All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) 1 An AARO Information Paper Correlations of Starlink 1 Satellite Flaring with UAP Observations December 2024 Introduction With the advent of satellite communication mega-constellations including the SpaceX Starlink, Eutelsat OneWeb, Amazon Kuiper, and Chinese G60 constellations, there are currently thousands of art…

The document discusses the optical phenomenon of satellite flaring caused by artificial satellites, particularly the SpaceX Starlink constellation, and how these flares can be misinterpreted as unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). It provides methods for observers to identify and predict satellite flares and their implications for UAP reports.

The DGI Briefing presented by the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) outlines the organization's mission to investigate Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) and improve detection and analysis methods using data and AI. It highlights the challenges in UAP reporting, the importance of data quality, and recent findings related to UAP encounters, incl…

… described as resembling burning space debris and was reported by multiple aircraft. The report also mentions a possible misidentification of the phenomenon as Starlink satellites or the International Space Station.

… phenomena while en route from BQN to EHAM. The crew noted two aircraft operating in a racetrack pattern and later speculated that the lights observed might be Starlink satellites.

…na consisting of blinking lights while flying at high altitude. The incident was noted by multiple aircraft in the vicinity, and NORAD attributed the lights to Starlink satellites.

…s report details a UAP incident involving multiple aircraft that observed unidentified aerial phenomena near Des Moines, Iowa, which were later identified as a STARLINK satellite train.

…details an incident involving an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed by a commercial aircraft on February 7, 2023. The phenomenon was later identified as a STARLINK satellite train.

A commercial aircraft reported an unidentified aerial phenomenon while flying at 37,000 feet. The phenomenon was identified as a STARLINK train, confirmed by NORAD.

… while flying at FL350 near Boise, Idaho. The phenomenon appeared as lights in a triangular/linear pattern, which were later determined to be consistent with a Starlink satellite train.

…cial aircraft reported an unidentified aerial phenomenon consisting of a string of lights while flying at FL380. The lights were believed to be associated with Starlink satellites.

… aircraft reported an unidentified aerial phenomenon while flying at 40,000 feet. The phenomenon was described as moving lights and was noted to correlate with StarLink satellite constellations.

…identified aerial phenomenon consisting of multiple lights circling above while flying at FL370. The phenomenon was not detected on radar and may be related to StarLink satellites.

…16, 2023, Southwest Airlines flight 549 reported seeing a string of lights while flying at 38,000 feet near Memphis, TN. The sighting was later correlated with Starlink satellites, and no evasive action was taken by the crew.
