NY Post: Pentagon Admits AATIP Investigated Unidentified Aerial Phenomena
Investigative journalist Steven Greenstreet secured an official admission from the Defense Department that the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program had indeed pursued inquiries into unidentified aerial phenomena. This statement reversed more than a year of official denials claiming the program had no connection to UFO research.
Background
In May 2019, New York Post journalist Steven Greenstreet obtained a formal reversal from the Pentagon regarding the nature of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. After consistently denying for over a year that AATIP had any connection to unidentified flying objects, Defense Department officials conceded to Greenstreet that the program 'did pursue research and investigation into unidentified aerial phenomena.' This admission represented a significant shift in the official narrative and validated claims by former program administrator Luis Elizondo. The breakthrough came after persistent questioning by Greenstreet, who hosted the online series 'The Basement Office.' The reversal exposed previous Pentagon statements as erroneous and established AATIP's true purpose as a UAP research effort, contradicting earlier official denials.
