Just weeks before the head of the Pentagon’s UFO analysis office is set to retire, it launched a UFO reporting service after admitting to uncovering “some things.”
Kirkpatrick who steps down from the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office in December suggested that confidential information may be made public soon.
“We’ve got a package of a lot of new material that we’ve got ready for release.
“We’ve uncovered some things that we are having declassified. Not just operational videos, but historical documents,” he said.
Kirkpatrick described the information as “educational material that will help inform the public.”
It comes as the agency has made an effort to be more transparent in its investigation into unidentified anomalous phenomena.
The UFO Chief explained that the concerning activity of unidentified flying objects is either a foreign power or “aliens.”
“The best thing that could come out of this job is to prove that there are aliens” — because the alternative is a much bigger problem,” the physicist told Politico.
“If we don’t prove it’s aliens, then what we’re finding is evidence of other people doing stuff in our backyard. And that’s not good.”
This warning was made more intriguing after he stated that “none” of the UFO reports from the military that he has analyzed with his team “have been positively attributed to foreign activities.”
During a hearing in mid-April, Kirkpatrick noted that his office was looking into 650 cases with around half of these needing a second look.
“AARO has found no credible evidence thus far of extraterrestrial activity, off-world technology, or objects that defy the known laws of physics,” Kirkpatrick said.
“In the event sufficient scientific data were ever obtained that a UAP encounter can only be explained by extraterrestrial origin, we are committed to working with our interagency partners at NASA.”
The AARO was established in July 2022 as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for reports to be made by military personnel without fear of retaliation.
It came about after David Charles Grusch, a former intelligence officer became a whistleblower with claims that the US has a secret UFO retrieval program.
He claimed that the program is “retrieving non-human origin technical vehicles, call it spacecraft if you will, non-human exotic origin vehicles that have either landed or crashed.”
Among his bombshell allegations, he said: “There is a sophisticated disinformation campaign targeting the US populist which is extremely unethical and immoral.
“We’re definitely not alone.
“The data points, quite empirically that we’re not alone.”
