There may be a reason why there are so many UFO sightings lately. In this revealing video, a UFO expert has claimed that factions within the US Military are experimenting with alien technology that they have retrieved from crashed, shot down or captured extraterrestrial vehicles.

Michael Schratt claims that most crashed UAPs(unidentified aerial phenomena) aren’t alien in origin but are instead US-manufactured prototypes that are based on UFOs.

“Why do so many alien spacecraft crash,” Schratt said rhetorically before making his claims about the US Military’s reverse engineering programs. Some crashes, the outspoken alien enthusiast said, occurred because of the US deliberately attacking aliens.

Schratt’s claims tally with UFO whistleblower David Grusch’s revelation that the US government has been retrieving and reverse engineering crashed alien craft since the 1930s. The reason for this, according to Grusch, is for the country to remain in pole position in an arms race.

“There is a rogue element of the military-industrial complex that is targeting, tracking and shooting these things down to exploit their propulsion systems, weapons systems and free energy systems applications – that’s I think what we’re dealing with here,” he said on the Disclosure Team podcast.

Scratt said he believes that the alien’s anti-gravity propulsion system may have been duplicated by US scientists over 70 years ago. “The witness testimony from military witnesses is telling us that they have made a breakthrough, that we do have man-made ‘UFOs’ and that at the very latest the breakthrough was made in October 1954,” he said.

Michael says he picked this point in time because research into the idea seemed to stop after this point. “Even that’s a very conservative number I’m sure the number goes earlier back in time but we can pinpoint the divide where it diverged to October 1954,” he mused.
