- I’m not aware of any remains that the department has, or, you know, any signs of extraterrestrial beings or activity or technology, the Pentagon's Deputy Spokeswoman Sabrina Singh stated on Thursday. Her statement was in response to testimony from a former department official, who claimed that the Pentagon is operating a secret programme to recover UFO debris.
During Wednesday's hearing in the House of Representatives, former official Luis Elizondo claimed that the Pentagon has a secret programme concerning UFOs. In response, Singh emphasised that the Department of Defence has no evidence of extraterrestrial technologies.
On Thursday, the Pentagon delivered a report to Parliament regarding unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). The report indicates that out of 757 sightings between May 2023 and June 2024, no evidence was found for the extraterrestrial origin of the objects.
The report suggests that 70 per cent of the mysterious objects are balloons, and 16 per cent are drones. Another 174 cases are close to being resolved, and analysis of the rest is ongoing. The main obstacle to resolving the cases is the lack of sufficient data.
Retired Admiral Tim Gallaudet believes some unexplained phenomena may be signs of extraterrestrial intelligence. However, the Pentagon report does not confirm these suppositions.
The hearing in Parliament was the second of its kind, following David Grusch's testimony last year. Grusch also claimed that the US government possesses extraterrestrial vehicle debris.
