The Alien Reproduction Vehicle, or ARV, is an alleged U.S.-built antigravity saucer described by illustrator Mark McCandlish from a friend's account of a 1988 hangar viewing; no record confirms it.
The Alien Reproduction Vehicle, usually shortened to ARV and nicknamed the Flux Liner, is a claimed disc-shaped craft that the United States is said to have built using principles learned from alien technology. The story comes almost entirely from aerospace illustrator Mark McCandlish, who said he heard it from a former schoolmate, Brad Sorensen. Online, the label now also covers other rumored human-made craft derived from non-human technology, including some large black triangles.
McCandlish gave the account in December 2000 testimony for Steven Greer's Disclosure Project. He said Sorensen told him that on November 12, 1988, during an air show at Norton Air Force Base in San Bernardino, California, a client he described as a former secretary or under secretary of defense, whom McCandlish speculated was Frank Carlucci, led him into a large hangar. Behind a black curtain, McCandlish said, Sorensen saw three saucers hovering without visible support, roughly 24, 60 and 120 to 130 feet across, and a video of the smallest leaping silently out of sight. McCandlish turned the description into a cutaway drawing showing a crew compartment, radial oxygen tanks and 48 capacitor sections, which he linked to the Biefeld–Brown electrogravitic effect.
No document, photograph or official record of the craft has been produced, and the account has inconsistencies: Carlucci was still Secretary of Defense in November 1988. According to a January 2026 AltSci summary of McCandlish's final conference talk, later retellings moved the viewing to Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, and he said he never learned whether "ARV" literally meant reproduced alien technology and acknowledged lacking documents to prove the craft existed. Physicist Eric Davis said on That UFO Podcast in 2026 that he believes the story is a fabrication. McCandlish passed away in 2021.
The term revived in 2026. Posts in August 2026 summarizing remarks by the UAP whistleblower Matthew Brown said he had described "ARV" in material tied to the alleged Immaculate Constellation program as meaning alien reproduction vehicle, and that he had not known of McCandlish before going to Congress; the government has not acknowledged that program. A 2026 Reddit essay framed an "ARV hypothesis" in which the United States moved from recovering craft to building its own, while conceding that recovery allegations do not establish an operational American ARV. McCandlish's cutaway remains the best-known image of a human-built flying saucer, and ARV has become disclosure shorthand for the claim that reverse engineering of recovered craft succeeded.
Jay Stratton: "I have seen nonhuman beings and nonhuman craft with my own eyes." 🛸👽 As former Chief of Air and Space Warfare at the Defense Intelligence Agency, Stratton recounts a video of a black triangle UAP over nuclear missile silos with no wings, tail, exhaust, or visible propulsion of any kind, as if the fundamental laws of physics simply didn’t apply. It was flying in ways and demonstrating capabilities that exceed ours. He stated this is a threat because it exceeds our capabilities...
The Alien Reproduction Vehicle (ARV) hypothesis proposes that the United States progressed from recovering anomalous craft to building its own: Recovery → custody → exploitation → activation → derivation → reproduction → operational deployment → sustained testing and logistics Recovery allegations, activation claims, and accounts of human-operated unconventional vehicles do not establish an operational American ARV. Date claims by when they became public. A 1992 event first described in 2025...
The video presents an alternative interpretation of modern physics called substrate relativity. It argues that while Albert Einstein provided highly successful mathematical equations for special and general relativity, the common understanding of those equations as describing a relative spacetime without any underlying medium is a philosophical choice rather than an experimental necessity. The one way speed of light has never been directly measured, only the round trip average, so Einstein’s...
Public whistleblower testimony implies ignorance to the exotic nature of the observed technologies; meanwhile, internal terminology suggests significant human progress in reverse engineering these technologies.

The Alien Reproduction Vehicle hypothesis proposes that the United States progressed beyond recovering anomalous craft and learned to activate, imitate, or manufacture vehicles using related principles: Recovery → custody → exploitation → activation → derivation → reproduction → operational deployment → sustained testing and logistics The public record contains serious allegations of recovered hardware, weaker claims of partial activation, and accounts of apparently human-operated unconventio...

This also seems like a great opportunity to recirculate my article from April 2025: 'The page that came afterwards, according to Brown, details “a collection incident in the Pacific Ocean” at night off the coast of Kamchatka, involving “several Russian naval intelligence vessels.” 'One slide includes a still colour image, which shows, according to Brown, “a large black triangle floating in the air.”' https://t.co/ioSxapBvqn [Quoted] @technopopulist Why have they never landed in Africa, Austra...
This #UAP footage may be among the most consequential the public has never seen. Two classified videos captured the same 100-foot black triangle over a Colorado military base. The government still won’t release them. https://t.co/9q74X0Whyt
