Pentagon UFO Sightings Study (Arlington, Virginia, USA)

📍 Location

📝 Description

Updated synthesis: In March 2024, the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office released an unclassified report reviewing unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) investigations dating back to 1945. The study concluded there is no evidence of extraterrestrial life or technology and attributed most sightings to misidentification of ordinary objects. A second volume was promised; subsequent reporting in 2024–2025 indicates ongoing data collection and analysis with hundreds of new UAP reports added and many resolved as mundane explanations, and no confirmed alien involvement.

🔍 Circumstances

The event was the public release of a Defense Department UAP study conducted by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). The review analyzed UAP investigations dating back to 1945, as mandated by Congress, and disseminated the findings through press reporting in March 2024 from Arlington, Virginia (the Pentagon).

ℹ️ Additional Details

AARO indicated that most sightings were ordinary objects or phenomena resulting from misidentification. A second volume of the report was planned. The release followed ongoing congressional interest in UAP transparency and data quality; subsequent reporting in 2024–2025 noted continued data collection and analysis within the UAP/UFO program and ongoing public interest.
