Dr. Voss's Analysis
AARO's 2025 declassification information paper addresses a common public question: why is so much UAP information still classified? The paper explains that classification typically protects sources and methods, personnel safety, and operational security rather than hiding evidence of non-human craft. AARO states it is committed to facilitating the declassification and public release of as much UAP-related information as possible while protecting national security equities.
