Jon Kosloski

Jon Kosloski is a physicist and the director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), the U.S. government's central UAP investigation body. Appointed in August 2024 after a career at the National Security Agency, he has steered AARO through the run-up to and aftermath of the 2026 PURSUE records releases.

Kosloski holds a doctorate in physics with a background in quantum optics and crystallography. At NSA he worked in research roles including as a senior technologist, and he came to AARO with a reputation as a data-driven scientist without prior public connection to the UAP topic.

As director he oversees AARO's case intake, resolution reports, and congressional testimony. At a November 19, 2024 Senate Armed Services subcommittee hearing he presented AARO's analysis resolving the GoFast video as a probable slow-moving object made to look fast by parallax, while also stating that AARO holds a small number of "true anomalies" that interest him, citing cases with characteristics current science does not readily explain. Under his tenure AARO has expanded sensor deployments and published annual UAP reports, and its records portal underpins the PURSUE release infrastructure.

Kosloski's public posture threads between his predecessor's skepticism and the advocacy community: most cases resolve, a residue does not, and the residue deserves better data rather than belief. His contribution is continuity: AARO's processes survived the transition from its embattled founding into the disclosure-era spotlight.

Disclosure advocates fault AARO under Kosloski for slow-walking whistleblower claims and for resolutions they consider premature; skeptics occasionally fault his "true anomalies" language as feeding the mystery. Both critiques are quieter than those aimed at his predecessor.

Kosloski remains AARO's director as of 2026, with the office's resolved-case reporting running parallel to the Department of War's PURSUE unresolved-records releases.
