UFOs have left people with burns, ‘time suspension’ and brain damage, according to a newly released report from the Pentagon.
It comes after the now-defunct Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program (AATIP) released documents as part of a Freedom of Information Act request from 2017.
The existence of the AATIP was revealed by whistleblower and former head of the program Luis Elizondo in 2017, reports the Daily Mail. It operated from 2007 to 2012.
US intelligence officials had been holding onto evidence that UFO sightings have led to unexplainable health effects, including paralysis, electric shocks and even ‘ permanent healing.’
The study, from 2010, pooled together different types of encounters from people who have come in contact with UFOs or UAPs, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, and included a summary of UFO-induced effects.
The information, compiled by a private nonprofit in 1996, ranged from some of the most common experiences, like abduction, to the extreme cases of sexual encounters.
It also included 300 reports from ‘unpublished’ cases and is part of a 1,500 page document.
The report, released to The Sun and titled ‘Anomalous Acute And Subacute Field Effects on Human and Biological Tissues’, said: “Sufficient incidents/accidents have been accurately reported, and medical data acquired, as to support a hypothesis that some advanced systems are already deployed, and opaque to full US understandings.
“Classified information exists that is highly pertinent to the subject of this study and only a small part of the classified literature has been released.”
A list of psychological effects experienced by those who have come in contact with UFOs or UAPs was attached to the report, compiled in 1996 and covering the time period from 1873 to 1994.
Among the effects are: apparent abductions (129 reported cases), electromagnetic effects on vehicles (77), perceived time loss (75), burns (41), electrical shocks (23), force field impacts (18), and sexual encounters (5).
Elizondo, who headed up the $22 million Pentagon program studying UFOs, told GQ magazine about some of these effects in an interview in November.
He said: “I’ve got to be careful, I can’t speak too specifically, but one might imagine that you get a report from a pilot who says, ‘Lue, it’s really weird. I was flying and I got close to this thing and I came back home and it was like I got a sunburn. I was red for four days.'”
“Well, that’s a sign of radiation. That’s not a sunburn; it’s a radiation burn. Then [a pilot] might say, if [they] had got a little closer, ‘Lue, I’m at the hospital. I’ve got symptoms that are indicative of microwave damage, meaning internal injuries, and even in my brain there’s some morphology there.’
“And then you might get somebody who gets really close and says, ‘You know, Lue, it’s really bizarre. It felt like I was there for only five minutes, but when I looked at my watch 30 minutes went by, but I only used five minutes worth of fuel. How is that possible?’
“Well, there’s a reason for that, we believe, and it probably has to do with warping of space time.”
The study reported 129 cases of abductions
The study went as far as rating different types of encounters and placing them into group categories.
‘Anomalous behaviours’ are classified as AN1, meaning they have no lasting physical effects, such as lights and explosions.
AN3s refer to ‘associated entities’ like ghosts, yetis, spirits, elves and other ‘mythical/legendary entities.’
Reports of injury and death fall under AN5s.
CEs, otherwise known as close encounters, are divided into sections.
- CE1s: a UFO comes within 500 feet of a witness
- CE2: a close encounter leaves landing traces or injuries to the witness
- CE4s: the witness is abducted.
- CE5s: close encounters resulting in permanent psychological injury or death.
Officials said that the UFOs are “from unknown provenance that may be a threat to United States interest.”
Documents from the programme revealed that former US Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada asked for the project to remain a secret.
In a letter from 2009, Reid said the program had identified “several highly sensitive, unconventional aerospace technologies” requiring “extraordinary protection.”
One document shows that a $12 million contract was awarded to Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BLASS) to study ‘advanced aerospace weapon threats from the present out to 40 years in the future.’ It was the only company to bid for the project.
Unexplained phenomena continue to puzzle US officials who can’t really explain where they come from.
