The Pentagon is launching a website that will provide declassified information available about unidentified flying objects to the public — including photos and videos, federal officials announced Thursday.

The website will be the official website for information released by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office [AARO] — a relatively new Pentagon office founded in July 2022 tasked with analyzing reports of unidentified aerial phenomena [UAPs] in US airspace.

“This website will serve as a one-stop shop for all publicly available information related to AARO and UAP,” a Department of Defense press release says.

“AARO will regularly update the website with its most recent activities and findings as new information is cleared for public release.”

The website appears to still be under construction, but is scheduled to be up and running in the fall, the DOD said.

The Pentagon said it was “committed to transparency with the American people on AARO’s work” on UAPs.

Through the new site, the public can peruse photos and videos of UAPs as they are declassified and read reports on the sightings as they become available.

The site will feature tracking maps of deployed aircraft, balloons and satellites as well.

When finally operational, the AARO site will also have a tool that allows “former U.S. government employees, service members, or contractors with direct knowledge of U.S. government programs or activities” to file a report directly to AARO regarding unidentified aircraft.

The AARO has received reports of more than 800 UAP sightings in the last three decades. However, just 2 to 5% were considered “possibly really anomalous” AARO director Sean Kilpatrick revealed earlier this year. 

Public interest in UAP has skyrocketed since former top intelligence official David Grusch claimed the US was hiding evidence of extraterrestrial life — but did not provide any evidence while testifying before Congress this summer.
