This unclassified briefing from the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office was given by Deputy Director Tim Phillips to the Defense Space, Geospatial and Intelligence Leadership Conference and was released on 2/6/2025. It defines UAP and notes that most reports lack enough data, while most that can be assessed resolve to mundane objects. It says a 2018 Mt. Etna object was likely a balloon. It also describes controlled tests at Camp Grafton, North Dakota, a Space UAP Tiger Team, and Starlink flaring as a cause of reported orbs.
