AARO Director Kosloski Confirms “Very Anomalous Objects” Under Investigation

Source coverage from The Debrief of jon-kosloski’s first major congressional testimony as aaro director before the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee in November 2024.

Key Claims

  • Kosloski described the U.S. as investigating “some very anomalous objects,” a notable rhetorical shift from predecessor Sean Kirkpatrick’s firmer denials
  • AARO does not dismiss all reports as conventional explanations
  • The office has been “reaching out to the broader community, encouraging folks who had talked to AARO personnel in the past, and maybe felt uncomfortable to come back to us”

Resolved Cases Presented

CaseYearResolution
Puerto Rico Customs aircraft video2013”Likely a pair of balloons or sky lanterns” floating at seven knots
”Go Fast” Navy video2017Parallax effect; object at ~13,000 feet, not near water surface
Mount Etna drone footage20183D modeling showed object 170m from volcano plume, not passing through it

Unresolved Cases Described

  • Law enforcement officer witnessed an orange orb hovering above ground with a “blacker than black” object nearby that ascended “10 to 100 times faster than any drone” without sound
  • A stationary cylinder comparable to a commercial airplane hovered over a southwestern facility before disappearing inexplicably
  • A small object captured on film passed between two aircraft at high speed

Leadership Shift

Unlike predecessor Sean Kirkpatrick, Kosloski emphasized rebuilding trust with potential witnesses and the broader UAP community. This outreach-first approach marks a significant change in AARO’s public posture.

Future Initiatives

  • Plans to launch a public reporting mechanism in 2025 for civilian UAP sighting submissions via the AARO website
  • Called for persistent monitoring at high-security facilities
  • Requested continued congressional support
