Energy Department labs as analysts claim — Eric Davis says Energy Department labs analyzed UAP materials for another owner.
In 2021, physicist Eric Davis said that the Energy Department doesn't own any UFO material, but that its national laboratories had analysed some for the material's "owner" under interagency payment arrangements, in which one agency pays another for technical services.
The claim implies that UAP material, if it exists, belongs to another agency or a contractor, and that the Energy Department's labs, with their unmatched expertise in materials and nuclear physics, were used as analysts.
Davis gave no documents to support the claim. It fits the broader pattern of his statements and David Grusch's later testimony, and contrasts with AARO's 2024 conclusion that it found no evidence of recovered non-human material.
