Report confirms the Pentagon has set up a secret project to assess extra-terrestrial threats

The truth was out there. Now it is in here.

In a new report published by The New York Times, they have in fact uncovered the truth behind “Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program”.

Initially set up by Harry Reid – the former senator of Nevada… which is where Area 51 is… we smell a conspiracy – and some folks with aerospace backgrounds, and they approached the government for funding.

Out of the $600 billion annual Defense Department budgets, nobody was really going to notice the $22 million going towards the AATIP (note: needs catchier acronym), the point of the program was to properly investigate the reports of UFOs that were regularly put forward by members of the military.

While that does sound exactly like the plot of the The X-Files, some very smart people think that the subject should be taken very seriously, such as Sara Seager, an astrophysicist at M.I.T., who told the NYT: “When people claim to observe truly unusual phenomena, sometimes it’s worth investigating seriously.”

You’d be forgiven for thinking that this was the brainchild of America’s current overlord President, but it has actually been in operation since 2007.

However, the report splits off into two different, conflicting stories from that point on, with some sources claiming that the project was closed in 2012, while others claim that it is still very much alive and kicking, just far more clandestine than it was before.

Harry Reid, who retired from Congress earlier in 2017, stated: “I’m not embarrassed or ashamed or sorry I got this thing going. I think it’s one of the good things I did in my congressional service. I’ve done something that no one has done before.”

$22 million a year doesn’t sound so bad to potentially sort out the difference of impending visitors being more E.T. and less… face-hugger’y.
