The Pentagon office in charge of investigating UFO reports \u2014 now known officially as unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs \u2014 today provided its most detailed explanation for what it said were false or misconstrued claims of alien visitations over the decades.<\/p>\n
The first volume of a historical record report released by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO, in response to a congressional mandate did include a fresh disclosure: During the 2010s, U.S. government officials considered a proposed program code-named \u201cKona Blue\u201d that would have looked into the possibility that extraterrestrial technology could be reverse-engineered. But the Department of Homeland Security rejected the idea because it lacked merit, the report said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is critical to note that no extraterrestrial craft or bodies were ever collected \u2014 this material was only assumed to exist by Kona Blue advocates and its anticipated contract performers,\u201d according to the report. The same assumptions were made by outside investigators who delved into UAP reports as part of an earlier Pentagon-funded program, AARO said.<\/p>\n
One of the investigators involved in that program \u2014 which was known as the Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Application Program or the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AAWSAP\/AATIP) \u2014 made clear that he\u2019d continue trying to keep the alien angle in the public eye.<\/p>\n
