## Key points

- UAP disclosure advocates allege the government is hiding evidence of nonhuman craft.
- Former officials dispute the claims, and public evidence remains inconclusive.
- The article says UAP secrecy has also obscured government research and spending.

## Summary

The article examines claims by UAP disclosure advocates that the US government is hiding evidence of extraterrestrial craft, technology and bodies, alongside strong denials from former government scientist Sean Kirkpatrick. It argues that decades of secrecy and misleading official statements have made the issue difficult to assess, while claims of alien involvement remain unproven.

Former intelligence official Luis Elizondo says disclosure is already under way, while Kirkpatrick describes the movement as an effort to win resources for a particular story. The article points to the 2017 publication of Navy videos, including the “Tic Tac” footage, and Elizondo’s 2024 congressional testimony that “biologics” had been discussed. It also says paranormal research has received millions of federal dollars despite few meaningful results.
