The Pentagon’s report on unidentified flying objects reports that US government investigations since the end of World War II have found no evidence of extraterrestrial technology and concluded that most sightings are misidentified common objects and phenomena.
The All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) has found no evidence that extraterrestrials have ever visited Earth or made emergency landings here, according to a report released Friday, 8 March.
ARRO was required to issue a report to Congress detailing the governments historical record relating to “unidentified anomalous phenomena” (UAP) since 1945. The first of two volumes of this report was submitted last week.
“AARO found no evidence that any USG investigation, academic-sponsored research, or official review panel has confirmed that any sighting of a UAP represented extraterrestrial technology,” the report’s executive summary said, adding that most “cases could also be identified and resolved as ordinary objects or phenomena.”
There is a persistent belief in popular culture that the government or a secret organisation within it has discovered several “off-world spacecraft and extraterrestrial biological remains” and operates programs to “reverse engineer” the recovered technology, according to the report.
Regardless, the report says the purpose of the investigation is to use “a rigorous analytical and scientific approach to investigate past USG-sponsored UAP investigation efforts.”
“AARO found no empirical evidence for claims that the USG and private companies have been reverse-engineering extraterrestrial technology,” the report said.
The report also adds: “AARO determined, based on all information provided to date, that claims involving specific people, known locations, technological tests, and documents allegedly involved in or related to the reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial technology, are inaccurate.”
The US military has spent decades trying to refute, debunk and discredit UFO and “flying saucer” sightings dating back to the 1940s. Investigations have uncovered hundreds of new reports, but nothing to indicate the presence of intelligent alien life, the Pentagon said.
