⎯UAP ≠unattributed balloon activity; 
key emphases on “anomalous” factors
⎯Existence of UAP is direct consequence 
of domain-awareness gaps
⎯UAP potentially represent advanced 
capabilities operating in our 
domain-awareness gaps
UNIDENTIFIED
ANOMALOUS
PHENOMENA
UAPare sources of anomalous detections in one or 
more domain (i.e., airborne, seaborne, 
spaceborne, and/or transmedium) that are 
not yet attributable to known actors and 
that demonstrate behaviors that are not 
readily understood by sensors or observers. 
“Anomalous detections” include but are not 
limited to phenomena that demonstrate 
apparent capabilities or material that exceed 
known performance envelopes. 
A UAP may consist of one or more 
unidentified anomalous objects and may 
persist over an extended period of time.

The FY23 NDAAmodified and expanded on the previous year’s UAP provisions, 
affecting authorities, organization, and reporting-requirements. 
⎯Established AARO as US Government lead for UAP efforts
⎯Amends structure, distribution of responsibilities 
⎯Requires annual report to be a joint, DoD & ODNIsubmission
⎯Adds Historical Record Report
⎯Adds UAP reporting procedures/protections 
⎯Increases number of congressional committees overseeing 
AARO activities
⎯Revises UAP acronym to stand for unidentified anomalous
phenomena
