Pentagon UFO Office Reveals It Is Investigating ‘Hundreds’ Of New Reports
The US Department of Defense has analyzed hundreds of UFO reports reported by its service members since last year. Some of these objects fly in ways we don’t yet understand, including in space and underwater, officials revealed.
The head of the government’s UFO office, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, and Defense Under Secretary Ronald Moultrie made the revelations at a Pentagon briefing to reporters last Friday (full transcript below).
“There are things that seem to demonstrate interesting flight dynamics that we’re fully investigating and studying right now,” said Kirkpatrick, head of the All Domains Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).
Moultrie revealed that they had received reports from Military and intelligence officials and other agencies of unidentified objects not only in the air, but also underwater and even in space—and emphasized the Department of Defense’s cooperation with NASA in trying to identify these phenomena.
Sean Kirkpatrick, director of the Pentagon’s newly formed All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), did not rule out the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence and said he was taking a scientific approach to the investigation.
“We have been working with the Department of Energy, the Federal Aviation Administration, NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and others to share information and leverage resources,” he added.
However, when asked by reporters about specific cases in space, Moultrie replied that he was classified.
“Our ability to solve things in the spatial domain, and what we have in the spatial domain is something that is under sensible sources, methods, and media. So we prefer not to answer that question,” said the undersecretary of defense for intelligence and security.
Flood of UFO cases
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a report in June 2021 that documented 144 UFO incidents reported by government, Military, and intelligence officials. That was followed by an admission in May 2022 at a public congressional hearing that 400 reports had been received.
Kirkpatrick said his office had reviewed “several hundred” more since then, including some incident reports from before 2021 but recently filed.
Friday’s briefing followed the passage in Congress of a national defense spending bill that contained new requirements for the government to investigate UFOs. An amendment added hundreds of pages to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to require a wide range of government departments to report UFO incidents to AARO.
Under the legislation, which President Joe Biden is set to sign into law later this month, the AARO will also have to dig into government records going back to 1945 and prepare a report on past UFO investigations.
Another striking part of the new law is a protection program for defense officials or contractors who want to report alleged secret programs involving undisclosed UFO material to Congress, which until now have been muzzled by confidentiality agreements.
Moultrie was asked if the Department of Defense had any evidence of such incidents involving crashed alien spacecraft.
“We’re being very thorough about it and going back, trying to understand all the compartmentalized programs that this department and all the predecessor organizations have had,” Moultrie responded. “I haven’t seen anything to date to suggest that there has been an extraterrestrial visitation and alien crashing or anything of the sort.”

“However, we are still very early in the work we are doing,” he added without ruling out the possibility entirely.
It should be noted that in the congressional hearing last May, Moultrie claimed to be unaware of the details of the famous case of the Malmstrom base, where UFOs deactivated nuclear missiles. A fact that led several researchers and even politicians —such as Tim Burchett— to accuse the Undersecretary of Defense of a cover-up.
“An updated report from the Director of National Intelligence that will provide specific figures on new reports received since 2021 is expected in the coming weeks,” Pentagon officials concluded.
