Sean Kirkpatrick is no longer head of the ‘UFO hunting’ office – but a new report he worked on has shaken the world of ufology
Sean Kirkpatrick doesn’t seem too thrilled to be chatting with me about UFOs. Since taking over the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in 2022 – government-speak for UFO hunting – Kirkpatrick has received violent threats, social-media smear campaigns, and even had to call the FBI after a UFO fanatic tried to break into his home.
“I’ve had people threaten my wife and daughter, and try to break into our online accounts,” Kirkpatrick says. “I didn’t have China and Russia trying to get on me as much as these people are.”
