The UAP Task Force was a US government body that investigated and coordinated military reports on unidentified phenomena.
The Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) was an official body within the US Department of Defense, established in 2020 under the Office of Naval Intelligence. Its role was to coordinate the collection and reporting of sightings, primarily within the Navy, and to analyze data from pilots, radars, and sensors.
On June 25, 2021, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a public report on 144 incidents documented since 2004. Most of these lacked a definitive explanation; the report did not conclude that they were extraterrestrial craft. Some of the possible explanations mentioned included sensor confusion, measurement errors, or misperception.
In November 2021, the Task Force was replaced by the AOIMSG group, and in 2022, AARO was established within the Department of Defense as a broader entity to address anomalous phenomena across various domains. Officials reported classified materials and unusual sightings, but these were not public scientific findings; no evidence confirming an extraterrestrial origin was presented.
