Hahahaha. The departing head of AARO (the latest UFO investigation office) has just been caught lying through his teeth.
Steven Greenstreet was interviewing him for his rag (here ->
https://youtu.be/q4lWb1XBvVo?si=Al3US4RfjvO8dEwx ), in what was supposed to be a nice friendly sycophantic chat (they are both of the opinion there's nothing supernatural going on). Then, bizaarely, towards the end of the interview Greenstreet asks him this:
‘Before AARO,
did you perform any duties regarding UFOs or paranormal phenomena?’
‘No’
No. Clear answer... right? Then Greenstreet asks him if he attended a meeting in 2018 with the Skinwalker Ranch (UFO hotspot) team and Kirkpatrick starts floundering like a trout on concrete. He claims to have never met Brandon Fugal (the owner of Skinwalker Ranch) and that he may have been there but the talk never mentioned Skinwalker Ranch.
In response Fugal posts this on twitter:
Lols. That's Kirkpatrick looking shifty at the camera. (Fugal is the guy standing up talking)
The slide on the screen is also seen to clearly be about Skinwalker Ranch so he lied about that too.
Glorious. If you take anything AARO have said as factual from this point you're a fool. These guys are spooks; a honey trap set up to trap eyewitnesses (which is why Grusch never trusted them) and their job was clearly to bury Ufology and shield what's really going on. But they're not clever enough.

If this doesn't register as a red flag to the skeptic crowd you are absolutely kidding yourselves. [And don't get me started on the infamous AARO report that was published - a pathetic hotchpotch of wilfull ignorance written by undergrads]
Wakey wakey
