Documents / Official release
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.

So as AARO is 2 developing and implementing its science plan it has to do so 3 grounded in a solid foundation of scientific theory across 4 the entire range of hypotheses that have been presented for 5 what UAP are. 6 That range spans adversary breakthrough technology, on 7 one hand, known objects and phenomena in the middle, all the 8 way to the extreme theories of extraterrestrials. 9 All of that has physics-based signatures associated 10 with it, whether it is theoretical from the academic 11 community known from things like hypersonic weapons or 12 adversary breakthrough technologies, as we have talked about 13 before, or the known objects that we have to go measure. 14 The idea is across that entire range you have to come 15 up with peer-reviewed scientific basis for all of it. The 16 academic community plays a very big role on the -- one end 17 of the spectrum, the intelligence community on the other end 18 of the spectrum, and then measurement in the middle. 19 Once I have those signatures identified in validated 20 peer-reviewed documents then I have something to point to 21 for all that data because all that data is going to match 22 one of those signatures, and then I can go, well, it is that 23 and not that or it is that, and that helps us go through all 24 that. 25 Where NASA comes in and the study that they are doing, Page determined to be Unclassified Reviewed by Chief of Staff, AARO IAW FY24 NDAA, Section 1841(a)(1)(C) Date: 2/6/2025 022
