Report: Pentagon deliberately released Area 51 UFO conspiracy theories to conceal advanced weapons programs

The Pentagon deliberately spread UFO conspiracy theories surrounding Area 51 in an attempt to conceal secret weapons programs, according to a newly released report.

A report released by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) found that an Air Force colonel visited a bar near Area 51 in the 1980s – providing the owner fabricated material depicting flying saucers around the highly classified military base, according to the Wall Street Journal’s review of the report released in 2024.

The Pentagon reportedly intentionally ran a disinformation campaign on American citizens in an attempt to hide the development of the F-117 Nighthawk, the world’s first ever stealth warplane.

The 1980s were marked by a tense and dynamic period in the Cold War, with the Pentagon concluding at the time that spreading false information was the most effective route at concealing its cutting edge technology from the Soviet Union.

Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, a former chief scientist at the Missile and Space Intelligence Center was chosen to lead the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in 2022, which delved into the mass trove of government documents and memos pertaining to UFO sightings and encounters.

The Wall Street Journal recounted Kirkpatrick finding that the Air Force would haze members by informing them of a fake project known as “Yankee Blue,” in which they were told was centered around reverse-engineering extraterrestrial technology.

The individuals were told never to mention the project to anyone, and many of the individuals were never informed that the project was not actually real. During the course of Kirkpatrick’s investigation, the prank was reportedly still being passed down, leading the DOD to issue an order to stop the practice in 2023.

“Investigators are still trying to determine why officers had misled subordinates, whether as some type of loyalty test, a more deliberate attempt to

What lots of people guessed long ago.

The truth always catches up eventually.

Nonsense.

Those things (lights) I saw when I was a teenager crisscrossing back and forth across the sky from horizon to horizon in the blink of an eye and doing right angle turns while at it was just government propaganda?

Right.

In fact, I never saw the X Files but once, and the show was about that very thing, government people dressed up in space alien suits to confuse people — I only saw a few minutes of it.

Working on Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona, there were two or three times I saw things which were, literally “unidentified flying objects”. One, in particular was clear, very UFO looking and fairly close 1/4 mile, 100 yds altitude.

The context or subsequent inquiries showed all three were the products of ongoing testing.

I also observed some spectacular crop dusting techniques at night in the Mohawk valley close to Yuma Proving Ground, which to an untrained observer, might have been characterized as a UFO. Light on/off very unusual flying pattern, no noise from a couple of miles away, very clear air, inversion setting up.

I have seen them three times now in my life. THIS article is the REAL psyop. They just absolutely refuse to let the truth out of the bag.

I have wondered about that from the first “tic tacs.” I am not a total skeptic about UFOs but they can be very useful for the government for such a project.

That doesn’t make it nonsense. But when the existing situation becomes useful to provide cover for our own developments then suddenly the government makes a show of being more open.

It is nonsense. That is slamming the barn door shut after the horses have escaped.

Everyone knows the Area 51 has exotic flying vehicles.

First time I got on the internet in 1996, I looked up Area 51. Art Bell also pimped it.

So “admitting” the advanced weapons programs now means there are currently UFOs there.

You may watch this as it explains a lot.

If by chance you are interested in Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO’s) and what is real and what is not, home grown; you may want to watch this video with Steven Greer. It is a multifaceted subject and by necessity can’t be explained in just a few words so it is a little bit long, but it is worth watching.
