In March 2024, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) released its Historical Record Report concluding there was no evidence of extraterrestrial technology, alien cover-ups, or reverse-engineering programs within the US government. However, the report was immediately controversial. Its former director, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, had resigned months earlier, citing interference from officials with 'conspiratorial leanings.' Critics noted AARO lacked subpoena power, was housed within the very Pentagon being investigated, and multiple whistleblowers said they were not interviewed. David Grusch stated AARO investigators never contacted him about his classified testimony. The report's credibility remains fiercely debated.
AARO's 2024 historical report found 'no evidence' of alien programs — but its own director quit, calling the investigation compromised
“AARO has not discovered any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently.”

What they said vs. what the evidence shows
“AARO's investigation was compromised from the start. They lacked subpoena power, didn't interview key witnesses, and were investigating themselves. This report is a whitewash.”
