AARO's UAP case count grew from roughly 500 to about 800 over the roughly seven months of the panel's fact-finding process, and the Department of Defense will soon mandate (if it has not already) UAP reporting by pilots, which is expected to further increase the volume of reports.

growing from an odir report that was something like 500 to... something like 800 now, so that's accelerating, and a DOD will soon also mandate, if not already, reporting by pilots

The panel states it has personally seen only a few unclassified images of UAP with adequate context, and has heard only a single firsthand account from a former military aviator during its entire seven-month fact-finding process.

our team has really only seen, I'd say, a few unclassified images of UAP which lack the contextual data that's needed to understand their true nature, and I believe we've heard a single first-hand account from a former military Aviator
