The report was a preliminary assessment. This should hopefully generate new information requirements and what are the consequent courses of action.

I have limited my analysis to: the ODNI`s Preliminary Assessment, the memo / letter issued with the report by DEPSECDEF Kathleen Hicks and the accompanying DoD press release by Admiral John Kirby.

I have not conducted a specific comparison of the ODNI UAP report against the requirements of the INTELLIGENCE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021, as this has been done by someone else and may be released in the future.

I have also not repeated general assessments of the ODNI UAP report as found in various blogs and news outlets, except where points are particularly good and stand out for some reason.
