AARO Historical Record Report Volume 1

Allegation that a Former U.S. military Service Member Touched an Extraterrestrial
Spacecraft
An interviewee105 stated that a former military member, who was also an interviewee,
had stated that he had touched an off-world aircraft. AARO contacted and interviewed the
former military member106 who denied any knowledge of off-world technology in possession of
the USG, a private contractor, or any other foreign or domestic entity. The former military
member attested that he could not remember if this encounter with the original interviewee had
ever occurred, but opined that if it had happened, the only situation that he might have conveyed
was the time when he touched an F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter at a facility. The former
military member signed an MFR attesting to the truthfulness of his account.
The UAP with Peculiar Characteristics Refers to an Authentic, Non-UAP-Related SAP
AARO was able to correlate this account with an authentic USG program because the
interviewee was able to provide a relatively precise time and location of the sighting which they
observed exhibiting strange characteristics. At the time the interviewee said he observed the
event, DoD was conducting tests of a platform protected by a SAP. The seemingly strange
characteristics reported by the interviewee match closely with the platform’s characteristics,
which was being tested at a military facility in the time frame the interviewee was there. This
program is not related in any way to the exploitation of off-world technology.
Extraterrestrial Disclosure Study Confirmed; Not White House-Sponsored
An organization107 in Northern Virginia did conduct a study between 2004 and 2007 on
the societal effects should the United States or other world governments disclose they have
evidence of extraterrestrial life. Interviewees believed the White House sponsored it. AARO
confirmed through two former White House senior officials108 that the White House did not
request it, nor were they aware of any such study.
Aerospace Companies Denied Involvement in Recovering Extraterrestrial Craft
AARO met with high-ranking officials, including executives and chief technology
officers, of the named companies. All denied the existence of these programs, and attested to the
truthfulness of their statements on the record.
Sample of Alleged Alien Spacecraft is an Ordinary, Terrestrial, Metal Alloy
AARO learned through an interviewee that a private sector organization109 claimed to
have in its possession material from an extraterrestrial craft recovered from a crash at an
unknown location from the 1940s or 1950s. The organization claimed that the material had the
potential to act as a THz frequency waveguide, and therefore, could exhibit “anti-gravity” and
“mass reduction” properties under the appropriate conditions. The organization that owned the
material negotiated an agreement in 2019 with the U.S. Army to analyze the samples. With
permission from the stakeholders, AARO acquired this sample to conduct more in-depth
analyses.
