Lawmakers in Washington say they have secured full funding for a Department of Defense office tasked with investigating unidentified flying objects and other phenomena, about six months after an alleged Chinese spy balloon floated across the U.S.
Funding for the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office was included in the Senate Armed Services Committee’s markup of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal 2024, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand confirmed last week.
Along with Sen. Marco Rubio, Florida Republican, Ms. Gillibrand pushed a bipartisan effort to fully fund the office after the previous year’s NDAA failed to provide sufficient funding. She called it a matter of national security.
