The Pentagon’s office tasked with the official investigation of UFOs has selected a new director to lead its efforts in resolving sightings of unusual phenomena reported by military personnel.

The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which studies incidents involving what the military now calls Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), announced on Monday that Dr. Jon T. Kosloski has been selected as its new full-time director.

“Dr. Kosloski brings extensive experience working in multiple scientific fields, including quantum optics and crypto-mathematics, as well as leading mission-oriented research and analysis teams,” a Pentagon statement read. Kosloski holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University and Bachelor’s degrees in Mathematics and Physics from California State University, San Bernardino.

Prior to Kosloski’s appointment, Tim Phillips served as AARO’s interim director since October 2023, following the departure of the office’s inaugural full-time director, Sean Kirkpatrick, who led AARO’s efforts since its establishment in July 2022.
