ORNL Synopsis: Analysis of a Metallic Specimen

All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office · 10 pages · text from the file's own layer

This undated synopsis from the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) reports on Oak Ridge National Laboratory's analysis of a layered magnesium-zinc specimen with bismuth bands. The specimen is claimed to come from a UAP crash around 1947, and some say it can reduce inertial mass. Using microscopy, spectroscopy and isotope analysis, ORNL found that the bismuth could not have acted as a terahertz waveguide. It concluded that the material was manufactured on Earth and later damaged by heat and mechanical stress.
