The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office released its FY2024 Consolidated Annual Report on November 19, 2024, bringing the total number of UAP reports in the government's database to more than 1,600 since systematic tracking began.
The report documented 757 new reports filed during fiscal year 2024, a 47 percent increase over the previous year. Of those 757 cases, the office was able to characterize 587 as likely mundane: drones, balloons, atmospheric phenomena, sensor artifacts. The remaining 170 remained unresolved at publication.
Of particular note, 21 cases were flagged as warranting further analysis due to anomalous performance characteristics that could not be explained by known technology. AARO stated specifics would be shared in a classified appendix.
The report explicitly stated that AARO found no evidence of extraterrestrial origin in any case. However, it also acknowledged that the vast majority of UAP events are observed by military sensors not designed for the task, creating systematic gaps in coverage.
