National Reconnaissance Office and Sentient
The National Reconnaissance Office] (NRO) revealed in 2022 that its Sentient program had involvement with the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) in tracking and research of unidentified aerial phenomena. The emails from June 2022 disclosed the NRO and UAPTF working with still-classified military or intelligence staff from another part of the government to track UAPs/UFOs in their Sentient imagery systems:

"From: Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2021 8:41 AM To: Subject: RE: Sentient R&D support to UAPTF

Classification: SECRET//NOFORN

Good morning,

NRO's Sentient R&D as a UAP Model to look for UAP in imagery, but we need an external customer to ask for it to be turned on.

And you are our primary customer.

So would you mind assisting us.

Declassified NRO UAP reports
In June 2022, the NRO declassified and released two unique and redacted reports on Sentient activities. Both documents detail an incident involving Sentient detection activities at "0038:17Z" ("Zulu time", equivalent to UTC). The "Recent Sentient Highlights" report details on page 2 that the Sentient program captured telemetry of a UAP/UFO, compared by government officials in the official report to the "Tic tac" UFO involving the USS Nimitz, which was revealed in 2017 by the New York Times after being disclosed to them by former military official Luis Elizondo:

"(U) BLUF

(S/REL) At 0038:17Z 6 May 2021, Sentient image processing detected a possible airborne object ~78km southeast of

(S/REL) The object was small (<10m), and did not match the visual signature of typical aircraft detections


 * The object did, however, vaguely resemble similar detections of airborne objects by US Navy aircraft and surface vessels in the Operating Areas ('Unidentified Aerial Phenomena')
 * There is a rough similarity to the previously-reported 'tic tac' shape
 * The object was likely not a sensor artifact or focal plane anomaly (although more in-depth imagery analysis is warranted)

(TS//SI//TK//REL) There were no correlating tracks present in reporting, nor was there any correlating ELINT/SIGINT in  reporting, despite time-coincident  access/collection


 * Sentient detections did, however, detect the presence of the prob in the same imagery ~25km to the west
 * In recent reporting1, the has been associated with command-and-control (C2) activities, as well as more traditional telemetry and space functions -- the simultaeneous presence of this high-interest vessel is notable, although possible merely coincidental

(TS//SI//TK//REL) Confidence is relatively low in this detection, but the potential linkage to similar phenemenon off of may warrant further investigation"
