ORNL Analysis of Magnesium Alloy Specimen — AARO Record (2024)
Dr. Voss's Analysis
In 2022, AARO contracted ORNL to test a magnesium alloy specimen that had been publicly alleged to be recovered from a crashed extraterrestrial vehicle in 1947. Claimants asserted it functioned as a terahertz waveguide capable of generating antigravity effects. ORNL assessed the specimen's elemental and structural characteristics. The April 2024 summary found no evidence of the claimed extraordinary properties. AARO published the ORNL synopsis and a supplemental analysis.
Overview
AARO contracted ORNL to conduct materials testing on a magnesium alloy specimen publicly alleged to be a component recovered from a crashed extraterrestrial vehicle in 1947 and purported to exhibit extraordinary properties. ORNL's findings did not confirm the extraordinary properties claimed.
Key Facts
- ◆Specimen alleged by claimants to be recovered from a 1947 crash
- ◆Alleged properties included terahertz waveguide and antigravity capabilities
- ◆ORNL found no evidence of the claimed extraordinary characteristics
- ◆Both ORNL synopsis and AARO supplement are publicly available on aaro.mil
What Remains Unresolved
- ?Does the specimen originate from the alleged 1947 location?
- ?Were all alleged extraordinary properties within ORNL's testing scope?
- ?Have additional specimens from the same claimed source been examined?
