The number of UFO sightings analyzed by the Defense Department numbered more than 800 over the past three years of reporting, according to data released Wednesday by researchers in the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office.
In the most recent report, which documented cases reported between August 2022 and April 2023, a total of 291 UAP sightings were analyzed “using a rigorous scientific framework and data-driven approach,” the Pentagon stated Wednesday. In total, the three annual reports from 2021 to 2023 comprise reviews of 801 sightings that date back to 1996.
In April, AARO Director Sean Kirkpatrick told lawmakers that there were no UAP sightings that had been determined to be of extraterrestrial origin. Additionally, Kirkpatrick noted that there was never a perceived threat by any individual sighting
