Metro News Story by Katherine Fidler, Pentagon UFO Boss steps down after explosive admission

The head of the Pentagon’s UFO office is retiring, days after admitting there could be some truth in a whistleblower’s shocking claims that the US government is hiding evidence of aliens.

In an interview with Politico, Dr Sean Kirkpatrick said he had decided to step down after achieving his goals, having postponed retirement to take on the role.

Dr Kirkpatrick has been director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) since it was founded by the Biden administration last year, and in the 18 months since its inception the issue of UFOs has generated much public and political interest.

This reached a fever pitch in the summer after former US intelligence officer David Charles Grusch alleged the government had evidence of ‘intact and partially intact’ alien vehicles.

Speaking during a congressional hearing into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), the official name for UFOs, he went further, adding that people had been ‘harmed or injured’ in an effort to cover up the information.

Dr Kirkpatrick said AARO had attempted to contact Mr Grusch about his claims repeatedly, which the whistleblower denied.

However, speaking during an off-camera meeting with the press on Halloween, the AARO director admitted some of the claims could be true.
