What it denies and what it leaves open
It denies the existence of a special access program registered under that name; it does not rule on the episodes described in the report, on programs under other names, or on UAP imagery held elsewhere. No specific AARO statement is on record.
- Original words
no record, present or historical, of any type of SAP
- Who disputes it
- Michael Shellenberger, his anonymous informant and, since 2025, Matthew Brown maintain that the program exists as an unacknowledged SAP; supporters read the denial by name as compatible with a program under another name.
- Concerns
- Michael Shellenberger, Matthew Brown
