the astonishingly glib AARO Historical Report (Part I) makes an oblique reference to what it calls the
Nexus of Proponents of the USG UAP Reverse-Engineering Allegation
AARO found no empirical evidence that any UAP investigatory effort since 1945—foreign, domestic, government, private, or academic—has ever uncovered verifiable information regarding the recovery or existence of extraterrestrial beings or crafts. Although AARO continues to conduct interviews, research programs, and pursue investigatory leads, AARO’s work has resulted in disproving the majority of these claims using the verifiable information made within those claims.
AARO researched and interviewed numerous people, programs, and leads. It has determined that modern allegations that the USG is hiding off-world technology and beings largely originate from the same group of individuals who have ties to the cancelled AAWSAP/AATIP program and a private sector organization’s paranormal research efforts. These individuals have worked with each other consistently in various UAP-related efforts.
•Persons 1-5 and Interviewees 1, 3, 9, 12, 13, and 14 have repeatedly voiced theseclaims in various public and private venues, and they have petitioned Congress invarious capacities on UAP issues. They have not provided any empirical evidence oftheir claims to AARO. 120
•Persons 1 and 3 and Interviewees 1, 3, and 12 were involved with the paranormalresearch conducted under AAWSAP/AATIP. 121
•Person 5 and Interviewees 3, 9 and 14 were involved with the alleged crashed UAPmaterials that were provided to the U.S. Army and subsequently to AARO forexamination.122
•Persons 4, 7, and 8 and Interviewees 1, 3, and 13 investigated UAP on their own andwere responsible for successfully expanding the remit of an existing IC program toinclude UAP exploitation language.123
•AARO notes that Persons 1 and 4 never formally sat down with AARO to provide official, signed statements; these individuals have been mentioned by other interviewees frequently as sources of their claims. Person 8 held an informal interview and Interviewee 14 sat for an official interview but has not signed the memo for the record documenting this interview.
the numbers following the bullet text are end notes, and they are all the same: “AARO case files”. no filing designation, no identifying code, you can’t FOIA and say, “that one”.
who is being alluded to in this numerical scheme? and how does AARO claim that these folks are the origin of “crash retrieval stories” when those stories go back at least to Roswell ’90 if not Aztec ’47?
