# No: no such programme is documented, and no one on the list is documented as working on one

There is no documentary evidence of a US programme to reverse-engineer non-human technology, and none that anyone on the list worked on such a programme; McCasland's documented UFO link is unpaid advice to Tom DeLonge's media projects.

**Still possible** Answers **1** question0

## Where it stands

**Still possible** Two pieces of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Records released under the UAP records law or by the Inspector General do not name such a programme or anyone on the list.
- The Army's agreement with DeLonge's company yields ordinary materials results or none.

## What would rule it out

- A released government record naming a retrieval or reverse-engineering programme and someone on the list as part of it.
