What’s in the upcoming US government report on UFOs?

The blobs – captured by US Navy pilots in blurry video – appear to glide over the waves at an unpredictable speed. There is no obvious means of propulsion or lift. ‘Oh my gosh, man,’ said one pilot. ‘What is it?’

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.
