ORNL Synopsis: Analysis of a Metallic Specimen

All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office · 2024-07 · 10 pages · text from the file's own layer

This synopsis from the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, dated July 2024, reports findings on a magnesium-zinc metallic specimen with bismuth layers that is claimed to come from a UAP crash in or around 1947. AARO tasked Oak Ridge National Laboratory with testing the specimen's origin and whether it could act as a terahertz waveguide. ORNL concluded that the material was manufactured on Earth and later damaged by heat and mechanical stress. Its bismuth layers could not have served as a waveguide.

Synopsis: Analysis of a Metallic Specimen7
Figure 7. Lead (Pb) isotope systematics of the unknown material, shown relative to other terrestrial and non-terrestrial
materials in 206Pb/204Pb vs. 207Pb/206Pb. This plot has three end-member compositions: (1) primordial lead, which is the
starting composition of the lead in the solar system; (2) pure radiogenic lead from the decay of naturally occurring uranium;
and (3) terrestrial lead or “common lead,” which is defined by repeat analyses. The specimen has a lead isotopic composition
that plots precisely in the field of terrestrial lead compositions. SRM stands for standard reference material, materials
typically used to perform instrument calibrations due to their well-characterized composition or properties, as measured
and certified by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute for Standards and Technology.
