을 공개할 계획이다. 현재 홈페이지에는 국방부가 지난 4월 의회 청문회 때 공개한 자료와 UAP 신고 영상 등 8건이 올라와 있다.

가을부터는 UAP 관련 제보를 받을 예정이다. 미국 정부의 UAP 관련 프로그램이나 활동에 대해 직접적인 정보를 알고 있는 전·현직 정부 직원, 군인, 계약업자 등의 제보를 받는 게 우선이지만 수개월 내로 일반 국민도 제보할 수 있는 창구도 마련할 것이라고 한다.

숀 커크패트릭 AARO 소장은 “이 사이트를 통해 대중에게 AARO의 업무와 조사 결과를 정기적으로 업데이트하고 UAP를 신고할 수 있는 수단을 제공하기를 기대한다”고 밝혔다.
