  I think the best part of this is that they included a correction saying that one of the two people quoted as saying there were 'off world' vehicle said he never meant to imply 'other wordly', but the title stays: "Pentagon Has ‘Off-World Vehicles Not Made on This Earth’". 

  This because one material science expert could not figure out a material and went with: "If I don't understand it, it's from another planet".


Alternate title “Astrophysicist Consultant makes grandiose comment about metallurgy”


An even more significant discovery than extraterrestrials would be that people could keep their mouth shut about extraterrestrials for 60+ years.


I'm of the opinion that the only way humanity will travel through space in any significant way will be after the creation of AI which then goes in our stead. Having biological bodies just doesn't work well for long term space travel for so many reasons. By the same extension if we ever had a UFO visitor from another planet, I believe there wouldn't be some alien body. Just a ship with a computer.


Should be"one consultant doesn't know how to identify a material."
