The director of the newly established Pentagon office tracking reports of UFO told reporters on Friday that while the office has received several hundreds of new claims, there has been no indication of extraterrestrial life to date.
The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which was established in July, is in charge of tracking unidentified objects that are not only in the sky but also on the ground, in space, or possibly even one that can travel from one domain to another.
Does Humans Found Aliens?
The office was founded after more than a year of interest in mysterious flying objects that military pilots had seen but occasionally hesitated to report out of fear of embarrassment.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence revealed in June 2021 that there had been 144 such interactions between 2004 and 2021, 80 of which had been recorded by multiple sensors.
The main purpose of the news conference was to clarify words and phrases. According to Ronald Moultrie, the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, UAP now stands for unidentified anomalous phenomena, which expands the definition of the term to encompass strange sightings in space as well as at sea.
In the remarks from Moultrie and Sean Kirkpatrick, head of the AARO, or All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, during last week’s news briefing, This was once the UAP Task Force under U.S Navy command.

Pentagon Clarifies UFO News
The director of the newly established Pentagon office tracking reports of UFOs told reporters on Friday that while the office has received several hundreds of new claims, there has been no indication of extraterrestrial life to date.Moultrie and Kirkpatrick made it clear that despite the new nomenclature, none of the 400 or so UAP reports that the DoD is currently analyzing exhibit trans-medium UAP, which would suggest that the objects with unexplained origins and movements are not visible moving from, say, the water up to the air.
DoD is concerned about UAP because of its unknowable nature and potential hazards. Unidentified phenomena represent potential dangers to personnel security and operations security in all domains, including the air, ground, sea, and space, according to Moultrie. As a result, they urgently need our attention.
Many of these sightings are difficult to explain, therefore the idea of extraterrestrial life frequently comes up. According to Moultrie, the DoD takes a public interest in UAP seriously and will continue to offer updates on a quarterly basis every few months.
Officials do not currently have any basis to think that any UAP represents an encounter with an intelligent extraterrestrial lifeform.
