U.S. government efforts to investigate Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs). From 2007 to 2012, the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) focused on UAPs that posed a potential threat to military assets and airspace. Following this, the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) operated from 2020 to 2021, analyzing UAP sightings and releasing a report in 2021. Currently, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) oversees investigations across all domains (air, sea, space) and emphasizes scientific study and transparency. This shift toward transparency is reflected in recent public disclosures, including a 2017 New York Times article that brought AATIP to light, regular Pentagon reports to Congress, and Congressional hearings in 2022 that addressed national security concerns.
