Pentagon

The Pentagon is the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense (DoD). It is the central location for the command and control of the U.S. armed forces and has been the epicenter of the government's long and complex history with the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) issue.¹

Role in UAP Investigation and Secrecy

The Pentagon has been the home of official government programs tasked with investigating UAP, including the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), the UAP Task Force, and the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). According to Luis Elizondo, the Pentagon's culture of stigma around UAP made serious investigation nearly impossible.¹

The building has been the site of numerous key events in the UAP disclosure movement, including the initial briefings of Christopher Mellon by Elizondo and the internal battles over AATIP's funding.¹

The Pentagon is also alleged to be the home of the "Collins Elite," a group of religious fundamentalists who believe the UAP phenomenon is demonic, and the "Legacy Program," a deeply hidden effort to reverse-engineer recovered UAP technology.¹

Dark Alliance Investigation

The Pentagon was where Enrique Bermúdez was invited by a U.S. Air Force official to discuss forming a Contra army. The official told Bermúdez he had a friend at the Central Intelligence Agency who wanted to meet Nicaraguan exiles with military experience. The meeting was a key moment in the creation of the FDN Contra army, demonstrating that the U.S. military establishment was directly involved in forming the Contra force from its earliest days.²
