Image of an unidentified flying object Is that a bird? An airplane? Drones? Or something extraterrestrial? The US government has been scrutinizing these unidentified flying objects. A report summarizing what the US knows about “unidentified flying objects” – aka UFOs – is expected to be published in June. However, contrary to many people’s expectations, no “alien” will appear. Two unnamed officials briefed on the report said they had found no information about a UFO connection to extraterrestrials. According to the two officials, the report does not rule out a link between the flying objects and another country. Prior to that, because of concerns about the threat to national security, congressmen pushed for investigation and public reporting of mysterious phenomena that the US government did not want to talk about for generations. At the request of Congress, the Director of National Intelligence is required to submit a consolidated report from multiple agencies within 180 days. This deadline is coming to an end. However, the intelligence office did not specify when the report was released. Republican Senator Marco Rubio (Florida), one of the senators pushing for the investigation, told Fox News : “These are flying in our airspace. We don’t know what it is. We need to find out.” “There are a lot of unanswered questions right now,” Democratic Representative Adam Schiff (California) said NBC . “If other countries have certain devices that we don’t know about, we’d love to find out. Or if there is some other explanation, we would also like to know.” Luis Elizondo, former head of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, said he does not believe the unidentified objects are the technological product of a foreign power, in part. because almost no country can keep this kind of secret. “We live in an incredible universe,” says Elizondo. There are many theories that the three-dimensional universe – where we live – has many things that cannot be explained.” But Michael Shermer, editor of Skeptic magazine, is skeptical. Longtime analyst of UFO theories and other phenomena, says he has seen too many blurry images of alleged encounters with aliens. However, Shermer notes that now several billion people around the world have smartphones that take sharp pictures, and satellites can accurately display every detail on the ground. “90% to 95% of UFOs detected are actually weather balloons, flares, secret military planes, birds reflecting the sun, planes reflecting sunlight, meteors, space junk , satellites, lightning balls, ice crystals reflecting light from clouds, or light reflected in the cockpit windows…” “Show me alien bodies, show me spaceships or show me really high quality videos and photos,” he said in an interview. “That’s how I believe it.” “We need proof rather than noisy videos and blurry photos. Because this would be one of the most unbelievable claims ever, if it proves aliens are real. .” Pilots and skywatchers have long reported sightings of UFOs in US airspace. These UFOs often have unusual speeds or orbits. In 1960, the CIA reported that 6,500 objects had been reported to the US Air Force over the previous 13 years. However, the air force concluded that there was no evidence that these objects were related to “interplanetary spacecraft”. Some people who research the topic say the US government often “restricts mentioning or lying about things that cannot be explained.” However, retired Air Force Colonel Richard Weaver insists that the government does not have the authority and capacity to cover up the encounter with aliens. “Even if it’s hard for us to keep it a secret, how can we build a conspiracy theory like that,” Weaver said. In December 2017, a turning point happened when New York Times revealed the Pentagon has a five-year project to investigate UFOs. The Pentagon later released a video showing military pilots confronting fuzzy objects they could not identify. In 2019, the US Navy announced it would create a formal process for its pilots to report unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs. Last August, the US Department of Defense established a task force, tasked with “detecting, analyzing, and cataloging UAPs” that may pose a danger to the United States. In an age of increasingly sophisticated drones, the US military’s theory leans more towards adversary equipment, rather than aliens. However, the creation of the task force is seen as a rare admission from the government that UFOs pose a national security concern.

Although there is not enough evidence to conclude whether these flying objects are from another planet, some videos and images of UFOs have been confirmed by the US military to be real. This information not only interests the community interested in extraterrestrial life, but also raises questions about the information the Pentagon holds about UFOs. The US has repeatedly recorded reports of mysterious flying objects appearing in military airspace.

According to CNN’s source, the US will soon announce how the Pentagon handles information about unidentified flying object encounters. What are UFOs? UFO is a flying object whose shape and movement are completely different from all types of aircraft that man-made. Many theories suggest that they are technological products from extraterrestrials, but so far the true nature of UFOs remains a mystery. Last month, the Pentagon officially confirmed that some images and videos recorded by the US Navy were genuine. In 2017, a former US Navy pilot claimed to have seen an unidentified flying object in 2004. This person said the object believed to be a UFO had a very strange way of moving. “ When I got close, it quickly accelerated south and disappeared in less than 2 seconds “, said retired pilot David Fravor. Video taken by US Navy soldiers in 2019 shows flashing triangular objects moving through clouds. Several other images also provided by the Navy show three spherical metal-like objects flying in the sky. In April 2020, the Pentagon released three videos from infrared cameras showing flying objects moving at very fast speeds in the air. According to Pentagon spokesman Sue Gough, the Navy acknowledged the veracity of the videos released in 2019 months before they were released “to clear up public doubt as to whether the videos were released in 2019. Is it real or not?” UFO is a flying object whose shape and movement are completely different from all types of aircraft that man-made. (Photo: The New Yorker) Are aliens real? The US government’s recognition of UFOs as real leads to the question: Are aliens real? Luis Elizondo, former director of the Department of Defense (DoD) research program, once said: “ There is compelling evidence that we may not be alone (in the universe). “. “ These planes – we call them airplanes for now – have features that cannot be found in American equipment or in any foreign technology that we know of. “, said Mr. Elizondo. But whether UFOs are alien vehicles or a human product, they are still of interest to the US government. Because the problem of handling unidentified flying object information is also related to ensuring that all potential risks to the national security of the United States are taken seriously. Whether that threat comes from space or not. “ Whether it’s weather balloons, green aliens or something else – we can’t ask our pilots to put their lives unnecessarily at risk. “. Rachel Cohen, spokeswoman for Democratic Senator of Virginia Mark Warner, speaking about UFOs in 2019. UFOs have features that cannot be found in American equipment or in any foreign technology.

While UFO experts applaud the recent moves by the US government, many remain skeptical of the content of the upcoming unidentified flying object reports. This suspicion stems from the Pentagon’s indifference to previous UFO reports. Many times, the community interested in this issue received only the vague answer that the appearance of flying objects was “unexplainable”. Therefore, they believe that the new report will not provide complete and comprehensive information about UFOs. Last month, Mr. Elizondo said that the “best case scenario” is that the new report only outlines the issue and offers the promise of “another, more detailed report” in the future. “ Unfortunately, what we don’t know outweighs what we do know. But the good news is that we’re finally getting serious about it “, said Mr. Elizondo. The Pentagon has set up a panel to explore the “nature and origin of unidentified flying objects”.

The program began in 2007 and ended in 2012 as the US Department of Defense assessed that funding for more important projects should be prioritized. Following the program, the Pentagon established a topic to explore “the nature and origin of unidentified flying objects” by 2020, according to the US Department of Defense. Topics include videos of UFOs recognized last month. Up to now, the truth about UFOs, or the question of whether or not aliens exist, remains a secret from the public.
