The material was of particular interest to the UFO community because it was allegedly a piece of debris from the object that crashed near Roswell, New Mexico back in 1947.

Now, the results of the lab's analysis has finally been published.

"This specimen has been publicly alleged to be a component recovered from a crashed extraterrestrial vehicle in 1947, and purportedly exhibits extraordinary properties, such as functioning as a terahertz waveguide to generate antigravity capabilities," AARO wrote in a press release."Considering all available evidence, AARO assesses that this specimen is likely a test object, a manufacturing product or byproduct, or a material component of aerospace performance studies to evaluate the properties of [magnesium] alloys."

In other words, there's nothing about it that suggests it has extraterrestrial origins.

"Although the origin, chain of custody, and ultimate purpose of this specimen remain unclear, a modern and robust analysis of its chemical and structural composition and properties does not indicate that its origin is non-terrestrial," Oak Ridge Laboratory wrote in its report.

"Nor do the data indicate that the material examined ever had the pure single-crystalline bismuth layer that could possibly have acted as a terahertz waveguide."

So while the findings don't necessarily rule out the possibility that the material is from an extraterrestrial spacecraft, as things stand there is no evidence to suggest that it is either.
