Pentagon Developing Portable UFO Detection Kit Called Gremlin

The Pentagon building is seen in Arlington, Virginia, U.S.

In a recent report, the Pentagon announced that the U.S. military has not discovered any evidence of alien life or technology, despite the surge in reports of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), previously known as unidentified flying objects (UFOs). To enhance data collection and response capabilities, the military is developing a portable UAP detection kit named Gremlin.

The Gremlin sensor kits are designed to enable rapid response to reported UAP sightings and gather comprehensive data. Timothy Phillips, the acting director of the Pentagon's All Domain Anomaly Office, described the Gremlin kits as deployable sensor suites that utilize hyperspectral surveillance to capture incidents across the electromagnetic spectrum.

Unlike conventional aircraft that emit noticeable heat signatures, some UAPs do not, making their identification challenging. The Gremlin sensors aim to address this by collecting a wide range of data, including x-rays, ultraviolet rays, microwave, and radio waves.

The Pentagon is currently testing the Gremlin kits at a facility in Texas and plans to deploy them at critical national security sites such as military bases and Navy ships, where numerous UAP sightings have been reported.

The Pentagon's briefing highlighted the release of a report mandated by Congress, which concluded that no U.S. government investigation or research has confirmed UAP sightings as extraterrestrial technology. While most sightings were attributed to ordinary objects or misidentifications, the report did not explain instances where UAPs were observed by military pilots exhibiting physics-defying behavior.

The development of the Gremlin sensor kits signifies the military's commitment to enhancing data collection and analysis to gain a better understanding of UAP phenomena and potentially provide answers to longstanding questions surrounding these mysterious sightings.
