This July 2024 report from the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office supplements Oak Ridge National Laboratory's April 2024 analysis of a magnesium alloy specimen. The specimen had been publicly alleged to come from a crashed extraterrestrial vehicle in 1947 and to work as a terahertz waveguide. AARO agrees with ORNL that the specimen's isotopic composition shows it is terrestrial and that it could not function as a waveguide. AARO judges it is probably a test object or manufacturing byproduct from mid-20th century magnesium alloy research.
