Background
Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, director of the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), announced the activation of Phase 2 of the secure reporting mechanism on the aaro.mil website during an off-camera media roundtable. This development follows requirements outlined in Section 1673 of the fiscal year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act.
The new reporting channel specifically targets current or former U.S. government employees, service members, and contractors possessing direct knowledge of alleged government UAP programs or activities dating back to 1945. The web form functions as an initial secure contact point rather than a conduit for classified information transmission. It captures contact details, employment history, and program descriptions to facilitate follow-up interviews by AARO personnel.
Kirkpatrick emphasized that all submissions remain confidential and protected, accessible only to AARO staff. This mechanism operates independently from operational UAP sighting protocols for active military personnel and FAA reporting systems for civilian pilots. The gathered testimonies will directly support AARO's comprehensive Historical Record Report scheduled for congressional delivery in June 2024.
