A metal shard of metal from Roswell crashed to Earth in the late 1940s was found in the hands of To The Stars , a UFO hunting organization.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) was asked to analyze a sample of the material in 2022 .

The material is a magnesium (Mg) alloy, mostly contains magnesium and zinc, but also contains bismuth, lead and traces of other elements.

The results of this work have been published by the ORNL in a report published.

The ORNL report comes a matter of months after the Pentagon ’s report exploring whether the US government has been covering up evidence of alien encounters and their technology since the 1940s . Like this latest report, the conclusions probably represent a disappointment or frustration for those who want to believe in alien visitation. The “truth” may indeed be out there, but that doesn’t mean you’ll like it..
