Official FOIA Release
FOIA release opens AARO's private UAP workshop record
A 92-page package names presenters, documents foreign outreach, and exposes planning behind the 2025 narrative-data meeting without adding a new case finding.

Confirmed Records · No New Case Finding
The Department of War's response to FOIA case 26-F-1773 contains 70 partially released responsive pages, plus the request and response paperwork, concerning AARO's August 5–6, 2025 workshop on UAP narrative data. A working agenda identifies speakers and panelists whose names were omitted from the generalized agenda in AARO's later public white paper, while correspondence records invitations, travel arrangements, foreign-government engagement, and preliminary plans for another workshop.
The package confirms how AARO assembled and supported the event; it does not reveal a new UAP observation, sensor dataset, case resolution, or extraordinary-technology assessment. The response says AARO located 89 responsive pages, withheld 19 completely under the deliberative-process exemption, and redacted parts of the remaining pages for deliberative material and personal privacy. The record is therefore substantive but incomplete.
Why it matters
Naming the people, institutions, and correspondence behind a public government summary makes the workshop's methods and relationships more auditable while keeping its administrative record separate from claims about UAP origin.
