The Pentagon on Thursday said there is no verifiable evidence of extraterrestrial life, activity or technology, even though a former Pentagon official told Congress on Wednesday that evidence exists that “we are not alone in the universe.” It was announced that no evidence had been found.
Defense Department Deputy Spokesperson Sabrina Singh said at a press conference that the Department of Defense has submitted its 2024 annual report to Congress on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), also known as UFOs, and the All Area Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). indicated that it had received the report. Since the division was established in July 2022, more than 1,600 UAP reports have been generated.
In the past year, AARO has received 757 of 1,600 reports, and the office has solved hundreds of cases, identifying UAPs as objects such as balloons, birds, drones, satellites, and aircraft. I have identified it.
Singh also noted that more than 900 of the reports lacked sufficient data for analysis, but these cases remain in active archives and additional information may come to light to support the analysis. He said it could be re-released if it were.

“We would like to emphasize that only a small percentage of reports to AARO are potentially anomalous, but these are cases that require significant time, resources and focus. ,” said Singh. “It is also important to emphasize that, to date, the Department has found no verifiable evidence of extraterrestrial life, activity, or technology. There is no evidence of any groundbreaking technology.
Jennifer Griffin, Fox News' chief national security correspondent, told Singh that the agency is storing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAPs) and evidence of life from other locations, including alien remains. He asked them to explain the charges in detail.
“I have no knowledge of any remains left behind by the department or any evidence of extraterrestrial life, activity or technology,” Singh said.

Singh reiterated that the department has found no confirmed evidence of extraterrestrial life, activity or technology.
Luis Elizondo, former head of the Department of Defense's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), was tasked with investigating UAPs. On Wednesday, he and other witnesses testified before the House Oversight Committee.
“Excessive secrecy has led to grave misdeeds against loyal civil servants, military personnel, and citizens, all to hide the fact that we are not alone in the universe,” Elizondo said, later calling the group a “cabal group.” he said. “A small number of senior government officials involved in the UAP issue created a culture of repression and intimidation that I, along with many former colleagues, have been the victim of.”

He called on Congress to enact legislation to protect whistleblowers who are afraid to come forward about government activities.
Still, the hearing was part of a larger effort by lawmakers to investigate UAP and determine whether some in the administration were illegally withholding evidence from Congress.
Dr. Tim Gallaudet, a retired U.S. Navy rear admiral, also testified at Wednesday's hearing. He detailed an incident in which the crew of the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt encountered a UAP during a military exercise.
“During this exercise, I received an email on the Navy’s secure network from an operations officer at Fleet Command. The email was addressed to all subordinate commanders and the subject line was written in all caps. The email was short but alarming: “If anyone knows what this is, please let me know as soon as possible. We have multiple near-air collisions. If this problem is not resolved immediately, we will resolve it.” We have to cancel the exercise,” Gallaudet said.

“Attached to the email is what is now known as the 'Go Fast' video, taken with a forward-facing infrared sensor aboard one of the Navy F/A-18 aircraft participating in the exercise,” he said. “It was done,” he added.
“The next day, the email disappeared from my account and the other recipients' accounts without explanation. Additionally, the fleet commander and his operations officer never discussed the incident again.”
