Ministry of National Defense "Reviewing Programs Related to the 2010s"
Some Interest Sparked but Lacked Feasibility... Not Officialized
The U.S. government once considered a plan to recover and reverse-engineer an alien spacecraft that crashed on Earth. However, it is known that the plan did not become an official program due to a lack of feasibility.
Local media reported on the 8th (local time) that the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) reached this conclusion after reviewing government records of anomalies since 1945.
Previously, Christopher Mellon, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, wrote in an article last year that “there have been persistent rumors that the U.S. government recovered debris from crashed Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP?the U.S. government term for UFOs), and that the government is secretly conducting reverse-engineering projects on it,” adding, “If the government has UFO crash debris, it is time to disclose it now.”
The Department of Defense stated in a press release, “To date, no verifiable evidence has been found that the U.S. government or private companies have accessed or reverse-engineered alien technology,” and “AARO has also found no evidence that UAPs are related to alien technology.”
However, AARO noted in its report that during the investigation, the Department of Homeland Security had reviewed a program called ‘Kona Blue’ in the 2010s.
According to the report, the goal of Kona Blue was “to resume research on UAPs and the supernatural and to reverse-engineer recovered alien spacecraft.” Initially, it attracted some interest within the Department of Homeland Security, but it did not become an official research program due to a lack of feasibility.
Regarding this, AARO reported in the document that after testing samples of “presumed alien crash incidents” obtained from civilian UAP investigation organizations and the Army, the materials were found to be alloys containing magnesium, zinc, lead, and other elements found on Earth. The report explained that the alloy “had no alien technology or other unusual characteristics.”
The report emphasized, “It is important to note that no alien spacecraft or alien bodies have ever been collected,” and drew a line by stating, “Those who assume such things exist are only the advocates of the Kona Blue program.”
Acting Director of AARO, Tim Phillips, said, “The so-called rumors of hidden UAPs by the U.S. government are the result of a few individuals repeating inaccurate claims they heard from others over decades,” adding, “AARO believes that such programs do not exist or are misinterpretations of national security programs unrelated to alien technology.”
