The United States is not secretly hiding alien technology or extraterrestrial life forms from the public, according to a Pentagon report.
On Friday, the Department of Defense announced the results of a study conducted by the All Area Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which detects and, if necessary, mitigates threats such as “anomalous unidentified space, airborne, and submerged.” It is a government agency established in 2022 for the purpose of and transmedia objects”….
AARO investigators “have full access to all relevant classified information.” [U.S. government] The report reviewed all official government investigative activities since 1945. Investigators also said they examined classified and unclassified archives, conducted approximately 30 interviews, and worked with the intelligence community and Department of Defense officials responsible for managing and overseeing special access programs.
NPR writes, “The report found that many of the sightings were of drones, weather balloons, spy planes, satellites, rockets, and planets…”
“AARO confirms that U.S. government investigations, academically sponsored studies, and official review boards all confirm that the UAP sightings represent extraterrestrial technology,” Pentagon spokesman Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said in a statement Friday. We haven't found any evidence that it did.” All investigative efforts have concluded that most sightings are of common objects and are the result of misidentifications, Ryder said. A second volume of the report, which will include the results of the interviews and survey, will be published later this year. ”
The report found no evidence of confirmed alien technology, the Guardian notes.
It added that sensor and visual observations are incomplete, lacking actionable data in most cases, and the available data is limited or of poor quality. The report also said that resource and staffing for such programs was largely irregular and sporadic, and that the majority of reports were “almost certainly” the result of misidentification. Additionally, the report states: [U.S. government] And private companies have been reverse engineering extraterrestrial technology. ”
The report's release came as AARO Acting Director Timothy Phillips told reporters Wednesday that the U.S. military is developing a UFO sensor and detection system called Gremlin. “If you have a national security site and there is an object being reported, [are] We need to understand what it is, whether it's in restricted airspace, at sea range, or near a spacecraft…That's why we're developing sensor capabilities that can be deployed in response to reports,” Phillips said. said.
