Most UFOs are «secret military aircraft» according to ex-Pentagon alien chief

In a revealing interview, the former head of the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, claimed that most UFOs are «secret military aircraft.» Speaking to CNN’s Peter Bergen, Kirkpatrick, who left his post last December, citing frustrations with lawmakers among other complaints, said that “none” of the sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena(UAPs) are “extraterrestrial in nature”.

Instead, the laser and materials physicist confirmed that people were seeing advanced military technology. “There are a lot of observations of real, advanced US programs – but none of that is extraterrestrial in nature. There are a number of advanced technologies that are being commercialized that people don’t recognize,» he said on the In The Room podcast.

“There’s a large number of people, pilots, and others, who you know, have said, ‘Hey, I saw this giant sphere. It had a cube in it, I don’t understand it, it must be an alien.’ Well, actually, no’. The next generation of drones that are being built are spherical drones.

“With eight thrusters in a cube configuration, I can maneuver this drone around very accurately, and they’ve tried these all over the place.»

Conversely, upon his shock retirement from the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office last December, Kirkpatrick said that strange sightings over the skies of the United States were “aliens or technology of rival nations.» He added further context at the time: “If we don’t prove it’s aliens, then what we’re finding is evidence of other people doing stuff in our backyard. And that’s not good.»
