The claim about the Pentagon’s secret UFO program, allegedly called “Immaculate Constellation,” originates from a whistleblower report covered by several sources. According to journalist Michael Shellenberger, the whistleblower alleges that this program was established in 2017 and is involved in retrieving and investigating unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). It reportedly deals with advanced technologies, including so-called “alien reproduction vehicles” (ARVs), which are claimed to be secured within this highly secretive framework.

The whistleblower also claims that information about UAP sightings and encounters has been hidden from both Congress and the public, violating constitutional obligations. According to this account, the program collects imagery, eyewitness testimonies, and sensor data related to UAPs. The term “Immaculate Constellation” was revealed in these reports, but there is no formal confirmation from the Department of Defense regarding the existence of this specific program 

As with many extraordinary claims about government secrecy and extraterrestrial technology, the details remain unverified. The Pentagon has denied similar allegations in the past, and while there is ongoing debate in government circles about UAP transparency, no definitive evidence has emerged that confirms the existence of “Immaculate Constellation” or any similar covert program.

The UK’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) ran a secret UFO desk and conducted investigations into UFO sightings for several decades, most notably from the 1950s to 2009. This program, sometimes referred to as Project Condign, looked into UAP phenomena to assess potential threats to national security. The UK’s MoD has declassified p documents related to these sightings, though they ultimately concluded that UAPs posed no direct threat to the country.

During the Cold War, the Soviet Union took UFO sightings seriously, investigating them for potential military implications, fearing they might be advanced technologies from the U.S. or other adversaries. Programs were run under military intelligence, and there are ongoing rumors about secret research into UAPs and possible extraterrestrial technologies. Post-Soviet Russia is believed to have continued some investigations, though much of this remains speculative due to secrecy surrounding military operations.

France has been more transparent with its UFO investigations. In 1977, it established GEPAN (later renamed GEIPAN), a government agency tasked with studying UFO reports. GEIPAN is part of the French Space Agency (CNES), and it continues to investigate UAP phenomena. What makes GEIPAN unique is its commitment to public transparency, as it regularly publishes its findings.

Brazil has a long history of UFO sightings and investigations. The Brazilian government has released a significant number of classified documents related to UFO sightings over the years, most notably regarding Operation Saucer in the 1970s. This military investigation focused on UFO activity in the Amazon, specifically in the Pará region, where many witnesses reported strange aerial phenomena. Brazil’s Air Force also established a UFO reporting system called SIOANI in the 1960s.

Canada has maintained records of UFO sightings for decades, with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Department of National Defence (DND), and Transport Canada all having involvement in UFO investigations. Like the UK and France, Canada’s government declassified many UFO-related documents, showing that sightings were taken seriously, particularly in the mid-20th century.

Chile has an official organization called CEFAA (Committee for the Study of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena), under the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. This organization actively investigates UAP reports and releases information to the public. Chile’s openness about its UFO investigations has been praised, especially compared to other countries where secrecy prevails.

Countries like the UK, France, Russia, Brazil, Canada, and Chile have all had governmental or military programs investigating UFOs and UAPs, with varying degrees of secrecy and public transparency. Some, like France and Chile, have been more open in publishing their findings, while others, like Russia and the Soviet Union, maintained stricter secrecy around their investigations. The global interest in UAPs continues to drive demands for greater transparency, similar to ongoing efforts in the U.S.
