AARO: From AATIP to Public Reporting—A DoD Data-Driven Framework for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena
To the point
DoD’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, created in 2022 and led by Dr. Sean M. Kirkpatrick (later Dr. Jon T. Kosloski) with Tim Phillips as deputy, investigates unidentified anomalous phenomena across air, sea, space, ground, and subsurface using a data-driven six-line inquiry, tiered process to favor ordinary explanations and standardized reporting, building on AATIP and the UAP Task Force; a 2024 Historical Record Report found no empirical evidence of off-world technology, though many cases remain unresolved or data-limited and whistleblower claims by David Grusch have fueled debates on transparency.
