"Immaculate Constellation demonstrates the extant capability to detect, quarantine, and transfer UAP and RV [Reproduction Vehicle] collection incidents before they are observed and circulated within the Military Intelligence Enterprise, thus serving as a means of enforcing internal information security."
Michael Schellenberger
During the most recent Congressional hearings held in November 2024, a report surfaced detailing the results of a multi-year internal investigation into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), Technologies of Unknown Origin (TUO), and Non-Human Intelligence (NHI). The investigation, summarized in this report, originates from non-public data held within the Executive Branch of the United States Government (USG). This public version of the report was reviewed and approved for public release by the Department of State, Bureau of Global Public Affairs.
The report suggests the USG is not only aware of UAPs and TUOs, but also foreign state efforts to replicate UAP and TUO capabilities. The data reveal the capacity of the U.S. Armed Services and Military Intelligence Community to detect, track, identify, and engage anomalous trans-medium platforms.
Key Findings of the Immaculate Constellation Report:
Unacknowledged Special Access Program (USAP): The report states that IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION is an unacknowledged USAP established after the disclosure of the AATIP/AAWSAAP programs by Luis Elizondo in 2017. Its primary mission is to collect imagery intelligence on UAP and ARV/RV (Reproduction Vehicle) utilizing tasked and untasked U.S. military-intelligence resources. IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION acts as a nexus for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating intelligence on the capabilities and locations of anomalous aerospace threats that originate from foreign or unidentified sources. The categorization of IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION as a ‘parent’ USAP, with various ‘child’ SAPs under its umbrella, indicates a high level of compartmentalization and secrecy. In effect, IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION serves as a central or ‘parent’ USAP that consolidates observations of UAP and ARV activities detected by tasked and untasked collection platforms.
Imagery Intelligence (IMINT): The intelligence within IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION primarily consists of high-quality imagery and collateral Measurement and Signatures Intelligence (MASINT). The platform involves tasked and untasked capabilities in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), the upper mesosphere, military and civilian aviation altitudes, and maritime environments. IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION pays particular attention to anomalous aerospace platforms that have been developed through the study or acquisition of technologies of unknown origin by foreign nations or unknown entities, UAP and ARV/RV signatures and preferred operating areas are known to the program, enabling a degree of strategic awareness and warning.
UAP/ARV Activity: IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION shows that UAP and ARV/RVs are operating around the globe, often in close proximity to sensitive foreign assets and locations. IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION processes collection protocols, which enforces compartmentalization by detecting, quarantining, and transferring UAP and RV imagery collection incidents before they are circulated within the Military Intelligence Enterprise.
Defense HUMINT Reporting: The USG maintains a database of intelligence collected by military personnel across a plethora of topics, including UAP. Individual reports are considered “raw” because they have not undergone evaluation, corroboration, or contextualization into a finished analytical product by Military Intelligence Community analysts. A significant volume of reports documenting first-hand encounters with Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) or Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) by DoD personnel exists within defense HUMINT databases. Many of these UAP reports are filed by military aviators and pilots as well as service members trained in foreign military intelligence collection activities and often include photographic evidence and sensor data. When aggregated, these reports reveal significant information on UAP.
Common UAP/UFO Shapes: From 1991 to 2022, the most common UAP shapes reported in this USG dataset were spheres/orbs, discs/saucers, ovals/tic-tacs, triangles, boomerang/arrowhead, and irregular/organic.
Sphere/Orb: Sizes range from small objects to several meters in diameter. Often lack conventional signatures such as heat trails and electromagnetic effects on military electronics. They vary in color with grey/metallic, greyish-blue, white/white-yellow, and red/orange-red being prevalent.
Disc/Saucer: Generally, range from a few meters to over 20 meters in diameter. Metallic silver or gray is common, though some have been reported as emitting light or changing color. Visual disturbances, such as shimmering air or sudden fog formation, have been reported.
Oval/Tic-Tac: Lengths typically from 6 to 40 meters, maintaining proportional width and height. High-speed travel and instant acceleration have been frequently reported, with no sonic boom. Visual identification often notes a lack of contrail.
Triangular: Medium to large sized, ranging from F-16 to football-field size. Often reported to emit a soft, humming sound and may affect electronic devices within a certain proximity.
Observed UAP Encounters: Examples include encounters by CVN flight deck personnel, metallic orbs intercepting an F-22, and a perimeter of sensitive facility breached by a spherical UAP.
Close Encounter by CVN Flight Deck Personnel: While on active duty in the Pacific, flight deck personnel working night duty experienced a close encounter with a spherical UAP of medium-large size.
Metallic Orbs Intercept F-22 on CONUS Air Surveillance and Control Mission: While performing a routine Airspace Surveillance and Control Mission in the Eastern Air Defense Sector, an F-22 fighter observed multiple UAP contacts at mission-altitude.
Perimeter of Sensitive Facility Breached by UAP: At a military airfield located on the Eastern Seaboard, ground personnel reported a lengthy, low-altitude intrusion late at night by a small, spherical UAP.
Signals Intelligence: A substantial body of sensitive signals intelligence is collected from peer and near-peer countries demonstrating foreign awareness of UAP events occurring over their sensitive military and intelligence facilities. These facilities are most often associated with aerospace defense, strategic deterrence, and military-sponsored scientific research and development.
USG Historical Records: USG historical records explicitly tasked U.S. intelligence to collect on foreign entities active in areas often relegated to the fringes of scientific research, including parapsychology and the biological effects of encounters with UAP.
Examples of UAP Characteristics Captured by Sensors
CENTCOM Cuboid Formation of Metallic Orbs: On USG networks, there exists daytime-FMV and daytime-FLIR footage of a formation of ~12 metallic orbs skimming the ocean surface at high-speed before dispersing in multiple directions. The metallic orbs were in three vertical square formations of ~4 orbs each, arranged in a three-pronged configuration, creating the illusion of a cube shape at a distance.
CENTCOM Fast Mover Observed Transiting Over Sensitive Facilities: On USG networks, there exists FLIR footage of a small-medium oval UAP flying at high speed and low to the surface.
INDOPACOM Intelligence Vessels Positioned to Collect on Reproduction Vehicle: On USG networks, there exists Infrared footage of imagery of a grouping of vessels engaged in SIGINT and MASINT collection at night in a specific area of the Pacific Ocean. In this footage, which was in close-proximity to the vessels, a large equilateral-triangle UAP suddenly appears directly over the ships.
INDOPACOM Large Disc Using Clouds as Concealment: On USG networks there exists OPIR footage of a large saucer shaped UAP emerging from within a dense cloud formation].
INDOPACOM Boomerang UAP Observed by Pilot and Sensor Suite: On USG networks there exists FLIR footage of a swept-boomerang UAP maneuvering at an uncertain altitude at a location off the eastern coast of a country].
NORTHCOM Jellyfish UAP Crosses US-Mexico Border: On USG networks, there exists TLIR footage of an irregularly shaped UAP flying across the southern border]. The UAP appeared in FLIR to be ‘mottled’ irregularly with hot/cold emissions and approximated a jellyfish or floating ‘brain’ with hanging appendages in appearance].
NORTHCOM Supersonic ‘Range Fouler’ Intercepts USN Fighter: On USG networks there exists FLIR footage and radar data of a supersonic UAP of uncertain characteristics conducting a head-on intercept of a USN fighter operating o/p the Eastern seaboard].
SOUTHCOM Tic-Tac Detected by Space Asset in Proximity of Vessel: On USG networks there exist OPIR imagery and MASINT of a Tic-Tac UAP transiting through an area of the Atlantic Ocean].
Potential Implications:
Congressional Awareness: The report was written to provide Congress with evidence of the existence of UAP, NHI, and TUO. It suggests the Executive Branch has been managing UAP/NHI issues without Congressional knowledge, oversight, or authorization for some time. The results of this investigation are deeply disturbing. Elements of the U.S. Executive Branch have conspired to prevent the U.S. Legislative Branch from exercising its lawful powers of governance with respect to the UAP, TUO, and NHI issues.
Secrecy and Transparency: The report raises concerns about the level of secrecy surrounding UAP-related programs and the potential for a lack of transparency with the American public. Documents found through the internal records of AARO and DoD interactions with Congress cast serious doubt on the integrity of the DoD’s statements to the elected leaders of the United States Government. Relevant transcripts held by DoD leadership show a pattern of trivialization, obfuscation, and outright denial of UAP data in what were intended to be highly classified, private, and transparent conversations with appropriate Congressional members.
National Security: The report suggests that UAP events are being treated as serious national security threats by other countries. The report also mentions UAP operating in close proximity to sensitive foreign assets which may be interpreted as a threat. These UAP events are treated by the security apparatuses of each state as serious national security threats due to UAP in proximity to sensitive military and intelligence facilities.
Technological Advancement: The study and exploitation of UAP and NHI may provide insight into highly classified and suppressed areas of scientific research and technology development. Significant intelligence resources were dedicated to understanding and exploiting information related to UAPs and NHIs highlights a strategic commitment to understanding the full scope of UAP, NHI, and TUO. These and other classified accounts provide a rare public glimpse reveal the contours of a secretive, decades-long competition between major terrestrial powers to collect, exploit, and field novel technologies derived from the study of UAP and NHI.
The official disclosure of the existence of Non-Human Intelligences (NHIs) and their presence on Earth is of such insuperable relevance to the public good that it demands to be disseminated but must be done so in a way that considers how individuals, families, communities, cultures, and nations will react to revelations of such magnitude. As we tread into the dark, we must remain ever vigilant against the lure of authoritarian solutions justified by expediency and appeals to national security. This, in reality, is the true threat.
