Just yesterday, the DoD
put out a press release about the AARO office and the website that has been created.
AARO, defined as the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, has put up a
website. While there is some criticism for it, I’ll note that it seems to be
still under construction. There are some videos up and some information, which
doesn’t bode all that well for UFO research. But following is the press release,
as well as a link to the site.
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Department of Defense Launches
the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office Website
Today
the department launched a website on the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office
to provide the public with information concerning AARO and its efforts to
understand and resolve unidentified anomalous phenomena.
This
website will provide information, including photos and videos, on resolved UAP
cases as they are declassified and approved for public release. The
website's other content includes reporting trends and a frequently asked
questions section as well as links to official reports, transcripts, press
releases, and other resources that the public may find useful, such as
applicable statutes and aircraft, balloon and satellite tracking sites.
This
fall, consistent with Section 1673 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2023, AARO will launch a secure reporting tool on the website
to enable current and former U.S. government employees, service members, or
contractors with direct knowledge of U.S. government programs or activities to
contact AARO directly to make a report. The department is conducting its
final reviews to ensure the reporting mechanism complies with the Privacy Act
of 1974, the Whistleblower Protections Enhancement Act of 2012, the Federal
Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act of 2002 (No FEAR Act), and the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. In the interim, current U.S. service
members, U.S. government employees, and civil aviators are encouraged to
continue to use the existing reporting mechanisms available to them through
their organizations. A mechanism for members of the general public to
make reports will be announced in coming months.
The
department is committed to transparency with the American people on AARO's work
on UAP. This website will serve as a one-stop shop for all publicly
available information related to AARO and UAP, and AARO will regularly update
the website with its most recent activities and findings as new information is
cleared for public release.
You
can see AARO's new website at https://www.aaro.mil.
I do NOT know what to make of this.
ReplyDeleteOn the one hand, it's exciting to see an official government website devoted to the issue.
On the other hand, what's on the site right now is just fluff, with little actual data. People with a casual interest in the subject might find AARO's site interesting. Those of us with a deeper interest/knowledge of the UAP/UFO phenomena? Probably not so much.
I'm willing to give AARO a chance, but based on past experience I'm not expecting a whole lot.
The key words are photos and videos of "resolved cases" of prosaic and mundane origin....The intent is to proclaim transparency with the hope that the majority of the public with a passing interest in the subject will view some of the content and conclude that the Pentagon is transparent, forthcoming and on the level, not understanding that this is a sequel to the Condon Comittee findings and conclusions made in 1969...with the subtle intention of making it quietly going away. I believe the blog author a few years predicted this would occur.
