THE SKINNY ED REPORT · ARCHIVED EDITION
Saturday's board is led by one genuinely new primary-source release rather than six unrelated headlines. A 92-page Department of War FOIA package surfaced yesterday and adds names, logistics, correspondence, and international outreach behind AARO's August 2025 workshop on UAP narrative data. The records show AARO arranging reciprocal mission briefings with Uruguay's official CRIDOVNI commission, recruiting a mixed group of scientists, archivists, machine-learning specialists, and civilian UAP researchers, seeking wider South American participation, and contemplating a follow-on workshop. They also document the limits of the release: 19 of 89 responsive pages were withheld in full, and portions of the rest were redacted. Today's six items separate what the documents establish from what they do not. This is evidence of government research coordination and data-infrastructure planning—not a new sighting, case resolution, extraordinary technology finding, or proof of nonhuman origin.
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

Correspondence set a Pentagon agenda for CRIDOVNI and AARO to compare missions, analytical methods, difficult cases, and possible future collaboration.
Confirmed Planning · Outcome Unknown
Read the story & sources
Physicists, archivists, machine-learning specialists, social scientists, civilian UAP organizations, and AARO shared the two-day program.
Named Program · Participation Contextualized
Read the story & sources
The workshop brief targeted incompatible formats, missing metadata, fragmented archives, and cautious large-scale analysis—not a predetermined explanation.
Confirmed Goals · Implementation Not Shown
Read the story & sources
The records show an unanswered invitation to Chile's SEFAA and a request for additional regional contacts ahead of a proposed follow-on workshop.
Documented Intent · Follow-Through Unconfirmed

Read the story & sourcesGood morning, investigators. Today's strongest signal is institutional, not airborne. A newly public FOIA package puts names and correspondence behind AARO's 2025 narrative-data workshop: physicists sat beside archivists, machine-learning specialists, behavioral researchers, civilian database operators, and government personnel to wrestle with reports that arrive in incompatible formats and often lack technical metadata. The most consequential addition is international. AARO planned reciprocal mission briefings with Uruguay's CRIDOVNI at the Pentagon, asked about its analytical methods and difficult low-data cases, tried to bring Chile's SEFAA into the workshop, and sought contacts for other South American organizations. The documents also mention a follow-on workshop planned for early 2026, but do not show whether it happened or produced a formal collaboration. Finally, the release itself has hard boundaries: AARO found 89 responsive pages, withheld 19 completely, and redacted parts of the other 70. That is a useful administrative record with real gaps—and precisely zero license to turn a workshop agenda into a recovered-craft headline.
ED’S HIGH THOUGHT · FICTIONAL HUMOR
Okay, hear me out… AARO put machine-learning engineers, archivists, physicists, and UAP investigators in one room to harmonize witness reports. That is exactly how you accidentally train Clippy on alien encounters. It starts with, ‘It looks like you're describing a light in the sky,’ and six hours later it has grown three chrome fingers, renamed every folder ABDUCTION_FINAL_v9, and is hovering over Uruguay asking whether you'd like help formatting your cow.
