UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED 1 An AARO Information Paper AARO and the Declassification Process September 2025 The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) is the U.S. Department of War office established to investigate and resolve report of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). AARO is responsible for receiving, processing, and adjudicating UAP reports, and routinely accesses classified information—including that collected by U.S. Government systems—to complete its review of UAP reports. The processes governing the classification of information are complex and can be misunderstood. Our national defense requires that certain information be classified to protect our citizens, our democratic institutions, our homeland security, and our interactions with foreign nations. Neverthe
