    OFFICIAL RECORD

    Released Pentagon records detail AARO's 2025 UAP workshop and outreach to Uruguay

    Records released to The Black Vault under a Freedom of Information Act request show the Pentagon's UAP office, AARO, held an invitation-only workshop in Vienna, Virginia, in August 2025, attended by around 40 government, academic and independent researchers and focused on standardising UAP data and applying artificial intelligence to it. The same release shows AARO separately hosted representatives of Uruguay's official UAP investigative body, CRIDOVNI, for a mission briefing, a Pentagon lunch with AARO's director and chief technology officer, and a private tour, while discussing future collaboration. AARO withheld 19 pages entirely and redacted parts of others, citing internal deliberations and privacy, so not all participants are named. The Black Vault filed the request in March 2026, a day after DefenseScoop first reported the workshop's existence.
