Former head of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) Sean Kirkpatrick continued his bizarre media tour Monday with an interview in Scientific American.
Kirkpatrick was given two missions when he joined AARO: investigate modern sightings of suspected unidentified flying objects/aerial phenomena (UFOs/UAPs), and to go back through the archives and figure out whether the government had any type of hidden alien technology programs, he told “Scientific American’s Science, Quickly,” with Dan Vergano.
Kirkpatrick and his team dug back through the archives until 1945 and waived all former non-disclosure agreements signed by individuals with classified information so they could tell him and his team about their experience. Apparently the historical portion of the investigation focused on discerning fact from fiction in the “classified” programs noted by alleged whistleblowers. Herein lies Kirkpatrick’s fear: some of these whistleblowers did see something classified, but it wasn’t UFOs, so what is he to do?

None of these whistleblowers approached Kirkpatrick with any type of physical evidence for their claims. “Most everyone that came—now, there are some that had firsthand, eyewitness accounts of something, but that’s something that turns out to be something else—but for the whistleblowers in the public eye, all of them did not come in.” Kirkpatrick said.
Most of what these whistleblowers claim to have seen are just other classified operations, which have nothing to do with UFOs, he continued, which makes it incredibly difficult to shed light on the truth and build trust within the general American population.

He also seemed to dig a little at some UFO whistleblowers who would rather talk to the public and media than anyone in a position of authority to investigate these claims. Kirkpatrick saw this as a “red flag” for “viability of anything they have to say.”
But, Kirkpatrick conceded, his team couldn’t quite identify everything. “Now just because we don’t identify it, you shouldn’t leap to ‘it’s an extraterrestrial.’ There are a lot of things that we can’t identify, and that’s part of the problem,” he said.

And even if Kirkpatrick’s former team does identify something from out-of-this-world, they won’t tell us. Your lawmakers, who you think worked so hard to earn UFO disclosure in 2023, don’t give a crap about it, actually. They proved that with their flimsy bill that literally allows the President to classify anything he wants, and protects the Department of Defense from releasing any of their data for decades into the future.
