<\/p>\nUFO CHIEF Sean Kirkpatrick is set to step down next month following his warning of concerning activity 'in our backyard.'<\/p>\n
Just weeks before the head of the Pentagon's UFO analysis office is set to retire, it launched a UFO reporting service after admitting to uncovering "some things." <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Kirkpatrick who steps down from the\u00a0All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office in December suggested that confidential information\u00a0may be made public soon.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got a package of a lot of new material that we\u2019ve got ready for release. <\/p>\n
"We\u2019ve uncovered some things that we are having declassified. Not just operational videos, but historical documents,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Kirkpatrick described the information as \u201ceducational material that will help inform the public.\u201d<\/p>\n
It comes as the agency has made an effort to be more transparent in its investigation into\u00a0unidentified anomalous phenomena.<\/p>\n
The UFO Chief explained that the concerning activity of unidentified flying objects is either a foreign power or "aliens."<\/p>\n
\u201cThe best thing that could come out of this job is to prove that there are aliens\u201d \u2014 because the alternative is a much bigger problem," the physicist told Politico.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we don\u2019t prove it\u2019s aliens, then what we\u2019re finding is evidence of other people doing stuff in our backyard. And that\u2019s not good.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n This warning was made more intriguing after he stated that "none" of the UFO reports from the military that he has analyzed with his team "have been positively attributed to foreign activities."<\/p>\n During a hearing in mid-April, Kirkpatrick noted that his office was looking into 650 cases with around half of these needing a second look.<\/p>\n "AARO has found no credible evidence thus far of\u00a0extraterrestrial activity, off-world technology,\u00a0or objects that defy the known laws of physics," Kirkpatrick said.<\/p>\n "In the event sufficient scientific data were ever obtained that a UAP encounter can only be explained by extraterrestrial origin, we are committed to working with our interagency partners at NASA."<\/p>\n The AARO was established in July 2022 as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for reports to be made by military personnel without fear of retaliation.<\/p>\n It came about after David Charles Grusch, a former intelligence officer became a whistleblower with claims that the US has a secret UFO retrieval program.<\/p>\n He claimed that the program is "retrieving\u00a0non-human origin technical vehicles, call it spacecraft if you will, non-human exotic origin vehicles that have either landed or crashed."<\/p>\n Among his bombshell allegations, he said: "There is a sophisticated disinformation campaign targeting the US populist which is extremely unethical and immoral.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/VP-CHLOE_COMP.jpg\")
