Atmospheric Wakes Case Resolution

Key highlights

• AARO determined that the UAP were not exhibiting anomalous propulsion.p.1

  “AARO assesses that the UAP reported in these three cases almost certainly were not exhibiting anomalous propulsion or atmospheric wakes.”

• The first case involved an unidentified object, but it was not anomalous.p.1

  “The object in Case One has not been identified, but AARO is certain that it was not exhibiting anomalous behaviors.”

• Case Three was identified as an Airbus A380 commercial aircraft.p.2

  “AARO’s intelligence partners have high confidence that they identified the UAP in Case Three as a specific Airbus A380 commercial aircraft.”

• The wakes observed were assessed as sensor anomalies by AARO's partners.p.2

  “AARO’s S&T Partners also assessed that the “wakes” observed in these three cases were sensor artifacts.”
