Former AARO Chief, Blames the Government for, UFO Conspiracy Theories.
The Byte reports that the former head of the Pentagon's All-domain
Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) says that government
secrecy is responsible for conspiracy theories.
If there is a void in the information
space, it will be filled with the
imagination of the public right and
the conspiracies and these accusations, Sean Kirkpatrick, former head of
the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly
Resolution Office (AARO), via Politico.
In an op-ed written for 'Scientific American,'
Kirkpatrick also accused whistleblowers
of derailing the work of AARO.
Our efforts were ultimately
overwhelmed by sensational
but unsupported claims that
ignored contradictory evidence
yet captured the attention of
policy makers and the public, Sean Kirkpatrick, former head of
the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly
Resolution Office (AARO), via 'Scientific American'.
Kirkpatrick went on to suggest that
the Pentagon should more clearly explain
what AARO does and why it is so important.
According to the former AARO chief, the agency's main
goal is to determine the nature and origin of unidentified
flying objects, as opposed to hunting for aliens.

While speaking to CNN, Kirkpatrick said that
more often than not, the unidentified craft
people are seeing are secretive military vehicles.
Kirkpatrick stressed that transparency
and messaging is key for the public
to stop jumping to conclusions. .
There was a very strong
concern to engage in the
public discourse as often
as I thought we needed to, Sean Kirkpatrick, former head of
the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly
Resolution Office (AARO), via Politico.
The fact that [the Pentagon's
leadership] can’t figure out how
to get at that message without
concern for spillage into other areas
has always been a frustrating point, Sean Kirkpatrick, former head of
the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly
Resolution Office (AARO), via Politico

Former President Donald Trump has been barred from appearing on the Illinois Republican presidential primary ballot by a state judge. Cook County Circuit Judge Tracie Porter made the ruling on Wednesday, citing Trump's role in the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol. The judge sided with Illinois voters who argued that the former president violated the anti-insurrection clause of the US Constitution's 14th Amendment, thus disqualifying him from the state's upcoming primary and general elections.
