Major General Pat Ryder gave a firm and ‘truthful’ answer to whether the US Government has encountered aliens<\/h2>\n

It is the question we have all been waiting for… has an extraterrestrial being ever walked on Earth?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If one organization knows the answer to that it would be the\u00a0US<\/a> Government, and the verdict is finally in.<\/p>\n

On Thursday (October 17), a press conference was held at the Pentagon and Major General Pat Ryder was on hand to answer questions about some tough topics.<\/p>\n

Some of these were the fact that\u00a0North Korean<\/a>\u00a0soldiers are now fighting on behalf of\u00a0Russia<\/a>\u00a0in Ukraine, Hamas’ leader Yahya Sinwar died earlier this month and artillery strikes from the American stealth bomber B-2 on five\u00a0military<\/a>\u00a0sites controlled by Houthi forces in Yemen.<\/p>\n

Of course, there were more subjects but they lead the daily news agenda.<\/p>\n

Journalist Jeff Schogol of Task & Purpose, a military news outlet, took a shot in the dark and decided quite sneakily that he would use this opportunity to ask in a roundabout way whether\u00a0aliens<\/a>\u00a0had ever visited\u00a0Earth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He said: “Given the news cycle, you could announce anything about aliens or extraterrestrial life, and no one would care.<\/p>\n

“So\u2026 I\u2019m just going to take the shot. What do you got on\u00a0UFOs<\/a>, aliens, etc.?\u201d<\/p>\n

Hilariously, Ryder gave a nod to the epic sci-fi series\u00a0The X-Files<\/em>\u00a0through its tagline ‘the truth is out there’, which opens every episode, before schooling Schogol.<\/p>\n

He said: “The truth is out there, Jeff, and the truth is, we have no evidence to indicate extraterrestrial life has visited the planet.”<\/p>\n

So the ‘truth’ is that the\u00a0US Government<\/a>, the authority behind the infamous Area 51 which is regularly rumored to know a great deal about the unidentified flying objects, has never encountered alien life on Earth.<\/p>\n

The official name of\u00a0Area 51<\/a>\u00a0is in fact the Nevada Test and Training Range, and it is now used as a training range for the US Air Force.<\/p>\n

I digress.<\/p>\n

So, what does Ryder mean when he explained that the truth is actually already out there?<\/p>\n

A popular conspiracy theory is that a flying saucer crash landed in New Mexico baxck in 1947 and its remains were taken to Area 51 so that officials could reverse engineer the spacecraft (Getty stock)<\/cite><\/div>\n

In 2022, the Department of Defense established the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), created to look into the age-old question of whether aliens had visited Earth.<\/p>\n

Following the conclusion of the investigation, a report read: “The aggregate findings of all USG [US Government] investigations to date have not found even one case of UAP [unidentified anomalous phenomena aka UFO] representing off-world technology.”<\/p>\n

It added that ‘authentic sensitive national security programs’ were ‘mistaken’ for UFO programs.<\/p>\n

It continued: \u201cAARO has no evidence for the USG reverse-engineering narrative provided by interviewees and has been able to disprove the majority of the interviewees\u2019 claims.”<\/p>\n

So there you have it, the answer is a firm no… for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
