In the second congressional hearing on UAPs in 50 years, Sean Kirkpatrick<\/a>, the director of the Pentagon\u2019s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office<\/a>, spoke before the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities<\/a> about his office\u2019s investigations of UAPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kirkpatrick made clear to lawmakers that none of the 650-plus incidents under investigation since the AARO\u2019s July 2022 inception were of an alien nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAARO has found no credible evidence thus far of extraterrestrial activity, off-world technology or objects that defy the known laws of physics,\u201d Kirkpatrick told lawmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn the event sufficient scientific data [emerges] that a UAP encountered can only be explained by extraterrestrial origin, we are committed to working with our interagency partners at NASA to appropriately inform [the] government\u2019s leadership of its findings,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
