UFOs could be sending probes to monitor humans, says Pentagon report

An alien mothership could be in our solar system and sending probes to Earth to monitor us, Pentagon officials have announced.

The US intelligence hub has claimed that smaller probes could be being used in a similar way to how NASA explores other planets. A new report focussing on the restrains of unidentified aerial phenomena noted how a “parent craft” could send down smaller probes to Earth, reports the Daily Star.

Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) director, Sean Kirkpatrick and the chairman of Harvard University’s astronomy department, Abraham Loeb, warned of the possibility of a big ship out as more and more information is slowing being released by the US Government.

Formed in 2022, the AARO’s aim is to track anything unidentified. They wrote: “An artificial interstellar object could potentially be a parent craft that releases many small probes during its close passage to Earth, an operational construct not too dissimilar from NASA missions.

“These ‘dandelion seeds’ could be separated from the parent craft by the tidal gravitational force of the Sun or by a manoeuvring capability.”

In 2005 NASA was asked by the US Congress to find 90% of objects over the size of 140 metres in diameter. This resulted in the Pan-STARRS telescopes being constructed. And experts with this technology made a bizarre discovery of the long, thin, pencil-shaped Oumuamua, an unidentified interstellar object that left no comet trail.

The research report continued: “With proper design, these tiny probes would reach the Earth or other solar system planets for exploration, as the parent craft passes by within a fraction of the Earth-Sun separation — just like ‘Oumuamua’ did.

“Astronomers would not be able to notice the spray of mini probes because they do not reflect enough sunlight for existing survey telescopes to notice them.”

The US government has received over 350 new reports of what the US government terms “unidentified aerial phenomenon,” commonly known as UFOs, since March of 2021 – roughly half of which are so far unexplained, according to a report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released in January.
