The account

Required by Congress, the report reviewed past programmes from Sign to AATIP, and interviewed people who had made reverse-engineering claims. It concluded that many such stories came from circular reporting among a small group of believers, and from misidentified secret programmes. It also revealed 'Kona Blue', a rejected proposal for a secret programme to exploit recovered craft.

The sceptical view

Critics including David Grusch's supporters and some members of Congress said AARO didn't interview key witnesses or get access to all programmes. A second volume was promised.
