Context: DoD, AARO & FAA — How Authorities Handle UFO Reports
The Pentagon’s AARO continues to collect and analyze UAP reports, developing new systems for better case management. Read the official updates: AARO.mil and coverage of new reporting systems: DefenseScoop (May 21, 2025). Meanwhile, the FAA publishes quarterly drone/UAS sightings reports, often mistaken for UFOs. You can explore the 2025 database here: FAA UAS Sightings Reports (2025).
Late 2024 Incursions That Shaped 2025 Security Measures (UK Bases)
Just before 2025, the USAF confirmed repeated unidentified drone incursions over three British military bases (Lakenheath, Mildenhall, Feltwell). This ongoing mystery shaped how authorities handle unknown aerial activity in 2025. See the CBS News report (Nov 26, 2024) and the AP update (Nov 24, 2024).
Note: NUFORC cases are direct civilian witness reports published with timestamps. While not always officially confirmed by governments, they provide raw, valuable data showing the ongoing reality of UFO phenomena in 2025. Alongside this, official agencies like AARO and FAA are increasing their infrastructure for systematic investigation, proving the subject is taken more seriously than ever.
