Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Pentagon's top UFO investigator, just admitted there are cases
so bizarre that even he with decades of classified intelligence experience,
can't explain them. But here's the interesting part. His own
data shows ninety eight percent of UFO reports are completely
ordinary objects. What's happening with the remaining two percent? Today
(00:23):
we're analyzing doctor John Koslowski's rare public interview as director
of ARROW, the Pentagon's All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, and
this marks one of his first major media appearances since
taking over UFO investigations back in twenty twenty four. I'm
Christina Gomez, and welcome to this episode of UFO News Updates.
(00:45):
Doctor John Koslowski doesn't give interviews, as noted in Defense
Scoop reporting. Since assuming control of ARROW back in August
of twenty twenty four, he's made fewer than five major
public appearances, So this Star Talk inn with Neil de
grass Tyson represents his most detailed discussion of ongoing UFO
(01:05):
investigations to date. Let's hear how the Pentagon's UFO chief
frames the entire phenomenon.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Why were UFOs rebranded as UAP That's the only way
I can think about what you guys, did we all
know what UFOs are? Unidentified flying objects and you're still
using the you unidentified an anomalist that extra, I don't
know what it is, and then P is phenomenon. So
what led to this need to rebrand it?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah, Essentially the public took over the term UFO and
made it synonymous with extraterrestrials. And for us in the government,
that becomes problematic because the definition sort of supposed to
be in the name unidentified an anomalists. We don't know
what it is. We need to approach it without bias.
Could be any number of things. But if we just
assume it's extraterrestrial, that's going to guide our investigation.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Got it. So it put a little distance between you
and that assumption that people make.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yes, per Insights from Aeros November twenty twenty four Congressional report.
The office has processed over sixteen hundred UFO reports since
its inception. According to the data presented to senators, approximately
forty percent of cases have been resolved with conventional explanations,
(02:22):
while fifty seven percent remain in what officials term an
active archive due to insignificant data for analysis. Insignificant to
them and the timing of this interview is significant because
I feel like in the last few weeks UFOs have
been spoken about consistently, especially at Capitol Hill. Koslawski revealed
(02:45):
what may be one of the most detailed government accounts
of anomalous UAP encounters ever disclosed publicly. The case involves
multiple law enforcement officers across the same geographic region which
he refused. This is to identify keeping it anonymous. Reporting
encounters with both triangular objects and glowing orbs.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
There are a few triangles that have been seen by
local law enforcement.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It's glowing triangles in the city's.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Case, very very black triangle triangular prism, so it looks
like a pie slice hovering about the size of a
Prius about forty to sixty meters away. So as the
officer was driving up to investigate underneath the glowing orb,
he slammed on his brakes and this thing, the size
of a Prius, blacker than black, reared up forty five
(03:36):
degrees and then shot up into the sky faster than
anything he'd ever seen. And as it was leaving his sight,
it shot out red and blue fireworks flares so bright
it lit up the inside of his vehicle. He didn't
see any propulsion, no wind, didn't hear anything over the
sound of his own vehicle.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
And you have more than one of these sightings.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
We have a few others, one from local law enforcements,
from the hes not able to get a pit I
thought no dash cam.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Unfortunately, level of detail Koslowski provides is unprecedented for aerow
have you've been following this at all. We almost never
get any details from them, and what makes this account
particularly compelling are the specific sensory details. Koslowski emphasizes that
the object produced no audible sound and showed no visible
(04:20):
propulsion systems. The red and blue emissions were just lights.
They were described as fireworks or flames so brilliant that
they illuminated the interior of the police vehicle as if
someone had set off fireworks just outside. Arrow is only
investigating UFO cases by people in the military, former or present,
(04:43):
and also those in the government as well, and this
is obviously including law enforcements, so they're not taking anyone's
UFO sightings, only those that meet government criteria. Now, listen
to how this encounter affected a trained law enforcement professional.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I didn't the officer turn on their forward dash camp.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
In this case, he slammed on his brakes. It happened
almost instantaneously, and he was terrified.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
He didn't know.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
In this case, I don't think he was skeptical. He
was terrified for his life, and so he was just
getting back to a safe position. That's what that was.
He did one hundred miles an hour backwards while on
the phone with his sergeant the whole time.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
The officer's reaction provides pretty critical context. The fact that
a trained law enforcement official, accustomed to dangerous situations you
would think right, would react with such apparent terror adds
weight to the account's credibility. Do you think so or not? Really?
Let me win the comments below. However, the most problematic
(05:42):
aspects of this encounter is the complete absence of documentation,
As Koslowski admits, there's no dashcam footage, no cell phone video,
no photographic evidence of any kind, and in an era
where police vehicles are whipped with multiple record systems and
(06:02):
officers carry body cams, this lack of evidence raises very
significant questions. Was it because the craft affected the technology
or was all the evidence wiped? According to research by
the National UFO Reporting Center in Newfork. Triangular UAP reports
(06:25):
have increased dramatically since twenty nineteen, with law enforcement accounts
compromising roughly fifteen percent of total reports. But Koslowski's case
stands apart because of its integration into an official Pentagon
investigation and the unprecedented level of detail being shared publicly.
(06:49):
And what's particularly intriguing is that this wasn't an isolated incident.
Koslowski mentions a few others from local law enforcement in
the same region, adjusting a pattern of encounters that AARRO
is actively investigating.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
That same region of the country. A couple of law
enforcement officers had seen glowing orbs a few hundred feet
above the ground a few miles away.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Previous UFO disclosures have focused on resolved cases with conventional explanations,
Oh what you saw here was swamp gas. Oh what
you saw here was venus. Oh what you saw here
was an owl sitting on a tree trunk. But for
Koslowsky to share details of an active, unresolved investigation involving
(07:34):
multiple witnesses suggests either a new transparency approach or strategic
communication aimed at preparing the public for eventual disclosure of
the cases resolution. If you enjoy UFO news updates, case studies,

Arrow's track record reveals a concer assistant pattern dramatic UFO
cases that capture public attention, eventually receiving conventional explanations. Koslowski
detailed three major resolved cases that demonstrate this methodology. Watch
(08:15):
how the Pentagon explains away the most famous UFO video
of recent years, but with no real data to back
it up.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
There are few cases that might have been mysterious initially
and then they were like case solved with the rubber stamp.
So I have one here, go fast? So what is that?
What it was? Go Fast?
Speaker 3 (08:33):
It's a classic case from twenty fifteen. It was popularized
in twenty seventeen where n F eighteen super hornet was
flying off the coast of Florida. It appears to be
close to the surface of the water, and that's what
the pilot saw. It looks like that object is just
zipping along really quickly near the surface of the water.
But after careful analysis of all the numbers on the
heads up display there and doing the geometry and looking
(08:54):
at the track of the airplane as it was flying,
we were able to assess that the object actually had
to be at about thirteen thousand feet, not close to
the water, and the plane was about twenty five thousand feet.
And there's actually an optical phenomenon called motion parallax, which
familiar with from astronomy, that makes it appear that the
object is moving much faster relative to the background that
it actually.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
There's no rotor wash, there's no jet wash. There's nothing though,
That's what's fascinating about this.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
There's nothing. But with the parallax we can assess that
the object is moving actually at wind speed. So we
don't know what that object is, but we know that it's.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
It's moving called the bird.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
It's consistent with a bird or a balloon.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
And after an explanation like that, I'm feeling a little
less optimistic. The go Fast video, which generated millions of
views and widespread speculation, was resolved, according to Arrow, has
an optical illusion. According to Arrow's analysis, the object was
likely a bird or balloon at high altitude, with parallax
(09:53):
effects creating the appearance of extraordinary speed. Similarly, the Mount
Etna case, where an object appeared to fly through superheated
volcanic ash, was explained through detailed pixel analysis showing the
object was actually one hundred and seventy kilometers from the volcano,
nowhere near the dangerous ash plume. Do you believe that
(10:16):
explanation or not? And we know that in the comments below.
But here's where the story takes a pretty fascinating turn.
Despite resolving the vast majority of cases, Koslowski admits there
are phenomena that genuinely puzzle him, and obviously those are
the cases we want to hear about. Koslowski acknowledged significant
(10:38):
obstacles to public disclosure related to protecting classified sensor capabilities
rather than hiding extraordinary discoveries, as noted in congressional oversight reports.
This creates a fundamental tension between public transparency and national security.
The most compelling UFO data often comes from the military's
(11:00):
most sensitive surveillance platforms. According to analysis by the Government
Accountability Office. ERO is developing methods to sanitize classify data
with preserving scientific value, but this process can take years
for each case, so they say. And it's also worth
(11:20):
noting that arrow does have a hard time collecting data
from other agencies, so that can also affect the timeframe
and labeling it as a national security issue. What do
you think about Arrow's ninety eight percent resolution rate? Are
the remaining two percent of cases worth of significant resources
(11:40):
being invested in UFO investigations. Let me know your thoughts
in the comments below. That is it for today. I
will see you next time. Be safe and remember keep
