Hunt aliens like in "Star Trek"? The Pentagon's secret document revealed

A 2010 Pentagon document declassified in September 2026 reveals a theoretical study on a Warp Drive for interstellar travel. Researchers examined a spacetime distortion model but acknowledged it requires immense energy and is far from realization. Physicist Katie Clough confirmed the ideas are far from practical application.

A 2010 Pentagon document, revealed as part of the September 2026 UFO file release, discloses a theoretical study by the US military intelligence agency on developing a Warp Drive that would enable interstellar travel at speeds exceeding light. The document, written on April 2, 2010, examines physicist Miguel Alcubierre's 1994 mathematical model, which describes creating a 'warp bubble' that contracts space in front of a spacecraft and expands it behind. Researchers admitted that creating such a bubble requires enormous amounts of energy, including negative energy, and that development is far from realization. They considered using dark energy and extra dimensions but acknowledged this is speculation. Physicist Katie Clough from Queen Mary University of London confirmed the ideas are far from practical application. In contrast, NASA is developing a pulsed plasma rocket (PPR) that could enable a crewed mission to Mars in about two months. The headline is somewhat misleading, as the document does not deal with operational alien hunting but with theoretical research.
