TL;DR Summary

The US Space Force aims to identify and track mysterious objects in Earth's orbit through space domain awareness (SDA). While SDA primarily focuses on monitoring space debris, commercial satellites, and adversary spacecraft, the Space Force also wants to identify objects with abnormal observables and unknown origins. The ability to rapidly identify and respond to such threats requires the use of various sensors and intelligence information. Recent events have highlighted the need for improved tracking capabilities, prompting the Space Force to collaborate with private companies and establish the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office. Despite efforts, there is currently no credible evidence of extraterrestrial origin for these anomalous objects.
