Congressional hearings and discussions with NASA officials were part of the study.

The Pentagon said it found no evidence of UFOs or aliens in its 63-page Historical Record of U.S. Government Involvement in Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). In addition to noting that “most sightings are the result of common objects and phenomena and misidentifications,” the Department of Defense’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) has not found any U.S. government investigation, research, or review group to verify that “UAPs represent extraterrestrial technology.” .” They said there was “no evidence” the government had encountered extraterrestrial life, according to the Report. British Broadcasting Corporation.

Pentagon officials acknowledged that their findings would not dispel public perceptions of alien visits. “The proliferation of television shows, books, movies, and extensive Internet and social media content centered on UAP-related topics has likely influenced the public conversation about this topic and reinforced these beliefs among certain groups of people,” the report said.

The report is part of a broad public investigation by the U.S. government into unidentified flying objects (UFOs), or “unidentified anomalies.” Congressional hearings and public discussions with NASA officials were part of the study.

Researchers say there is a “particularly persistent theory” that the government secretly conducted alien research while recovering spacecraft and alien bodies. AARO further linked “recurring reports from a group of individuals who believe this is the case, despite the lack of any evidence,” to a false allegation that the government has refused to advance claims of reverse-engineering alien technology to Congress.

According to the report, “misidentification of unprecedented experimental and operational space, rocket and air systems, including the proliferation of stealth technologies and drone platforms” is believed to have contributed to a number of UFO sightings since the incident factor. 1940s. The investigation said AARO interviewed approximately 30 people, reviewed secret and unclassified records, and reviewed all government UAP investigations since 1945.

Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said: “AARO assesses that all named and described so-called hidden UAP reverse engineering projects provided by the respondents either do not exist or have been mistaken for real projects unrelated to the development of extraterrestrial technology. National security program; or determination to dismantle a program.”

Former intelligence official David Grusch told a congressional committee in 2023 that he believed the U.S. government possessed alien corpses and spacecraft. According to Mr. Grusch, his claims are based on records, documents and discussions with colleagues.

The group added that they do not want to attempt to refute any convictions, but instead want to “use rigorous analytical and scientific methods” to review past UAP investigations conducted by the government and allegations by individuals who claim the government and contractors concealed facts. Extraterrestrial technology and biological materials. “
