The Pentagon's UFO Coverup

The podcast episode of "The Journal" investigates the U.S. government's involvement with UFOs and related cover-ups. It explores how the Pentagon, through the All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (ARO), examined alleged alien encounters and sightings, revealing that many were misidentified phenomena like balloons or drones. The investigation uncovered instances where the Air Force intentionally spread disinformation about UFOs to protect secret military programs, such as a hazing ritual called Yankee Blue, and EMP testing around nuclear missile silos. The podcast also investigates the story of metal shards supposedly from the Roswell crash, which were tested by the Army and Lockheed Martin, ultimately revealing they were likely from manufacturing tests during World War II. Despite widespread beliefs and government investigations, the report concludes there is no verifiable evidence of extraterrestrial beings or reverse-engineered alien technology, but rather a history of military disinformation.
