- According to the US Department of Defense, there is no evidence of alien visits to Earth or efforts to keep information about them secret.
- This emerges from a report that the Pentagon published on Friday.
- It says that many sightings of “unidentified anomalous phenomena” – commonly known as UFOs – are still unexplained. In the vast majority of cases, however, usable data was simply missing.
In addition, resources and personnel at the responsible government agencies are often “irregular and sporadic,” which makes the investigations even more difficult.

Television, books, films and the Internet fueled the debate about extraterrestrials as well as trust in supposedly credible sources, according to the Pentagon. However, it is not about refuting a particular belief, but rather about using scientific methods to achieve empirically reliable results.

Specifically, the report addresses US government investigations of such sightings since 1945 and also refers to findings from secret government archives.
Accordingly, there is no evidence that information about extraterrestrial life was withheld by the US military. Rather, the focus was on “more important concerns,” such as the exploration of Soviet technologies.
The report also states that it is clear that the thought of extraterrestrial life concerns many people.
