U. Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena
During the 117th Congress, the Committee continued its oversight of the UAP issue, specifically working to ensure that the Department of Defense's efforts to report and respond to UAP are coordinated with those of the IC. In 2021, members on the armed services and intelligence committees spearheaded legislation standing up an office to replace the U.S. Navy-led UAP Task Force and broadening its efforts to improve data-sharing between agencies on UAP sightings and address national security concerns. In 2022, the Committee directed further changes to the office in the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, establishing the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) under the Deputy Secretary of Defense and the Principle Deputy Director for National Intelligence to provide comprehensive management of the UAP issue across the Department of Defense and the IC. Importantly, associated legislation mandates a secure authorized disclosure reporting process allowing witnesses to report to AARO any relevant information at any security level. Finally, the legislation directs the AARO to conduct a historical study going back to 1945 to document U.S. historical efforts to address UAP.
The Committee also focused efforts on gaining additional insights into the increasing numbers of UAP sightings over or near U.S. national security assets. At a time when near-peer adversaries are fielding advanced all-domain technologies at a rapid pace, the Committee worked to ensure the IC allocates sufficient resources and attention on UAP to avoid technology surprise from a potential adversary.
