New US Defense Department Report Found 'No Evidence' of Alien Technology (theguardian.com) 66

Posted by EditorDavid from the truth-is-out-there dept.
An anonymous reader shared this report from the Guardian: The U.S. is not secretly hiding alien technology or extraterrestrial beings from the public, according to a defense department report.

On Friday, the Pentagon 'published the findings of an investigation conducted by the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), a government office established in 2022 to detect and, as necessary, mitigate threats including "anomalous, unidentified space, airborne, submerged and transmedium objects"....

AARO investigators, which were "granted full access to all pertinent sensitive [U.S. government] programs", reviewed all official government investigatory efforts since 1945. Investigators also researched classified and unclassified archives, conducted approximately 30 interviews, and collaborated with intelligence community and defense department officials responsible for controlled and special access program oversight, the report revealed.
NPR writes that "Many of the sightings turned out to be drones, weather balloons, spy planes, satellites, rockets and planets, according to the report..." "AARO has found no evidence that any U.S. government investigation, academic-sponsored research, or official review panel has confirmed that any sighting of a UAP represented extraterrestrial technology," Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said in a statement Friday. All investigative efforts concluded that most sightings were ordinary objects and the result of misidentification, Ryder said... The office plans to publish a second volume of the report later this year that covers findings from interviews and research done between November 2023 and April 2024."
The report finds no evidence of any confirmed alien technology, the Guardian notes: It added that sensors and visual observations are imperfect, the vast majority of cases lack actionable data and such available data is limited or of poor quality. The report also said resources and staffing for such programs have largely been irregular and sporadic and that the vast majority of reports "almost certainly" are the result of misidentification. In addition, the report found "no empirical evidence for claims that the [U.S. government] and private companies have been reverse-engineering extraterrestrial technology"...

The report's public release comes as AARO's acting director, Timothy Phillips, told reporters on Wednesday that the US military is developing a UFO sensor and detection system called Gremlin. "If we have a national security site and there are objects being reported that [are] within restricted airspace or within a maritime range or within the proximity of one of our spaceships, we need to understand what that is ... and so that's why we're developing sensor capability that we can deploy in reaction to reports," Phillips said, CNN reports.

      Vacuum tubes are even more suspicious. I mean, why would anyone pump the air out of a glass cylinder and run electricity through a wire in it?

    • Or , you know, you could just go and read the research by the people who invented them and learn there was absolutely nothing mysterious about its origins. Julius Edgar Lilienfeld, William Shockley, Bardeen and Brattain wrote extensive papers outlining their theories, and the various iterations it took before Lilenfeld finally got the Mosfet transistor to work in the 1920s.

        Of course that is the case, but when you compare em to regular transistors, they look very futuristic.

      They won’t even tell you this in the data sheet, but mosfets don’t even contain any moss at all. What they are made of is dope AF.

      • No, I just don't like an entity, especially a government entity, investigating itself. I'm not really sure what the alternative is, but this isn't it.

      To be fair, that's not what happened.

      They found plenty. The difficulty some people are having is that what they found identified previously unidentified items, and identified them as terrestrial in nature. Just like every other investigation, ever. Just like almost every UFO image, ever. When someone with understanding takes the time and effort to investigate the claims and images, they always have mundane explanations from unintuitive lens effects to unintuitive weather effects to human-made technolo

    I'll believe anything that comes out of the Pentagon on the day they declare Peace On Earth.

    Because:
    The first rule of War is to win the game through the use of deception.
    The second rule of War is that the first rule is a lie and we deny it.

  • I'm tired boss. Real tired.

    Either this is a psyop or one or more of the other things the government is doing to us/telling us is an outright lie.

    Are they trying to get us to kick them out?

  • To all those who 'believe', what are the reasons the government is hiding the 'truth'? I've heard it said that the gov 'feared social collapse' if the truth was revealed. I think the programming in the last 50 years has been such that this no longer holds water. Any other reasons?

      I've heard it said there are pink unicorns, all part of the same government conspiracy.

      A) We feel sorry for the aliens.
      B) We are afraid of the aliens.
      C) We are jealous of their stuff.
      D) They are already in control but nobody knows it.
      E) Some combination of two or more of the above.

    • It's more basic than government motives, it's government capability.

      The idea that a terrestrial government could hide the arrival of beings who have mastered interstellar travel - which we should assume based on the laws of physics is never going to be practical for frivolous things like getting bored on a random Sunday and popping over to another planet to mutilate some cows or some heavy assplay with the local dominant species - is simply not credible.

    • I'm not saying it's aliens, but it's aliens.

      What I mean is, the government is run by aliens, and they don't want us--the common people--to know. Ah, but the truth came out, in the movie The Arrival (the 1996 film of that title, in which we find that NASA is run by the aliens--not the more recent movie).

  • Obviously. Think about it. They'd lose any advantage; they'd tip off our opponents; they'd undermine their own authority; they'd lose the ability to monetize; etc. No, no, showing your hand like that is a dumb move.

  • ...why are they here ?!?
  • How many programs must there be? Itâ(TM)s an obscenity. If people canâ(TM)t recognize the multitude of âoeinitiativesâ and âoeprogramsâ implemented for this type of crap⦠Just another way of stealing money from us. If the testimonies of people from all walks of life and all security privileges are just going to be chalked up as the testimonies of the mentally ill, not only is our government robbing us blind, but gaslighting millions of people.

  • Of course they "found no evidence". Big surprise. Everybody knows the DOD has already been taken over by the aliens.

  • They proved at the National Press club 30 years ago that there are artificial structures on the moon! :-)

  • ... transparency to We the People is our number one priority and, though we have all but eliminated alien bullshit, we will create a new police force that will protect our assets from aliens as an extra layer of reassurance.

    Any information collected by these alien detectors will be shared with police, armed forces, and targeted advertising agents. We the People will bear all costs.

  • We need to stop concentrating on whether something was a UFO or a test plane.

    What we need to concentrate on is the government knowing it was a test plane and then denying it. All the while people who thought they saw something else were incarcerated in jail or mental institutions. Yes, this happened A LOT in certain places especially during the 1940-60s.

    That's very much a criminal act on the part of the government. Were reparations ever made to these people or their families?

  • Here we see yet another reason why lying for convenience in the short run causes larger problems in the long run. Now, nobody will ever believe that we were never visited by aliens. Fucking morons. Be honest, even when it is difficult. It makes later life so much more pleasant.

    And this demonstrates why in 200 years, the Holocaust will be thought of to be a myth that was made up. Because lies flow so easily out of our mouths today. The corruption has reached intolerable levels. What the fuck people?
