Pentagon Official Claims: Alien Technology Is Driving a Secretive Arms Race

Chris Edwards Editor

The November 13 hearings through November 19th, 2024 followed up on the June 2023 Congressional event in which retired Navy Comm. David Fravor and fellow pilot Lt. Comm. Alex Dietrich described how their F/A-18 Hornets spotted and chased a white “Tic-Tac”-shaped UAP for several minutes. According to analysis of radar tracks and grainy infrared video shot by the F/A-18s, the object displayed speeds of more than 45,000 miles per hour and pulled more than 2,000 Gs.

Jon Kosloski, director of the Defense Department’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), testified also at on oversight of his office and government activities related to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) during a Senate Armed Services subcommittee hearing. Several topics were addressed, including national security concerns, whistleblower protections for those that report UAPs, and transparency and information sharing with the public. NOTE: Until December 2022, the Pentagon referred to UAPs as “unidentified aerial phenomena,” and before 2021, UAPs were called “unidentified flying objects,” or UFOs.

“The U.S. military and intelligence community are sitting on a huge amount of visual and other information—still photos, video photos, other sensor information—and they have for a very long time,” said journalist Michael Shellenberger, one of the witnesses at the November 13 hearings. Meanwhile, the public has only ever seen fuzzy photos of some of those incidents.

Shellenberger delivered an 11-page report to Congress during the hearing, detailing claims about Immaculate Constellation; he says a current or former official and UAP whistleblower authored the report.

The November testimony lineup also included one-time Air Force Intelligence officer David Grusch—who claimed during a prior hearings last summer that crashed UAPs had not only been recovered and studied for reverse-engineering, but that “non-human biologics” had also been discovered inside—and Lue Elizondo, who formerly headed the Pentagon’s secretive UFO unit.

“Let me be clear: UAP are real,” Elizondo said in his opening testimony. “Advanced technologies not made by our government—or any other government—are monitoring sensitive military installations around the globe. Furthermore, the U.S. is in possession of UAP technologies, as are some of our adversaries.” Elizondo says it all adds up to a “multidecade, secretive arms race.”

Avi Loeb, Ph.D.—a physicist and professor at Harvard University who heads the Galileo Project, which seeks out alien intelligence or artifacts—acknowledged to Popular Mechanics the possibility of Immaculate Constellation, but highlighted the lack of any real proof. “All we have seen is written text,” Loeb says. “No credible scientific evidence was made public.” Loeb generally questions the usefulness of the ongoing series of congressional hearings, stressing that it is unlikely any meaningful admissions will come from the U.S. government.

“The Galileo Project Observatory at Harvard University released its first commissioning data on half a million objects that it monitored in the sky over five months,” Loeb says. “We also retrieved materials from the crash site of the first interstellar meteor in the Pacific Ocean.”

Loeb promises his team will openly share with the public any data they collect and any discoveries they make.

“This standard scientific practice is far more informative than political maneuvers aimed to disclose classified information from stubborn government agencies,” he says. “A robust answer to Enrico Fermi’s old question of ‘where is everybody?’ will originate from scientists—not from politicians or journalists.”
