These People Claim UFO Artifacts are Held by the Government and/or Contractors

This document, published by Silva Record on November 15, 2019, compiles various claims and statements regarding the alleged possession of UFO artifacts, debris, and metamaterials by the United States government and private contractors. The article explores the concept of 'metamaterials'—a term associated with researchers like Dr. Garry Nolan and Jacques Vallee—which are described as potential UFO-related technological hardware. The text highlights the involvement of To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science (TTSA) and its members, including Luis Elizondo, Dr. Hal Puthoff, and Chris Mellon, in discussing these materials. A significant portion of the document focuses on the role of private industry, Independent Research and Development (IRAD) activities, and Special Access Programs (SAPs) in potentially housing recovered crash materials, often outside the direct oversight of the government. The author references several key figures and sources, including former Senator Harry Reid, who sought to bring AATIP into a special access program to investigate these rumors; Dr. Eric Davis, who commented on the accuracy of Luis Elizondo’s claims; and the book 'American Cosmic' by Dr. Diana Pasulka, which features a character named 'Tyler' who allegedly viewed UFO artifacts in a laboratory setting. The document also includes commentary from a 2016 interview with Tom DeLonge, who discusses the existence of crash retrieval programs and the involvement of private corporations. The article concludes by noting that the interest from the U.S. Army in TTSA’s research and the ongoing public discourse suggest that the subject of UFO artifacts is gaining increased attention and legitimacy, despite skepticism from some researchers regarding the nature of the materials being tested.
