In a recent development, the Department of Defense (DOD) has confirmed the appointment of Dr. Jon T. Kosloski as the director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), colloquially referred to as the Pentagon's UFO office.
Dr. Kosloski, a former official at the National Security Agency (NSA), will now spearhead the AARO's investigations into UFOs and other unexplained phenomena, as reported by the Daily Caller. His expertise spans across quantum optics and crypto-mathematics, as well as mission-oriented research and analysis.
In his new role, Dr. Kosloski will liaise with other sectors of the Intelligence Community to mitigate the risk of "technical and intelligence surprise" from unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), the term currently favored by the government for UFOs.
"Jon possesses the unique set of scientific and technical skills, policy knowledge, and proven leadership experience required to enhance AAROs efforts to research and explain unidentified anomalous phenomena to the Department, Congress, and the American people," Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks stated in the press release.
Dr. Kosloski succeeds Sean Kilpatrick, whose tenure was marked by a lack of substantial revelations. Kilpatrick's team reportedly delved into archives dating back to 1945, nullified all non-disclosure agreements signed by individuals privy to classified information, yet found no evidence to support the existence of extraterrestrials on Earth.
Kilpatrick acknowledged that some whistleblowers did encounter classified material, but not UFOs. He also suggested that these individuals were more inclined to share their experiences with the public rather than government authorities, a tendency he viewed as a "red flag."
As Dr. Kosloski steps into his new role, there is hope that he will succeed in fostering public trust and transparency. His agenda includes a thorough examination of the historical record on UFOs and an effort to declassify as much data as possible.
The DOD has yet to respond to requests for comment from the Daily Caller. The appointment of Dr. Kosloski, and the potential for increased transparency and public trust, marks a significant moment in the ongoing investigation into unidentified anomalous phenomena.
