According to a draft research report by Sean Kirkpatrick, director of Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, and Abraham Loeb, chairman of Harvard University’s astronomy department, aliens may be visiting our solar system and deploying smaller probes similar to those used by NASA when exploring or planets. report, which was released on March 7, focusses on physical constraints of unidentified aerial phenomena. Pentagon officials behind report suggest that se phenomena may not be of human origin and warrant furr investigation.

“…An artificial interstellar object could potentially be a parent craft that releases many small probes during its close passage to Earth, an operational construct not too dissimilar from NASA missions. se ‘dandelion seeds’ could be separated from parent craft by tidal gravitational force of Sun or by a manoeuvring capability," report re, according to Fox News.

What is All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office?

All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), established in July 2022, is responsible for monitoring and tracking objects in various domains, including sky, underwater, and space. AARO is particularly interested in identifying objects that can move between domains. In 2005, Congress tasked NASA with identifying 90% of all objects near Earth that are larger than 140 meters, which led to development of Pan-STARRS telescopes, according to a recent report. On October 19, 2017, Pan-STARRS telescopes detected an unusual interstellar object, later named 'Oumuamua,' which was cigar-shaped, flat, and exhibited no cometary tail. Some scientists speculated that object may have been of artificial origin. report also notes discovery of anor object, NASA's rocket booster 2020 SO, which did not show a cometary trail, three years after 'Oumuamua's discovery.
