The Pentagon’s branch responsible for investigating UFOs recently released a report on the origins of a piece believed to be from an alien aircraft. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) sent the sample to Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 2022 for analysis. After a two-year study, Oak Ridge concluded that the material is likely not of alien origin but rather a common magnesium compound used in experimental aircraft materials in the 20th century.
The AARO stated in a press release that the specimen was thought to be part of a crashed extraterrestrial vehicle from 1947 and was believed to possess extraordinary properties such as antigravity capabilities. However, the analysis conducted by Oak Ridge did not support these claims, revealing that the material was a product of aerospace performance studies using magnesium alloys.
The specimen was provided by the To The Stars Academy, an organization led by Tom DeLonge, known for his interest in UFOs. They claimed that the material had unique properties with layers of magnesium and bismuth, but Oak Ridge’s analysis did not confirm these assertions. The material is believed to be an early test of aerospace alloys from the 20th century, rather than extraterrestrial technology.
While the report does not mention Roswell, New Mexico, where the material is said to have been recovered in 1947, the incident has become a central part of UFO lore. The Roswell crash has been a subject of fascination for UFO enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists, with conflicting accounts of what really happened.
The establishment of the AARO in 2022 by the Pentagon was in response to increasing reports of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) and sightings by U.S. Navy pilots. Despite numerous investigations and reports, no concrete evidence of extraterrestrial visitation has been found. The interest in UFOs has been reignited in recent years with declassified videos and sightings, sparking a renewed effort by the Pentagon to understand these phenomena.
