On January 11, 2023, Sean Kirkpatrick, Ph.D., director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in the Department of Defense, gave a presentation to the Transportation Research Board (TRB), a component of the National Academy of Engineering, on AARO's "UAP Mission & Civil Aviation."
I am told that no video recording was made, nor is a transcript available, but I did obtain a short slideshow that Dr. Kirkpatrick presented. The slideshow is attached as a PDF, or it may be viewed or downloaded from my Google Drive at the link below.
Among the statements of particular interest:
"Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena are sources of anomalous spaceborne, airborne, seaborne, or transmedium observations that are not yet attributable to known actors or causes. Anomalous observations: material, behavioral, or capability attributes perceived to be beyond known performance envelopes."
"AARO leads integration of the [DoD's] UAP operations, research, analysis, and strategic-communications to deliver exquisite data, advanced sensors, sound analytics, and shared mission awareness and ownership...revealing and exploiting elusive and enigmatic signatures through advanced technologies and focused, cross-sector partnerships."
"[The] consequence of UAP in the vicinity of strategic [e.g., nuclear] capabilities is high, potentially threatening strategic deterrence and safety of civil society. DoD [is] strengthening observations and reporting capabilities near US strategic capabilities and critical infrastructure."
