In a groundbreaking revelation, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, the former investigator for the Pentagon's UFO program, has announced the existence of a government-led initiative dedicated to recovering unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), commonly known as UFOs. This disclosure was made during an interview with podcast host John Michael Godier, where Kirkpatrick detailed the protocols in place for recovering UAPs, particularly in instances of potential "shoot downs."

Establishing Protocols for UAP Recovery

As the former head of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) and an experienced CIA scientist, Kirkpatrick’s insights mark the first public acknowledgment by the U.S. government of a structured recovery protocol for UAPs. The newly established retrieval program encompasses a range of objects, from balloons and drones to speculated alien technology. This initiative has generated significant interest, especially as both NASA and Pentagon officials are beginning to treat UAPs as credible scientific mysteries rather than mere anecdotal phenomena.

Details from the Retrieval Program

Documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) reveal that AARO's UAP retrieval program was initiated in early 2023, with a primary emphasis on "response, recovery, and material transfer" of UAP materials. Meetings held in January and February of that year focused on the significance of clear procedures and establishing dedicated collection points for any materials recovered. The protocols aim to standardize responses to UAP sightings across various military branches, including the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), which recently reported over 600 unexplained drone incursions.

A New Era in UAP Investigations

While the United States has historically maintained crash retrieval programs targeting foreign technology, particularly from nations like Russia and China, the new UAP initiative adds a crucial layer by specifically addressing unidentified aerial phenomena. Dr. Kirkpatrick noted that while existing Foreign Material Collection and Analysis programs serve similar purposes, AARO's UAP-specific initiative seeks to formalize these processes and enhance national security responses.

As the frequency of mysterious drone swarms reported by U.S. military sites increases, concerns over security have heightened. General Glen VanHerck of Space Command has reiterated the importance of investigating unidentified objects within U.S. airspace, reflecting a significant shift in the approach to UAP sightings.

With this formal acknowledgment by the Pentagon, the initiative underscores the increasing seriousness with which national security agencies are treating UAP sightings and retrieval efforts.
