Pentagon says no evidence of aliens or covert government UFO programs, but are developing 'Gremlin' system to track UAPs



The Pentagon said there is no evidence of extraterrestrial lifeforms visiting Earth and claimed the U.S. government does not conduct covert operations with recovered UFO spacecraft.

The Pentagon released a 63-page report on Friday titled: "Report on the Historical Record of U.S. Government Involvement with Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP)."

Unidentified anomalous phenomena is a relatively new term for UFOs that includes mysterious objects from the sky, underwater, or in space.

The Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office examined data regarding UAPs from 1945 through October 2023.

"To date, AARO has not discovered any empirical evidence that any sighting of a UAP represented off-world technology or the existence of a classified program that had not been properly reported to Congress," the report read.

"Investigative efforts determined that most sightings were the result of misidentification of ordinary objects and phenomena," the AARO declared. "Although many UAP reports remain unsolved, AARO assesses that if additional, quality data were available, most of these cases also could be identified and resolved as ordinary objects or phenomena."

The Pentagon addressed suspicions that the U.S. government has covert programs attempting to reverse-engineer spacecraft from other worlds.

Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said in a statement, "AARO assesses that all of the named and described alleged hidden UAP reverse-engineering programs provided by interviewees either do not exist; are misidentified authentic national security programs that are not related to extraterrestrial technology exploitation; or resolve to a disestablished program."

Ryder added that the "rigorous analytic and scientific" investigation found no evidence that the "U.S. government and various contractors have recovered and are hiding off-world technology and biological materials."

The AARO plans to publish a second volume of the report later this year that covers information gathered after November 2023, and will include interviews with current and former U.S. government personnel regarding UAPs.

There have been government reports and congressional testimony that hint at the possibility of UFOs existing.

In June 2021, the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence published its preliminary assessment of UAPs that said 143 UAP encounters were unexplainable.

In the same month, the head of NASA said he didn't think we were alone in the universe.

Tennessee Republican Rep. Tim Burchett said he believed UAPs to be "something that is out of our galaxy" and claimed that the government "covered up" Roswell.

Last July, a former intelligence official claimed the government is hiding a top-secret program focused on reverse-engineering a spacecraft from another planet.

The UFO whistleblower is David Grusch – a former national reconnaissance officer representative for the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Task Force, a former member of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and an Air Force veteran.

On Friday, the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office announced that it is developing a portable surveillance system to detect and document UAPs.

Tim Phillips – the acting director of the AARO – told the DefenseScoop website, "We're working with some of the government labs, such as the Department of Energy labs, and we have a great partner with Georgia Tech. And what we’re doing is developing a deployable, configurable sensor suite that we can put in Pelican cases. We’re going to be able to pull it to the field to do a long-term [collection]."

Phillips noted that the new sensors will utilize "hyperspectral surveillance" to attempt to capture UAP encounters, which contain information across a wide range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum.

"If we have a national security site and there are objects being reported that trend within restricted airspace, or within a maritime range, or in the proximity of one of our spaceships, we need to understand what that is," Phillips continued. "And so that’s why we’re developing a sensor capability that we can deploy in reaction to reports."

Did Tucker Carlson actually just admit to believing in aliens?



When Alex Stein asked Tucker Carlson his thoughts on extraterrestrial life, Tucker’s response didn’t disappoint.

“I believe it was Ronald Reagan who said that it would take an existential outside threat in order to bring all the nations together, so I think that they might be using aliens as a psyop to scare us. What is your opinion on aliens?” Stein asked.

“Well the whole topic has certainly been frequently used as a psyop; that's documented,” explained Tucker, referencing Project Blue Book and other similar operations.

“There's absolutely no question. The U.S. government used this story as a distraction and has lied a great deal about it,” he continued. “The question is — at the core, underneath all of that, underneath all the lying — is there something there?”

“Yes, there is, and it's been written about since we have a written record; it's been written about for thousands of years, and so, yes, there is something that is not human flying around. It is an independent intelligence. Is it extraterrestrial? I don’t think that it is ... but whatever it is, it is real.”

Tucker’s evidence comes from personally knowing some of the whistleblowers who have brought forth allegations.

“The U.S. government absolutely does have physical evidence of this (whatever it is), and we know that from 10 separate whistleblowers, a couple of whom I know,” he told Stein.

“The third thing we know is the U.S. government — the Congress specifically, including the Senate Majority Leader, including the new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, and including two different committee chairmen — [is] making extraordinary efforts to prevent the UAP disclosure Act of 2023 from taking effect, from preventing the act from releasing the information to the public. They're trying really, really hard, and that's true, and I know that for a fact,” Tucker assured Stein.

“Of course, there are psyops, and they're going in many different directions. It's hard to know exactly what they are, but the core facts are: this is real; the U.S. government does have physical evidence; and they are still trying to hide it from us.”

While he’s not sure what all this adds up to, he is confident in saying that whatever the truth is, “there's dark stuff at the center of the story.”

Scientists zero in on mysterious signals from heart of Milky Way galaxy over dangers of aliens finding us before we find them



Scientists are zeroing in on the heart of the Milky Way galaxy to determine the origins of mysterious signals. Researchers suspect that the radio signals are not natural pulses from outer space, but could be signals from extraterrestrial life forms. Some experts warn that it is imperative that humans locate any alien civilization before they find us.

Scientists revealed this week that they are ramping up efforts to hunt for aliens in the core of the Milky Way galaxy. Scientists presented their blueprint for attempting to track down radio pulses emanating from the middle of the galaxy in a scientific paper published in The Astronomical Journal.

Steve Croft – the paper's co-author and an Adjunct Senior Astronomer at the SETI Institute – said in a statement, "The Breakthrough Listen Investigation for Periodic Spectral Signals (BLIPSS), led by Akshay Suresh, Cornell doctoral candidate in astronomy, is pioneering a search for periodic signals emanating from the core of our galaxy, the Milky Way. The research aims to detect repetitive patterns, a way to search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) within our cosmic neighborhood."

Croft proclaimed, "Breakthrough Listen captures huge volumes of data, and Akshay’s technique provides a new method to help us search that haystack for needles that could provide tantalizing evidence of advanced extraterrestrial life forms."

Scientists are targeting the heart of the Milky Way because it is believed to be the zone most likely able to sustain life. The area hosts a dense congregation of stars and possibly habitable exoplanets that could be safely located in a Goldilocks zone.

Live Science reported, "What's more, if intelligent aliens at the core of the Milky Way wanted to reach out to the rest of the galaxy, they could send signals sweeping across a wide array of planets, given their privileged position at the center of the galaxy. Using narrow bandwidths and repeated patterns would be a prime way for aliens to reveal themselves, as such a combination is extremely unlikely to occur naturally."

The SETI Institute explained, "The team began by testing their algorithm on known pulsars, successfully detecting the expected periodic emissions. Subsequently, they turned their attention to a dataset of scans of the Galactic Center captured by the Breakthrough Listen instrument on the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) in West Virginia. Unlike pulsars, which emit signals across a broad range of radio frequencies, BLIPSS narrowed its search to repeating signals within a narrower frequency range—covering less than a tenth of the width of an average FM radio station."

The SETI Institute said that decoding the repetitive patterns "could be the key to unlocking the mysteries of extraterrestrial intelligence in our galaxy."

"The signals searched in our work would belong to the category of deliberate 'we are here' type beacons from alien worlds," said Akshay Suresh, according to Reuters. "Aliens may possibly use such beacons for galaxy-wide communications, for which the core of the Milky Way is ideally placed. One may imagine aliens using such transmissions at the speed of light to communicate key events, such as preparations for interstellar migration before the explosive death of a massive star."

The project is part of a $100 million initiative to locate advanced extraterrestrial life.

"In the realm of searching for extraterrestrial intelligence, or SETI, we embark on a journey to detect signals from technologically advanced extraterrestrial civilizations," noted astronomer and study co-author Vishal Gajjar of the SETI Institute and University of California, Berkeley. "However, the nature of these signals remains a mystery, leaving us uncertain about their specific characteristics. Hence, it becomes crucial to explore a diverse array of signals that are unlikely to occur naturally in the cosmic environment."

Suresh highlighted the importance of finding aliens before they find us.

"In my opinion, transmission of 'we are here' type beacons comes with the danger of potentially inviting aliens with unknown intentions to the Earth," Suresh stated. "In my personal opinion, as a relatively young species in the grand cosmic scale, it would be prudent for us to focus on listening and investigating before embarking on deliberate transmissions."

Gajjar added that one single country should not be sending signals into space on behalf of everyone on Earth since it "raises political and ethical considerations."
