Military makes portable UFO detection kits dubbed ‘Gremlin’ to track down aliens

The US military is making portable UFO detection kits to get better info on close encounters.

The new kits, consisting of an array of sensors that fit inside a protective case, are currently being tested at a range in Texas. The system is dubbed Gremlin and it’s development is being led by Timothy Phillips at the Pentagon.

He said: “If there are objects within restricted airspace, maritime range or within the proximity of one of our spaceships, we need to understand what that is. That’s why we’re developing sensor capability that we can deploy in reaction to reports.”

Meanwhile, in other UFO news, boffins mistook the noise of a truck for a space invader, researchers believe.

A burst of sound waves detected in 2014 thought to have come from a meteor plunging to Earth near Papua New Guinea may have been emitted by a lorry driving nearby.

Planetary seismologist Benjamin Fernando, of Johns Hopkins University in the US, said: “The signal changed directions over time, exactly matching a road that runs past the seismometer.

“Signals like this have all the characteristics we’d expect from a truck and none of the characteristics we’d expect from a meteor.»

The meteor was thought to have entered the atmosphere over the western Pacific according to ground vibration data recorded at a seismic station on Papua New Guinea’s Manus Island.

But Fernando claimed the meteor actually struck at a different location 100 miles away.

Fragments recovered from the ocean last year (2023) at the original spot – which experts said contained `alien‘ elements not seen in the Solar System – were probably from smaller meteorites from previous impacts, the seismologist said.

«The fireball location was actually very far away from where the oceanographic expedition went to retrieve these meteor fragments,» Fernando said.

«Not only did they use the wrong signal they were looking in the wrong place.

«Whatever was found on the sea floor is unrelated to this meteor, regardless of whether it was a natural space rock or a piece of alien spacecraft – even though we strongly suspect it wasn’t aliens.»
