Pentagon’s highly anticipated UFO report claims there is NO evidence of alien contact –
- The 63-page unclassified report was said to be released on Friday
- A classified version was also delivered to cleared members of Congress
The Pentagon’s embattled, but official UFO investigations office released it’s Congressionally mandated report on ‘historic’ UFO cases dating back to 1945, Friday.
The report — which came in classified and unclassified formats, and is not yet available to the general public online — claims that the office found ‘no verifiable evidence that any UAP [UFO] sighting has represented extraterrestrial activity.’
But it did reveal at least one proposed top secret project, dubbed ‘Kona Blue,’ reviewed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the 2010s, and pitched as an effort to reverse-engineer hypothetically recovered extraterrestrial spacecraft.
Tim Phillips, acting director of the Pentagon‘s UFO-hunting All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), told reporters that his office’s new report casts doubt on the public testimony of UFO whistleblower and ex-US intel officer David Grusch.
‘AARO has found no verifiable evidence that the US government or private industry has ever had access to extraterrestrial technology,’ Phillips told select reporters in a closed setting that other reporters and UFO researchers criticized for a lack of transparency.

‘It is critical to note that no extraterrestrial craft or bodies were ever collected,’ Phillips noted, regarding the ‘Kona Blue’ plans.
‘This material was only assumed to exist by Kona Blue advocates and its anticipated contract performers.’
This ‘Kona Blue’ proposal, according to Phillips, was rejected by DHS leaders ‘for lacking merit.’ No other-worldly craft, he said, were recovered by the planned effort.
A months-long tease has preceded AARO’s ‘Historical Record Report‘ on UFOs since the retirement of the office’s first-ever director, former CIA laser physicist Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, last December.
Dr. Kirkpatrick appeared on CNN analyst Peter Bergen’s podcast, ‘In the Room,’ late last January, amid major press push, revealing that his office intended to double-down on the Air Force’s evidence-poor explanation for the 1947 Roswell UFO case.
Multiple ex-NASA scientists, as well as former US Air Force personnel, including the Air Force Colonel who authored the Pentagon’s official 1994 Roswell report have cast doubt the ‘spy balloon’ explanation Dr. Kirkpatrick and AARO maintains is correct.
Dr. Kirkpatrick’s appointed successor, Phillips described Friday’s release of AARO’s historical review was described by as the most comprehensive government-wide investigation of US government UFO records, classified and unclassified, ever conducted.
