The truth is not there.
After spending tens of millions of dollars to fund a risky effort to see if little green humans have visited Earth, the U.S. government is boldly going where humans have never gone before. officially admitted that the decades-long mission to go to the United States was a failure.
A shocking Pentagon review released Friday confirms an exclusive Post report last year that the Pentagon was developing a distracted and ultimately pointless obsession with tracking UFOs. Ta.
The Pentagon report examines all U.S. government research efforts on “unidentified anomalous phenomena” (formerly known as UFOs) since 1945 and concludes that neither aliens nor their technology have ever visited Earth. I concluded that no.
The report, conducted by the Department of Defense’s All Area Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) at the request of Congress, examined both classified and unclassified government archives.
Among its conclusions was the revelation that “there is no evidence whatsoever.” [US government] Investigations, academically sponsored studies, or official review boards have confirmed that any sighting of a UAP represents extraterrestrial technology. ”
Regarding documented sightings of flying objects exhibiting unexplained, otherworldly and strange behavior in the skies, which have become more frequent in the age of social media, the report describes them as “ordinary objects.” It was concluded that the incident was a result of a “misidentification.”
These claims were echoed by Pentagon spokesperson Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder in a statement following the report’s release.
“AARO has found no verifiable evidence of claims that the U.S. government and private companies are accessing or reverse engineering extraterrestrial technology,” he wrote.
The Pentagon noted that Americans’ obsession with flying saucers and government conspiracies to cover them up began in the 1950s, and that public knowledge of secret government programs like the Manhattan Project played a role.
But as The Post exclusively reported last year, the Pentagon’s own obsession with finding moonmen began in 2008.
At that time, at the behest of former Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.), the Defense Intelligence Agency created a $22 million program called the Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Applications Program (AAWSAP).
The multi-million dollar contract was signed by Reed’s longtime friend Robert Bigelow and his company Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS).
AAWSAP’s stated purpose was to study and predict future aerospace technology trends.
However, BAASS, a group of ghost hunters and psychics, soon went on a rampage at Utah’s Skinwalker Ranch, using tax dollars to track down UFOs and even ghosts and werewolves.
After learning of the program’s unauthorized paranormal activity, the Department of Defense withdrew funding from the program and shut it down in 2012.
December 2017, New York Times published the now infamous article Although the program is written about, AAWSAP and its paranormal adventures are never mentioned. Instead, it detailed the claims of Pentagon official Lou Elizondo, who said UFOs are real and that the Pentagon doesn’t take them seriously.
Two days after the article was published, Elizondo appeared on CNN and said the show had studied an “unusual” spacecraft that “defies the laws of aerodynamics.”
He ended the interview with the ominous announcement, “We may not be alone.”
Today’s Pentagon report vindicates the Post’s earlier reporting that there were no astronauts on Earth, despite Elizondo’s statement.
The Pentagon report examines all U.S. government research efforts on “unidentified anomalous phenomena” (formerly known as UFOs) since 1945 and concludes that neither aliens nor their technology have ever visited Earth. I concluded that no.
The report also throws cold water on long-standing conspiracy theories alleging a government plot to reverse engineer alien technology recovered on Earth.
“AARO has determined that claims regarding specific persons, known locations, technology testing, and documents allegedly involved in or related to reverse engineering extraterrestrial technology are inaccurate,” the report states unequivocally. .
Elizondo could not be reached for comment.
in a statement Posted in XElizondo called the report “intentionally dishonest, inaccurate and dangerously misleading.”
“I hold the Pentagon leadership and former AARO leadership accountable for their apparent attempts to disparage and embarrass whistleblowers, undermine the truth, and ignore evidence,” the statement read in part. has been done.
