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

U.S SHOCKS Russia As Trump Approves $300 Million Weapons To Ukraine | Patriot Missiles | Ukraine War

In a major shift, U.S. President Donald Trump has approved a fresh $300 million military aid package to Ukraine, reportedly including rare Patriot surface-to-air missiles and medium-range rockets. The decision follows a brief and controversial Pentagon pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a known skeptic of increased aid to Kiev. Trump’s move marks the first use of his Presidential Drawdown Authority, allowing emergency arms transfers directly from U.S. stockpiles. While the Pentagon claimed the pause was a limited stockpile review, it had caused concern among European allies and Ukrainian officials. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later clarified that most weapons shipments were never stopped. Trump, who has reopened ceasefire talks with Russia, acknowledged the high cost of Patriot systems but said Ukraine still needs them. The Kremlin has warned the continued weapons flow contradicts peace efforts and further complicates diplomacy. #TrumpUkraineAid #PatriotMissiles #UkraineWeapons #TrumpVsPentagon #KremlinWarning #MarcoRubio #PresidentialDrawdown #UkraineWar #USMilitaryAid #PentagonPause #UkraineCrisis #TrumpRussiaTalks #PutinOnUSAid #UkraineConflict #CeasefireEfforts #NATOTensions #RussiaUkraine #USArmsShipment #HighCostWeapons #UkraineMissileDefense ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.125~

Russia RAGES As Trump RESUMES Weapons To Ukraine After Shocking Pentagon Pause | VIDEO [Video]

Russia RAGES As Trump RESUMES Weapons To Ukraine After Shocking Pentagon Pause | VIDEO

In a dramatic turnaround, the Trump administration has resumed shipping weapons to Ukraine after a brief but controversial pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The move had caught even White House officials off guard and temporarily halted deliveries of key systems including Patriot missiles, GMLRS rockets, and 155 mm Howitzer rounds. Trump claimed no knowledge of the pause, stating he hadn’t given the order. Pentagon officials say the review was part of a broader stockpile assessment. But amid growing pressure from both allies and U.S. lawmakers, shipments resumed quietly—now including precision-guided rockets and artillery shells. Trump cited Russia’s rising brutality and President Putin’s conduct as reasons for restoring deliveries. The weapons—especially the 155 mm rounds—are critical in Ukraine’s defense. With the largest drone attack yet launched by Russia, Trump’s decision underscores the escalating urgency of the war. Over $67 billion in U.S. military aid has been sent since 2022. #TrumpUkraineAid #UkraineWar #WeaponsToUkraine #PentagonPause #PatriotMissiles #GMLRS #TrumpHegseth #UkraineRussiaWar #MilitaryAid #UkraineDefense #TrumpVsPentagon #ArtilleryToUkraine #HowitzerRounds #PutinWarCrimes #WhiteHouseConflict #UkraineCrisis #USUkraineSupport #PrecisionWeapons #AbruptPolicyShift #TrumpReversesPause ~GR.125~HT.408~ED.346~

Trump’s OWN Cabinet IGNORES Him: Defense Sec. Hegseth FREEZES Ukraine Weapons Without Telling Trump [Video]

Trump’s OWN Cabinet IGNORES Him: Defense Sec. Hegseth FREEZES Ukraine Weapons Without Telling Trump

A shocking new report by CNN claims that US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a pause on crucial weapons shipments to Ukraine without informing the White House. When questioned about the decision, President Donald Trump appeared to be unaware, denying responsibility by stating, “I don’t know, why don’t you tell me?” This unilateral action by the Pentagon chief has reportedly set off a major scramble within the administration, highlighting a severe breakdown in communication. The pause comes at a perilous moment for Kyiv, as Russia has intensified its missile attacks across Ukraine. Such a disruption in the supply of munitions could have devastating consequences on the battlefield. The lack of coordination was so profound that key figures like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Keith Kellogg allegedly learned of the aid suspension from press reports, not from the Pentagon or Hegseth himself. Sources cited by CNN suggest that Hegseth's lack of a chief of staff or senior advisers has led to this poor interagency coordination. In an attempt to control the narrative, the Pentagon stated the pause was for an assessment of US stockpiles, while the White House clarified that this review was never intended to halt the flow of aid. Following the backlash, President Trump reportedly ordered the resumption of some arms shipments, including Patriot missiles stationed in Poland. This entire incident raises serious questions about the chain of command, policy clarity, and the stability of US support for Ukraine. #Trump #Ukraine #Hegseth #WhiteHouse #Pentagon #BreakingNews #WorldNews #UkraineWar #OneindiaNews #USAid #USWeapons #Zelensky #UkraineWar #UkraineAid Also Read US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc

U.S’ Flip-Flop Game: U.S Military Aid To Ukraine Under Review As Pentagon Halts Key Shipments [Video]

U.S’ Flip-Flop Game: U.S Military Aid To Ukraine Under Review As Pentagon Halts Key Shipments

The Pentagon has confirmed it is conducting a “capability review” to reassess whether military aid to Ukraine aligns with America’s shifting defense priorities. Chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said the U.S. is taking a hard look at promised weapons deliveries — some of which are now halted — to ensure national interests come first. The move follows the White House’s decision to stop key shipments of air defense ammunition, artillery shells, and missiles previously pledged under the Biden administration. With President Trump’s “America First” policy reshaping foreign aid strategy, the Pentagon appears to be pivoting away from prolonged foreign entanglements. Ukrainian officials have slammed the halt as betrayal, warning it weakens their resistance against Russia’s advances. Meanwhile, analysts say this could signal a major realignment in U.S. global commitments — and a boost for Russian military strategy.

Hegseth Explodes Media Coverage on Iran Strikes: Accuses of Rooting Against Trump, Ignoring Heroism

In a fiery Pentagon briefing, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth lashed out at the media, accusing them of "cheering against Trump" and downplaying the success of Operation Midnight Hammer — a bold series of U.S. airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear sites. Hegseth defended the mission’s results, slammed leaks of low-confidence intelligence reports, and praised the courage of American pilots and defense crews. With tensions high and politics in play, the Secretary warned that biased reporting could overshadow what he called a “historic” blow to Iran’s nuclear ambitions. #Hegseth #IranStrikes #TrumpNews #PentagonBriefing #USAirstrikes #OperationMidnightHammer #MediaBias #PeteHegseth #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #USvsIran #TrumpAdministration #MilitaryNews #DefenseDepartment Also Read Sajindas Devidas Reveals How AI-Driven Nudges Are Quietly Redefining User Behavior :: https://www.oneindia.com/in-the-news/sajindas-devidas-reveals-how-ai-driven-nudges-are-quietly-redefining-user-behavior-4166947.html?ref=DMDesc Power Of Reusability: Creating Configurable Payroll Rules That Scale Across Modules" By Rajagopal Arputham :: https://www.oneindia.com/in-the-news/the-power-of-reusability-creating-configurable-payroll-rules-that-scale-across-modules-by-rajagopal-4164205.html?ref=DMDesc article testing new :: https://www.oneindia.com/temp/article-testing-new-4058241.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~GR.122~
