For believers and non-believers alike, the Department of Defense answers the question of whether UFOs or aliens have ever visited Earth, and says there is no evidence.
Pentagon spokesman Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said Thursday that topics include the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and the use of B-2 bombers to carry out precision strikes on five Houthi-controlled military facilities in Yemen. answered several questions from reporters. and North Korean soldiers fighting on behalf of Russia in Ukraine. In addition to these stories, the daily news cycle is filled with non-stop election coverage.
Jeff Shogol of Task & Purpose, which provides military news, culture, and analysis from members of the community, took the opportunity to go off topic with Ryder and ask him about one of Earth’s greatest mysteries.
“Given the news cycle, no one cares what you publish about aliens or extraterrestrial life,” Shogol says. “So…I just take pictures. Have you gotten anything from UFOs or aliens or anything?”
“Jeff, the truth is out there. And the truth is there is no evidence that extraterrestrial life has ever visited this planet,” Ryder said.
The spokesperson’s message was the same as that given several months ago on the subject, after coordination of efforts to determine whether UFOs, unidentified anomalous phenomena, UAPs, and aliens have come to Earth.
On July 20, 2022, the Department of Defense (DoD) announced the creation of the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).
AARO’s mission is to “detect, identify, and characterize objects of interest in or around military installations and airspace” that may pose a threat to operational safety or national security. synchronize efforts across U.S. federal departments and agencies. Anomalous unidentified space, aerial objects, underwater objects, and transmedia objects.
And in November, the Department of Defense launched a website to report government activities related to unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), also known as UFOs.
However, after establishing AARO and conducting multiple investigations, the Department of Defense claims there is no evidence that UAPs are from this world.
According to the report, released on March 1, “Total USG investigations to date have not found a single instance of a UAP representing extraterrestrial technology,” and “no evidence of a genuine, sensitive national UAP.” “Security Program” was “mixed up,” he said. UFO program.
“AARO had no evidence for the USG reverse engineering story provided by the interviewee and was able to disprove most of the interviewee’s claims,” the report states, but “AARO has The department’s claims are still being evaluated.”
Other conclusions made in the report include a general public distrust of the government and “perceived bureaucratic barriers,” extreme secrecy related to military programs, and growing interest in UFOs. etc. are included.
In view of the rapidly growing interest in UFOs, a once-taboo subject, like Bob Lazar’s, which virtually destroyed his career after being forced into exile, is becoming more and more popular on its own. had a Super Bowl commercial.
Around the same time as the report was released, Ryder said there was no evidence that any information was “unlawfully or improperly” withheld from Congress.
“What we found is that claims of hidden programs are primarily the result of circulating reports by small groups repeating what they’ve heard from others, and that many believe that U.S. secret programs are hidden on UAPs or on Earth.” “It was a genuine misunderstanding of what actually happened, mistaking it for external exploitation,” he said.
