Pentagon, NASA Have No Idea What Those Weird Flying Metallic Orbs Are | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Some are kind of small, three feet at most. Others are more than four times larger, as big as a car.

    They are round, white, or silver, appear metallic, and flash through the air everywhere at or below commercial flight altitudes.

    "They" are mysterious metallic orbs and they're flying all around the world, according to the most recent public meeting the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).

    "The AARO now refers to these orbs as Unexplained Anomalous Phenomena, or UAPs, rather than Unidentified Flying Objects, or UFOs, which is how we used to refer to so-called flying saucers or any other alleged alien craft in the past," Jalopnik reported. "The mysterious objects have been renamed to account for more objects that may not fall under the narrow classification that UFOs entail, according to Vice."

    UAPs are, apparently, everywhere. During its first open meeting, the AARO team said it receives anywhere from 50 to 100 reports per month. But AARO Director Sean Kirkpatrick said only 2%-5% of those turn out to be "really anomalous."

    Still, that's a lot. The UAPs are unexplained and unexplainable. And the AARO wants to dispel the stigma of reporting such sightings so the Pentagon and NASA can get help from the general public.

    So far, this is what the AARO knows about the orbs: most are spotted at altitudes where aircraft fly, between 10,000 to 30,000 feet; the orbs "range between being stationary and being capable of flight speeds up to Mach 2; and despite their velocity, no thermal exhaust has been detected thus far in any of the reports," Jalopnik reported.


    The reports of UAPs have spiked since David Charles Grusch said he has given Congress reams of classified information about covert U.S. government programs that he says are now in possession of an intact craft of "non-human origin."

    Grusch, 36, is a decorated former combat officer in Afghanistan and a veteran of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office. He was the reconnaissance office's representative to the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force from 2019-2021. And then from late 2021 to July 2022, he was the NGA's co-lead for UAP analysis and its representative to the task force.

    The UAP expert said the information was illegally withheld from Congress, and he "filed a complaint alleging that he suffered illegal retaliation for his confidential disclosures," thedebrief.com reported.

    "Grusch said the recoveries of partial fragments through and up to intact vehicles have been made for decades through the present day by the government, its allies, and defense contractors. Analysis has determined that the objects retrieved are 'of exotic origin (non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or unknown origin) based on the vehicle morphologies and material science testing and the possession of unique atomic arrangements and radiological signatures,' he said," the debrief reported.

    Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who reportedly attended a classified UAP briefing on a military base in Florida on February 21, has also revealed a small bit of info he has received.

    "I have seen evidence of craft that I am not familiar with any of our allies or adversaries or even our country possessing. I've seen that craft taken by air crews who have gotten quite close to it and we've got a lot more questions about why this information isn't more broadly available to the American people," Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) told Newsmax.


    In short, they're here.
