Inside the Pentagon office probing 650 UFO mystery sightings as senators warn of ‘alien capabilities’ & demand the truth
THE Pentagon office investigating hundreds of UFO reports has said that nearly half of the sightings are strange and require further investigation.
The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office has taken the reins after some senators move to take sightings more seriously.

The AARO was founded last July thanks to the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act that allowed servicement to report unidentified aerial phenomena without fear of retaliation.
The office has six primary lines of effort - surveillance, collection, and reporting; system capabilities and design; intelligence operations and analysis; mitigation and defeat; governance; and science and technology, the reports.
Leading the charge is Sean Kirkpatrick, who made the shocking announcement that the office is tracking over 650 cases in a mid-April hearing.
He said around half of the reports were unusual and required a second look.
“AARO has found no credible evidence thus far of extraterrestrial activity, off-world technology, or objects that defy the known laws of physics,” Kirkpatrick said.
“In the event sufficient scientific data were ever obtained that a UAP encounter can only be explained by extraterrestrial origin, we are committed to working with our interagency partners at NASA."
While most sightings have been deemed to be balloons, other reports lead the office to investigate UFOs that they say are anomalous in nature.
These objects will be surveyed by the team until they can gain more information.

"One of the first things that we're doing is assessing all existing sensors and calibrating them best to spot and monitor unidentified objects," Kirkpatrick told .
He said that only around 2 to 5 percent of reported sightings are determined to be "possibly really anomalous."
The office has come to light after whistleblower David Charles Grusch, a former intelligence officer, came forward with bombshell allegations that the US has a secret UFO retrieval program.
Grusch claimed that while he was working as an officer with top-secret clearance for a UAP task force, he was denied access to a crash retrieval program.
“These are retrieving non-human origin technical vehicles, call it spacecraft if you will, non-human exotic origin vehicles that have either landed or crashed,” Grusch said.
Grusch claimed that there were spacecraft from a variety of other species, but he has yet to publicly reveal evidence that backs his claims.
“There is a sophisticated disinformation campaign targeting the US populist which is extremely unethical and immoral,” he said.
“We’re definitely not alone.
“The data points, quite empirically that we’re not alone.”
Florida Senator Marco Rubio, a long-time supporter of taking UFO allegations seriously, has said that multiple high-ranking officials have also come forward with claims of firsthand alien encounters.
"There are people that have come forward to share information with our committee over the last couple of years," he told .
"I want to be very protective of these people. A lot of these people came to us even before protections were in the law for whistleblowers to come forward."

Meanwhile, the Pentagon maintains that it has not received information to substantiate any of these dramatic claims.
The House of Representatives is set to hold a hearing on the whistleblower's claims.
