AARO Case Resolutions: 7 Declassified UFO Files
AARO, the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, publishes case resolutions: short reports that set what was reported against what its analysts assess. The resolutions read here, dated 2023 to 2025, identify sightings as fishing nets, commercial aircraft, a balloon cluster and sky lanterns. They also find no anomalous performance by the object in the Navy's 2015 "Go Fast" video.
Where the lore differs: Popular accounts say the "Go Fast" object raced low over the ocean; the files show it was about 13,000 feet up, moving 5–92 mph, with its apparent speed caused by motion parallax.

What stands out
This batch packs seven freshly declassified AARO case resolutions, each a tidy PDF where the Pentagon pretends to finally make sense of noisy sky sightings. Expect infrared footages, glow‑in‑the‑dark triangles, and a lot of bureaucratic jargon dressed up as conclusions.
- Puerto Rico UAP Case Resolution — Shows a 2013 infrared sensor capture of two objects over Puerto Rico – proof that even customs planes get accidental UFO footage.
- "GO FAST" Case Resolution Methodology — Details a 2015 F/A‑18F pilot’s FLIR video off Florida, illustrating how the Navy’s “GO FAST” methodology tries to wrangle blurry heat blobs.
- Al Taqaddum Case Resolution — Investigates a 2017 sighting near Iraq’s Al Taqaddum Air Base, reminding us that “Middle Eastern mystery lights” are still on the docket.
- Atmospheric Wakes Case Resolution — Roots out three 2022‑23 Middle‑East/Mediterranean cases as mere sensor artifacts, proving the AARO love for lab‑coat explanations.
- Case Resolution of Southeast Asia Triangles 508 02262024 — Covers six dark triangles sighted in 2017 over Southeast Asia, showing the Pentagon’s fascination with geometric UFOs.
