It's never aliens. At least, it hasn't been yet. The United States Senate Armed Services Subcommitte on Emerging Threats and Capabilities heard testimony on Tuesday (Nov. 19) from Jon T. Kosloski, the new director of the Pentagon's All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). In his new annual report, Kosloski revealed that AARO has found 'no empirical evidence' for alien technology.

That stands in stark contrast to testimony presented to U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee, in which U.S. Navy rear admiral Tim Galludet and former U.S. counterintelligence officer Lue Elizondo told lawmakers that the American government is part of a decades long coverup to conceal the fact that "we are not alone in the cosmos."
