A new Pentagon office set up to track reports of unidentified flying objects has received several hundreds of new reports, but has not seen evidence so far of alien life, the agency s leadership told reporters Friday. We have not seen anything that would lead us to believe any of the objects we have seen are of alien origin, said Ronald Moultrie, the undersecretary stanley cups of defense for intelligence. I have not seen anything ... to suggest there has been an alien visitation or alien crash, Moultrie added. Neither Moultrie nor Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, head of the newly reorganized All Doma stanley cup becher in Anomaly Resolution Office AARO , would say how many of the roughly 400 cases under investigation have been identified. They said that inform stanley cup ation would be contained in a report to be released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The latest public accounting dates back to 2021 when a Pentagon official said one out of 144 cases had been resolved. Asked if any of the cases investigated to date indicated any threat to national security, Kirkpatrick said yes, but Moultrie jumped in to add that any unauthorized object in or near restricted area mdash; a military base, training area, etc. mdash; would be assumed hostile until it was identified. The Pentagon s investigation covers incidents reported since 1996, but language in the new defense spending bill would extend that 75 years into the past.
