Liberation Times obtained and reported the Pentagon’s formal response to a direct query about whether the US government has discovered materials originating from non-human intelligences or of unknown origin within classified programs. The official answer: unable to confirm or deny. That NCND (Neither Confirm Nor Deny) posture — used only for the most sensitive programs — is itself a data point.
What NCND Means
The US government’s “Neither Confirm Nor Deny” policy — originally developed for nuclear weapons presence — is reserved for classified programs of the highest sensitivity. Standard denials are simply “no.” NCND means: we cannot discuss this at all. When the Pentagon responds to a UAP materials query with NCND rather than a flat denial, it signals that any answer would reveal classified information. A denial of a false premise requires no classification protection.
The Historical Pattern
The Pentagon’s inability to confirm or deny non-human material discovery follows a consistent pattern. The same NCND posture was applied to questions about AAWSAP, to questions about AATIP, and to questions about the specific contractors named in the Wilson-Davis memo. In each case, flat denial was available but not used. NCND was used instead.
The Senate Intelligence Committee’s amnesty proposal explicitly acknowledged the possibility of non-human materials in contractor possession. That legislation uses exact language about “non-earth origin or exotic materials.” The Pentagon’s NCND response to the same question is consistent with that legislative acknowledgment.
