DoD Establishes Privacy Act System of Records: All-domain Anomaly Resolution and Anomalous Phenomena Program Records (AARO-0001)

To the point

DoD has set up a new Privacy Act records system called All-domain Anomaly Resolution and Anomalous Phenomena Program Records (AARO-0001) to collect and keep personal information and UAP reports from current or former government personnel, contractors, and the public dating back to 1945 so AARO can detect, identify, and attribute objects and share a Historical Record Report, with data including names, DoD IDs, addresses, security clearances, details of UAP events, imagery, and analytic results, and this information may be shared with contractors, law enforcement, the DoJ, Congress, and other needed entities, it can be stored electronically or on paper in secure locations or certified cloud environments and looked up by name or case number, with disposition pending until an NARA retention schedule is approved and records treated as permanent in the meantime, safeguarded by multifactor authentication, encryption, access controls, security audits, and privacy training, and governed by 32 CFR part 310, effective May 6, 2024 with a public comment period through June 5, 2024, and inquiries to Paul Plescow, Chief of Staff of AARO, with Aaron T. Siegel as alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer.
