1940 UAP Sighting — AARO Records (D213P32)
A foo fighters era case from unknown location. A private sector organization claimed to possess material from a crashed extraterrestrial craft.
Background
On 1940s or 1950s, in unknown location, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) recorded the unidentified-phenomenon case described below. The case is preserved in AARO’s 2024-2025 publications and consolidated annual reports to Congress, declassified or released in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and Department of Defense reporting cycles.
One of the foo-fighter-era reports from the second world war, when allied aircrews repeatedly described unexplained luminous objects pacing their bombers.
The case appears in materials produced or curated by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office.
What the document records
A private sector organization claimed to possess material from a crashed extraterrestrial craft. They believed the material had unique properties, and in 2019, agreed to allow the U.S. Army to analyze it. AARO later acquired the sample for further analysis.
Verbatim from the file
“material from an extraterrestrial craft recovered from a crash at an unknown location from the 1940s or 1950s”
Type of case
The case is a visual sighting reported by ground or air observers.
Status
AARO designates unresolved cases as those for which the agency has not concluded the events were anomalous, has not concluded that they were conventional, and has not ruled out either possibility. Conventional candidates for sightings of recent periods include commercial drones, classified test platforms, satellite re-entry, balloon traffic, atmospheric optical phenomena, and astronomical objects.
