Only between 2% and 5% of the 800 cases currently being investigated by the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) “display signatures that could reasonably be described as anomalous,” the head of that office testified during a NASA hearing Wednesday. But while the majority of those cases “demonstrate mundane characteristics of readily explainable sources,” a “large number” of those sightings are “technically unresolved…primarily due to a lack of data associated with those cases,” AARO Director Sean M. Kirkpatrick testified.
The Russian Kursk submarine suffered a tragic catastrophe in the year 2000, which has been the subject of various theories and explanations over the years. Recently, a shocking revelation has emerged, challenging the official version of the incident.

A U.S. Air Force officer helping to spearhead the service’s work on artificial intelligence and machine learning says that a simulated test saw a drone attack its human controllers after deciding on its own that they were getting in the way of its mission. The anecdote, which sounds like it was pulled straight from the Terminator franchise, was shared as an example of the critical need to build trust when it comes to advanced autonomous weapon systems, something the Air Force has highlighted in the past.
The US Navy has completed maintenance and modernization work on the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington, Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) reports. Arrival at Naval Station Norfolk marks the end of testing and acceptance by the Navy.
The work carried out by HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding ensures the operation of the ship for the next 25 years. In addition to the change in nuclear fuel, various aircraft carrier systems were modernized. The Navy estimates that the USS George Washington will return to service in 2024 in the US 7th Fleet.
In 2009, then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev claimed that Russia would have no future as a state without a proper navy. Since then, the situation for the Russian Navy has been grim, with the loss of the Moskava frigate, flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, sunk by Ukrainian anti-ship missiles and a lack of investment in modernizing the navy.
However, significant progress in shipbuilding and repair has recently been announced, which could signal a change in the horizon for the Russian Navy.
