Jason Simpkins' Wealth Daily promotion, sold through Angel Publishing, calls it the "UAP Defense Contractor." We identify the company and test the UAP claims.
The copy says this company operates across 33 military bases, seven NASA facilities and five federal research labs. It also claims the business went public quietly through an IPO about a year ago, while tying it to a craft patent that supposedly reduces inertial mass, avoids sonic booms and leaves no heat signature.
The stock is identified below: Amentum Holdings, Inc. (AMTM). Confidence is 78 out of 100. The government-services clues line up well, but the patent connection is much shakier than the headline suggests.
The identifying trail is unusually specific: Manhattan Project-era predecessor work, a government-services business assembled through major mergers, a September 2024 public debut, and a UAP hook built around the phrase “craft using an inertial mass reduction device.” Those details narrow the field quickly.
The same idea is also branded as “Energy Cube” by Behind the Markets, where Dylan Jovine is teasing the same stock. Different label, same underlying company.
The answer is Amentum Holdings, Inc. (AMTM). Its 10-K says predecessor companies provided environmental-management support following the Manhattan Project during World War II. The filing also documents Amentum's formation from AECOM's Management Services business, the DynCorp and PAE acquisitions, and the 2024 Jacobs merger. That is the promotional breadcrumb trail in corporate form.
The September 2024 debut fits too, although the SEC describes it as a tax-efficient Reverse Morris Trust transaction involving Jacobs, with NYSE trading beginning on September 30. That is a reverse-merger listing, not a conventional IPO.
The strongest technology clue is also the biggest disconnect. Google Patents lists US10144532B2, “Craft using an inertial mass reduction device,” as a U.S. Navy patent associated with inventor Salvatore Pais. It is not assigned to Amentum. The company match is credible; the claim that Amentum owns or filed the exotic technology is not established.
The claim-by-claim checks below separate what Amentum's filings and public pages support from what they do not establish. They also compare the promotion's language with the actual Navy patent and the SEC's account of Amentum's public debut.
| The promotion claims | Verdict | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| The company has roots going back to the Manhattan Project. | Overstated | Amentum’s 10-K says its predecessor companies provided environmental-management support following the Manhattan Project during World War II, but it does not say Amentum originated in the project. |
| It spent decades staying off the radar through mergers, acquisitions, and name changes. | Overstated | Amentum’s 10-K documents its 2020 formation from AECOM’s Management Services business, the DynCorp and PAE acquisitions, and the 2024 Jacobs merger, but the record does not establish decades of deliberate secrecy or a long series of name changes. |
| It runs operations on at least 33 military bases. | Can't verify | Amentum’s space-and-range page cites operations on 11 of 23 DoD-designated Major Range Test Facility Bases, while its training materials list multiple installations but do not establish a total of at least 33 military bases. |
| It runs operations on seven NASA facilities. | Contradicted | NASA’s Artemis II Reference Guide describes Amentum support at six facilities, not seven, although it confirms a substantial Amentum role across NASA missions. |
| It runs operations on five federal research labs. | Can't verify | Amentum’s public pages name Lawrence Livermore, Fermilab, Idaho National Laboratory, and Los Alamos National Laboratory, but they do not establish the promoted total of five federal research labs. |
| Its recent patent filings describe a craft using an inertial mass reduction device. | Contradicted | Google Patents lists US10144532B2, titled “Craft using an inertial mass reduction device,” as a U.S. Navy patent associated with inventor Salvatore Pais; it was filed in 2016 and is not assigned to Amentum. |
| The patented vehicle behaves as though it weighs almost nothing. | Checks out | The Navy patent says it may be possible to reduce a craft’s inertial mass and hence gravitational mass, enabling less-labored motion and extreme speeds, which supports the promotion’s paraphrase. |
| The patented vehicle produces no sonic boom. | Can't verify | The Navy patent discusses a vacuum plasma bubble or sheath and easier movement through air, space, and water, but it does not state that the craft produces no sonic boom. |
| The patented vehicle has no heat signature. | Can't verify | The Navy patent does not state that the craft has no heat or infrared signature; that conclusion is an interpretation of its claimed plasma-sheath mechanism rather than a stated patent result. |
| The company went public about a year ago, quietly, through an IPO. | Contradicted | The SEC reported that Amentum became public on September 27, 2024 through a tax-efficient Reverse Morris Trust involving Jacobs, with NYSE trading beginning September 30; this was not a conventional IPO. |

We previously identified three Jason Simpkins promotions. “Uber Air” mapped to Joby Aviation, down 21.99% since we revealed it; “Galactic Supply Chain” mapped to Rocket Lab, down 13.72%; and “Golden Dome Riches” mapped to Mercury Systems, down 23.29%. That is a small sample, not a verdict, but it is useful context for the latest pitch.
Amentum is also being teased elsewhere as “Energy Cube” by Behind the Markets and Dylan Jovine. Readers encountering both campaigns are looking at the same company under two different promotional names.
The promotion's central claim is simple: Washington's UAP secrecy is cracking open, a Navy patent reveals extraordinary craft technology, and a quietly public defense contractor is positioned close to it. The first two pieces contain a real paper trail. The third is where the argument breaks.
The Navy patent really does discuss reducing a craft's inertial and gravitational mass. But it belongs to the Navy, not Amentum, and the checked disclosures do not connect Amentum to its development or ownership. That is the load-bearing leap in the pitch, and it has no visible bridge.
The supporting numbers wobble too. Amentum's space-and-range page cites operations on 11 of 23 DoD-designated Major Range Test Facility Bases, not the promoted 33 military bases. NASA's Artemis II Reference Guide describes support at six facilities, not seven. The 10-K supports a substantial government-services history, but not decades of deliberate secrecy. The story keeps reaching for a cloak when the filings mostly show a large contractor doing government work.
Amentum can still be judged on its ordinary merits as a defense, space and government-services company. That may be a legitimate investment question. The UAP thesis is something else: a Navy patent-shaped cloud wrapped around a disclosed business, with the crucial company connection missing.
How confident are we? 78 out of 100. We identified Amentum Holdings, Inc. (AMTM) from the promotion's own clues and checked 10 of its claims against filings, earnings calls, ownership records, market data and public reporting. This is our analysis, not the publisher's disclosure — we have no relationship with them.
Knowing which stock it is only gets you halfway. We score AMTM on valuation, profitability, growth, financial health and momentum — and reach our own conclusion, independent of how it was sold to you.
