This is a stenographic transcript of an April 19, 2023 hearing of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities, chaired by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, on the mission and budget of the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office. AARO released it in full in 2025. Director Sean Kirkpatrick testified that AARO has found no credible evidence of extraterrestrial activity and that most reports resolve into mundane objects. He also presented trend data and two declassified MQ-9 videos, one of which was resolved as a commuter aircraft.

AARO is working very hard to do the 14 same. That is how science works, not by blog or social 15 media. 16 We know that there is tremendous public interest in UAP 17 and a desire for answers from AARO. By its very nature the 18 UAP challenge has for decades lent itself to mystery, 19 sensationalism, and even conspiracy. 20 For that reason, AARO remains committed to 21 transparency, accountability, and to sharing as much with 22 the American public as we can consistent with our obligation 23 to protect not only intelligence sources and methods but 24 U.S. and allied capabilities. 25 However, AARO's work will take time if we are committed Page determined to be Unclassified Reviewed by Chief of Staff, AARO IAW FY24 NDAA, Section 1841(a)(1)(C) Date: 2/6/2025 022
