CARET

Alleged extraterrestrial technology research program

CONCEPT UAP Research Also: Commercial Applications Research for Extraterrestrial Technology, Palo Alto CARET Laboratory

01 Executive_Summary

CARET (Commercial Applications Research for Extraterrestrial Technology) is anonymous web-circulated material claiming to document a Palo Alto research laboratory studying alien technology. Public evidence strongly undermines its authenticity, including an artist publicly describing fabrication or misuse of her artwork.

03 Deep_Dive_Intelligence

CARET material circulated online claiming to document a classified program at a Palo Alto laboratory studying extraterrestrial technology. The material included technical-looking documents and photographs of drones. Public evidence strongly undermines its authenticity. Artist Margaret Gel publicly described fabrication or misuse of her artwork in connection with the CARET material. No government authentication of the CARET material has been found. The material should be treated as anonymous, web-circulated content lacking government authentication, not as verified evidence of an actual program.
