The United States’ Office of the Director of National Intelligence has released its 2022 Annual Report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs). The report reveals that there have been 366 additional UAP reports since the 2021 Annual Report, which had recorded 144 instances over the previous 17 years. Of these new reports, 26 were identified as Unmanned Aircraft Systems, 163 as balloon-like entities, and 6 as birds, weather events, or airborne debris. However, 171 of the reported flying objects remain unidentified. Notably, an amendment to the congressional spending bill now requires the Defense Department to review all budgetary documents involving UAPs dating back to 1945, including any spending related to the infamous Roswell Incident.
Key Takeaways:
