The Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) shares fascinating footage during Senate Subcommittee Hearing.
Mysterious orb-shaped UFO captured on video released by Pentagon
At a fascinating Senate Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities hearing held on April 19, Dr. Sean M. Kirkpatrick, Director of the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), revealed a captivating video of a sphere-shaped UFO.
Current AARO Investigations
Kirkpatrick’s presentation during the public portion of the hearing, which lasted just over an hour, provided intriguing insights into the activities of the Pentagon’s newly established UFO office. The AARO is currently investigating about 650 cases, gathering data on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), such as the most common altitude, shape and speed detected.
Declassified UFO footage
To demonstrate both explained and unexplained cases, Kirkpatrick presented a declassified video taken by an MQ9 Reaper drone, in which a metallic orb-like object was moving rapidly with no visible method of propulsion. This UAP remains unidentified. In contrast, he presented a video from South Asia in which an object could be identified as an airplane.
Government data disclosure and resource concerns
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), the panel chair, addressed the initial batch of government data released after pressure from the late Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.). Regarding some of the aerial events revealed, Gillibrand lamented the slow and insufficient response due to the UFO stigma. She also criticized AARO’s lack of resources and the Pentagon’s apparent disregard for the office’s leadership role, particularly in the Chinese spy balloon incident.
Prioritizing National Security
Kirkpatrick acknowledged the need to analyze historical records of events from the past to the present, prioritizing those with defense information crucial to national security. He acknowledged that answering decades of UAP-related questions would not be possible all at once, but a starting point is necessary.
Identifying the mundane and addressing emerging threats
In his testimony, Kirkpatrick stated that most of the unidentified objects reported to AARO exhibit mundane characteristics, such as balloons, unmanned aerial systems, or natural phenomena. He noted that humans are susceptible to deception and illusion, while sensors can experience unexpected responses, failures, or even intentional interference. When asked about advanced technologies that China and Russia may be using, he mentioned “emerging capabilities” without attributing any specific unexplained sightings to Chinese technology.
