Your weekly intelligence briefing on UAP disclosure activity.

The Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) convened a closed workshop this week to solicit input on the future direction of UAP research, signaling continued internal momentum despite public disclosure efforts slowing in recent months. Meanwhile, the disappearance of General Neil McCasland has drawn UAP researchers into the spotlight, with his wife this week pushing back against what she called "misinformation" surrounding his case, even as experts continue offering theories about what happened. With the FY2026 National Defense Authorization Act UAP briefing deadline set for June and the Contact in the Desert conference scheduled for May, the coming months will test whether AARO's workshop plans translate into new research frameworks or policy shifts that reach beyond Pentagon walls.
