National security experts have issued a warning regarding the potential for an international arms race centred on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) technology. During a forum in Washington on 25 June, speakers argued that the United States lacks a coherent strategy for the possibility that China or Russia might already possess and study recovered craft.
Marik von Rennenkampff, a former UAP analyst who served in the Department of State and the Department of Defence, described the current policy vacuum as the height of irresponsibility. He stated that the national security establishment must prepare for the scenario where a rival power achieves a breakthrough in reverse-engineering these objects.
