The Pentagon, which firmly rejected the allegations that the US government covered up evidence of aliens and UFOs, declared various claims invalid after a comprehensive new review. Let’s take a look at the details together.

Pentagon denies 9 interesting UFO claims

The belief that the U.S. government, or a secret program within it, is collecting alien bodies and spaceships while trying to conceal the effort from Congress has been a popular conspiracy theory since the 1940s.

Most people associate this conspiracy theory with strange UFO (unidentified flying objects) sightings that cannot be easily explained by nature, aircraft or other available technologies. Over the last few years, the US Department of Defense has adopted a new term to distance the subject away from what has been stigmatized as UFOs. Unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).

At the urging of Congress, the Pentagon released a report on March 8. At the same time, NASA was tasked with examining unclassified materials in its own review.

The military study, conducted by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, searched 80 years of reports, classified and unclassified records on US government offices and special access programs. The records include the findings of interviews with about 30 current and former government employees who were involved in or heard stories about these activities.

Here are 9 interesting claims the Pentagon debunked as myths in the new 63-page report:

1) NDAs were signed to keep information secret.

Pentagon investigators said they found no evidence of NDAs or death threats associated with potential UAP information leaks.

2) CIA official directed UAP experiments.

The whistleblowers interviewed accused a former CIA official of transporting extraterrestrial technology. This former official signed a memo stating that he did not oversee the transportation of extraterrestrial materials or any experiments on extraterrestrial technology.

3) Aliens observed a technology test.

One of the interviewees claimed to have overheard a conversation over electronic communications between two military bases about a technology test observed by aliens. Investigators analyzed the account and concluded that the person had misunderstood the conversation.

4) A military officer touched an alien craft.

An interviewee gave the name of a former military officer who claimed to have touched an extraterrestrial spacecraft in 1999. The former officer denied this on-the-record claim, saying that the interviewee may have been confused about a story about the F-117 Nighthawk, a retired Lockheed stealth fighter jet. The former officer also said he did not recall having such a conversation with the interviewee.

5) Testing of alien technology has taken place.

An interviewee said he witnessed the testing of extraterrestrial technology at a government facility. Investigators said the interviewee almost certainly saw a real technology test, but the demonstration had nothing to do with the UAP.

6) The White House considered making alien information public.

Two interviewees claimed that between 2004 and 2007, during President George W. Bush’s administration, the White House hired a research institute in Northern Virginia to study the possible effects of the United States, Russia or China announcing that they possessed extraterrestrial evidence. Investigators confirmed that the study was indeed conducted for one day, but that the White House made no such request.

7) Experiments were conducted on a spacecraft sample.

Investigators received material from a private organization investigating the UAP and the US military, allegedly from a crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft. They found that the sample was a man-made alloy of magnesium, zinc and bismuth, with traces of other elements such as lead. “There is nothing extraordinary about it,” they said.

8) A program called ‘Kona Blue’ contained UAP information.

Interviewees who believed that the government was hiding information named a program in the US Department of the Interior, codenamed Kona Blue, which they believed was related to the UAP. According to the report, this former DIA program (Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Implementation Program) was eliminated in 2012 for lack of merit. Supporters of the original program proposed Kona Blue to the Department of the Interior, but it was never approved. In short, Kona Blue never existed.

9) One program was reverse engineering alien technology.

Potential UAP operations were conducted in 2021 under a secret intelligence community program. However, according to the report, this program neither recovered potential material to be studied nor reverse engineered it.
