- The Ministry of Defense states in the report that “most of the sightings were ordinary objects and phenomena and the result of mistaken identification”
- The study also refuted claims that the US government is hiding the reverse engineering of alien technology from Congress
- The study confirmed that many people believe in Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) due to their previous experiences, as well as the influence of the media and the Internet
The Pentagon revealed bad news for those who believe in aliens and UFOs on Friday.
According to the 63-page “Report on the Historical Record of US Government Involvement in Unidentified Anomalies (UAP) – Volume 1,” the Defense Department’s All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) found no evidence that any US government investigation, research or panel audit confirmed that “the UAP represents extraterrestrial technology” – adding that “most of the sightings were ordinary objects and phenomena and the result of mistaken identification.”
The review went on to say that AARO found no evidence surrounding allegations that the government and private companies had “reverse-engineered alien technology.” Claims that certain people, known locations, tests and documents were linked to the technology were characterized as “false”.

AARO also attributed the false claim that the government is hiding the alleged reverse engineering of alien technology from Congress to “circular reporting by a group of individuals who believe this to be the case, despite the lack of any evidence.”
The report said some of the sightings reported since the 1940s were due to “misidentification of never-before-seen experimental and operational space, missile and air systems, including stealth technologies and the proliferation of unmanned aerial vehicle platforms.”

According to the report, AARO reviewed all government investigations of the UAP since 1945, conducted about 30 interviews and examined classified and unclassified documents.
In a statement on the AARO report, Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said Friday: “AARO estimates that all named and described alleged covert UAP reverse engineering programs provided by interviewees or non-existent; are misidentified as genuine national security programs unrelated to the exploitation of alien technology; or decide to cancel the program.”
Claims of UFO sightings took center stage in Congress last year when, during a House Oversight Committee hearing, former US intelligence official David Grusch said that “non-human” beings had been extracted from the spacecraft. In addition to claims that U.S. officials recovered the bodies of those who piloted the UFOs, Grusch told the committee about a secret program in which the Pentagon allegedly collected crashed UAPs.

“I was informed, in the course of my official duties, of a decades-long program to find and reverse engineer UAPs in the event of a crash, to which I was denied access,” Grusch told the panel.
Other things Grusch claimed included talking to people “with direct knowledge of a craft of non-human origin” and having personal knowledge of someone being injured while reverse engineering a UAP. “You have to imagine, assessing the unknown, there are a lot of possibilities that you can’t fully prepare for,” he said when asked to clarify.
In the new report, AARO acknowledged that many people believe in UAPs based on their perceptions of their own and others’ past experiences, as well as what they have come across through the media and the Internet.
“The proliferation of television programs, books, films, and the vast amount of Internet and social media content focused on UAP-related topics has most likely influenced the public conversation on the topic and reinforced these beliefs in some segments of the population,” the study said.

AARO added that the intent of the report was not to disprove any particular belief, but to “use a rigorous analytical and scientific approach” in examining previous government UAP investigations, as well as claims by people who claimed the government and contractors were covering up “extraterrestrial technology and biological material.” .
