In a highly anticipated report sure to stir debate across the UAP disclosure community, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) has released the results of a scientific analysis performed on a widely speculated “exotic material” said to be recovered from a UFO crash near 1947.
The verdict?
Not alien.
Not antigravity.
But certainly unusual.
Conducted by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) - one of the most prestigious science labs in the U.S. - the metallurgical study concludes the layered specimen in question was man-made and terrestrial, albeit with a peculiar structure and composition that helped fuel decades of conspiracy theories.
🧲 The Myth of the Levitation Metal
The object, a magnesium-zinc alloy with bands of bismuth and trace elements, has circulated in fringe media, scientific speculation, and public fascination for years. It was most notably linked to To the Stars Academy (TTSA) and previously analyzed under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Army.
Claims surrounding the specimen included:
-
Inertial mass reduction (i.e., antigravity)
-
Functioning as a terahertz waveguide for exotic energy transmission
-
Non-terrestrial isotope ratios
These ideas were, according to the AARO-commissioned report, put to the scientific test at ORNL.
🔬 Scientific Scrutiny at Oak Ridge
Between 2023 and 2024, ORNL scientists employed a suite of advanced materials analysis techniques:
-
CT scans to examine internal layer structures
-
Electron microscopy (SEM/TEM) for microstructure and grain morphology
-
Mass spectrometry (ICP-MS, ICP-OES) for trace element identification
-
Isotopic analysis to determine planetary origin
Their findings?
-
The bismuth layers are impure, amorphous, and nanocrystalline, incapable of functioning as a waveguide
-
The structure lacks the crystalline organization required for levitation effects
-
All elemental and isotopic signatures fall within Earth-normal compositions
-
The material shows signs of mechanical and thermal stress, consistent with industrial processing
🧾 A Curious But Earthly Alloy
The most notable components:
-
Magnesium (97.5%)
-
Zinc (2%)
-
Trace elements: bismuth, lead, thallium, iron, gold, cadmium, and others - all below 0.1%
While it is not unusual to find such elements in metallurgical alloys, the co-location of bismuth and lead in repeating layers added to the intrigue.
But ORNL was clear: this configuration does not match any theoretical layout that would enable antigravity behavior or wave-guiding in the terahertz range.
🌎 It’s From Earth, Period
To put the matter to rest, ORNL’s isotope analysis was definitive.
-
Magnesium isotopes: fell directly on the mass fractionation line consistent with terrestrial materials
-
Lead isotopes: matched Earth’s “common lead” signature exactly - not even lunar material showed this match
If the material had originated from another planet or star system, its isotopic signature would have been noticeably different.
Instead, it was textbook Earth metal.
📉 Another Blow to Exotic Material Claims
The specimen analyzed is the same one linked in public lore to a 1947 crash retrieval-a thinly veiled reference to the Roswell incident.
The report doesn’t disprove that crashes may have occurred.
But it deflates one of the most cited physical artifacts claimed to prove extraterrestrial contact or secret U.S. tech retrieval.
“There is no evidence the material ever contained a pure crystalline bismuth layer,” the report states plainly.
🧪 Science or Smokescreen?
For some in the disclosure community, no conclusion from a government-backed institution will satisfy suspicions.
But for others - especially materials scientists and skeptics - the report may mark a turning point in separating physical reality from myth in UAP investigations.
This was not speculation.
This was high-resolution microscopy and isotope spectrometry from one of America’s top national laboratories.
