The Pentagon has reportedly admitted to "holding and testing wreckage from UFO crashes".

According to The Sun, the revelation was made in an explosive letter from the United States Defense Intelligence Agency to ufologist Anthony Bragalia.

He was allegedly sent the tell-all document after making a public request under the Freedom of Information Act to see the materials of any unidentified flying objects recovery by government researchers back in 2017.

Bragalia requested to see: "Physical debris recovered by personnel of the Department of Defense as residue, flotsam, shot-off material or crashed material from UAPS [unidentified aerial phenomenon] or unidentified flying objects."

Three years later, the department acquiesced to Bragalia's request and returned to him a 154-page document comprising the details of test results on recovered UFO debris, including declassified reports on a mysterious "memory metal" called "nitinol."

The move to declassify the files followed the similar reveal of files related to the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, made public in 2017, and the acknowledgment of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force in June of 2020.

Commenting on the findings in the report in a statement made to The Sun, Bragalia stated:

"The Pentagon has admitted to holding and testing anomalous debris from UFOs.

"They have been able to learn some things about the materials of construction which hold tremendous promise as futuristic materials which will change our lives forever.

"The article mentioned that anomalous debris from UFOs (now called UAPs) was being analyzed by a private defense contractor.

"Material evidence such as UFO debris has been a focus of my research. My Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was very specific, seeking the test results of UFO/UAP debris, not material already known to science."

Bragalia added: "The inclusion of advanced technical reports on Nitinol is curious. Nitinol is a shape-memory alloy that 'remembers' its original shape when folded or crunched, and snaps back seamlessly and instantly.

"This memory metal characteristic was reported by many witnesses at Roswell."

Bragalia's DIA letter, which has now shared on his blog, claims that testing was carried out by Bigelow Aerospace, a private engineering and research contractor based in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Furthermore, Bragalia claims that everyone he approached who used to work at the plant refused to comment on the metal "nitinol" and that he aims to launch an appeal to obtain five redacted pages from the document.
