The possibility of the United States government possessing physical debris from recovered Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) is a thrilling prospect for any UAP enthusiast. This has led to disappointment echoing throughout the community in recent weeks following the government’s supposed failure to retrieve any debris at all from the three objects it has confirmed successfully shooting down. Here at UAP News we are taking this opportunity to look back at what we know so far with regards to pre-existing materials that have been acknowledged to already be within the government‘s possession.
In recent years, there have been a number of claims of recovered materials from other UAP crashes that remain unexplained by official channels, and various government and military personnel have made statements that support the idea that such materials are in the possession of the state. In 2019, for example, the New York Times reported that the US military had recovered materials from UAPs and that they were being analyzed by a private contractor. The materials were said to have been recovered from multiple UAP incidents and included metals and other materials with unusual properties that could not be easily explained.
In 2019, researcher Linda Moulton Howe reported on a strange metal alloy that was said to have been recovered from a UFO crash site in 1947. The alloy, which was analysed by several laboratories, was found to have unusual isotopic ratios and properties that could not be explained by any materials known to man. Another example is the so-called "Ubatuba" metal, which was allegedly recovered from a UFO crash site in Brazil in 1957. The metal was analyzed by several scientists, including Dr. Jacques Vallee, and was also found to have unusual isotopic ratios.
The "Kecksburg Acorn," was a bell-shaped object that was seen falling from the sky over Pennsylvania in 1965. The object was recovered by US military personnel and taken to a secure facility, where it was reportedly studied by scientists. While the official explanation for the object is that it was a meteor, many continue to believe that it was a crashed extraterrestrial craft.
Christopher Mellon, a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence who has previously briefed congress on the issue, has suggested that there may be recovered debris that is so deeply buried and hidden that it has been excluded from the normal oversight processes, leading to a lack of information in this area. Harry Reid, a former US Senator and Senate Majority Leader, has also stated that “there were reports — some were substantive… that there were actual [UAP] materials that the government and the private sector had in their possession” and went on to say that in his opinion it is important to release information about the discovery of such physical materials.
One of the most famous historical cases of UFO crash retrieval is of course Roswell. Occurring in New Mexico in 1947, the US military initially claimed that the debris recovered from the crash site was a weather balloon, but later admitted that it was actually a classified project involving high-altitude surveillance balloons (sound familiar?). Despite the official explanation, many people who have delved into eye witness testimony and local media reports surrounding the event continue to believe that the Roswell incident involved a crashed extraterrestrial craft. Christopher Mellon has previously suggested that there is some truth to the stories of Roswell, and former President Donald Trump stated that he found the incident "interesting" but would not confirm or deny veracity of extraterrestrial claims. Statements by military personnel who were involved in the Roswell incident support the idea that something otherworldly was found. Major Jesse Marcel, the Chief Intelligence Officer at the Roswell Army Air Field, described a piece of metal recovered from the site that could not be bent or dented with a sledgehammer, stating that it was "not anything from this earth."
Luis Elizondo, the former Director of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) and head of the Pentagon's UAP program, has been reliably direct in his statements on the subject. When asked by Tucker Carlson if the US government had debris from a UFO, Elizondo answered, "simply put, yes." Elizondo's statement was corroborated by astrophysicist Dr. Eric Davis, a consultant to AATIP, who stated that he could not comment further but that Elizondo's answer was "1,000% accurate." Davis has also given classified briefings to the Senate Armed Services and Intelligence Committees on retrievals from "off-world vehicles not made on this earth." Additionally, during an interview, the Director of US Navy Science and Technology Development Nat Kobitz confirmed that the US had been attempting to develop recovered alien technology.
While the existence of recovered debris from UAPs or UFOs remains a topic of scepticism and debate, the statements of government officials and military personnel suggest that the US government do possess such materials. Despite this, information about these materials and any attempts at reverse engineering or utilising them has been kept highly classified, leaving the public to speculate about their existence and potential implications. As research and investigation into these mysterious objects continues, it is possible that more information about their nature and origins will be uncovered and hopefully shared, providing us with a better understanding of the nature of our universe and our place within it.
