Ross Coulthart and Randy Bostick: inside AARO

Ross Coulthart speaks with physicist Dr. Randy Bostick, a former science adviser to the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), at a conference in Toronto. Bostick explains what AARO does and does not hold, discusses allegations of crash retrieval programs, and walks through his analysis of the Navy’s Go Fast video.

The conversation covers reports of drone incursions in New Jersey and objects over nuclear sites, as well as Gremlin, AARO’s sensor system designed to monitor the sky for weeks. Bostick returns to the problem of missing evidence: military aircraft and sensors detect unknown objects, but data that might help explain them is rarely saved. They also discuss radar jamming, potential flight-safety risks, redacted videos, and the office’s future.
