In a recent statement from the US Department of Defense (DoD), it was revealed that the United States currently lacks the capability to defend itself against a potential alien invasion. This admission is based on an evaluation of the nation’s readiness to address threats from unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), previously known as UFOs.
The DoD had previously established the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in July 2022 specifically to manage UAP-related matters. However, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) has now raised concerns about America’s preparedness to combat an alien invasion threat.
These concerns were highlighted in a summary of the classified report titled ‘Evaluation of the DoD’s Actions Regarding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena,’ which was initially released in August.
The OIG’s statement indicated that the DoD’s current approach to UAP is fragmented and uncoordinated, posing a potential risk to military forces and national security. “The DoD does not have a comprehensive, coordinated approach to address UAP,” the statement further elaborated.
Inspector General Robert P. Storch made this summary public in an effort to shed light on the subject, which is often shrouded in secrecy. “We are releasing this unclassified summary to be as transparent as possible with the American people about our oversight work on this important issue,” Storch stated.
Additionally, the OIG has made 11 recommendations to the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security. These recommendations include the development of a policy to integrate roles, responsibilities, requirements, and coordination procedures concerning UAP into the existing framework of intelligence, counterintelligence, and force protection policies and procedures.
The formulation of this policy is expected to involve collaboration with the Director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, the Secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
