The 'Deep State' exists and it knows all about aliens and UFOs, US official claims

There is a 'deep state' and the Pentagon could be hiding information about alien life and UFOs says one Government official, who spoke out about alien disclosure
The article discusses claims by Christopher Mellon, a former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, who asserts that a secretive group within the US government, often referred to as the "deep state," has been involved in the study of UFOs and extraterrestrial life for decades. Mellon, who has worked with the Senate Intelligence Committee, suggests that this group operates with significant autonomy, possibly even from the President, and has amassed a wealth of information on UFOs, including physical evidence like materials from crashed crafts. He believes that this secretive operation has been ongoing since at least the 1940s, with the government's interest in UFOs being driven by national security concerns. Mellon's revelations come at a time when there is increasing public and official interest in UFOs, highlighted by recent Congressional hearings and the establishment of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) to investigate these phenomena.
