Pentagon AARO FY2025 UAP Update: Nearly 1,900 Reports, Satellite Flare Attribution, and a 178% Rise in UAS Near Nuclear Infrastructure

To the point

An overdue FY2025 report from the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office shows a growing UAP database of about 1,900 cases, including a 178% jump in drone sightings near U.S. nuclear facilities, with many reports unresolved or awaiting more data, some explained as satellite flares, nine referred for IC or S&T analysis, no evidence of exotic materials, and Micah Hanks noting that while extraordinary explanations are not supported, the persistent unexplained cases keep investigators actively collecting data.
