Unexplained Intrusions at Nuclear Sites Met With Silence From Department of Energy as Decades of Secrecy Face Intense Scrutiny

Following the 2015 intrusion of an unidentified diamond-shaped object over the Pantex nuclear weapons facility in Texas—recently uncovered by journalist Dustin Slaughter through a Freedom of Information Act request—the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has informed Liberation Times that it cannot confirm whether the object represented Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). 

Additionally, the NNSA, which is part of the Department of Energy (DOE) and is responsible for managing and securing the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile, could not confirm whether the then Energy Secretary, Ernest Moniz, was informed about the alarming event.

When asked for further information about the incident, an NNSA spokesperson told Liberation Times:

‘Unfortunately, we don’t have any information for you other than what was released in the FOIA documents relating to the incident.’
