Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, the director of the Department of Defense's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, is scheduled to appear as the sole witness in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee at 10:30 a.m. EST on Wednesday.

Kirkpatrick, who recently speculated about the potential for an alien “mothership” in the solar system and “extraterrestrial technological probes” visiting Earth, is set to discuss the “mission, activities, oversight, and budget” of the AARO, which was created by the Pentagon in 2022 and is tasked with identifying and attributing "unidentified aerial phenomena,” or UAPs, more commonly known as unidentified flying objects.

Kirkpatrick's testimony comes only a month after the publishing of a draft paper he co-authored with Harvard University professor Abraham Loeb, with the abstract of the paper titled “Physical Constraints on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” that explored “The Extraterrestrial Possibility.”

Kirkpatrick wrote in March that “an artificial interstellar object could potentially be a parent craft that releases many small probes during its close passage to Earth” and that these “small probes” or “dandelion seeds” could be separated from the “mothership” by either the gravitational force of the sun or by maneuvering capability
