The AARO Website

 

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.

 

RELEASE

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Department of Defense Launches the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office Website

Aug. 31, 2023   

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.

I do NOT know what to make of this.

On 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.
