Opinion: The Pentagon’s long hunt for UFOs – CNN

The US Office of the Director of National Intelligence recently released a report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), or UFOs, as part of a new initiative by the US intelligence community and the Pentagon. This effort aims to make sense of over 500 UFO sightings, mostly reported by US service personnel, over the past few decades.

The Pentagon has even established a new office, the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, to investigate these sightings. This office’s creation is not about aliens but rather a national security concern. If unidentified objects are flying in US airspace, they could potentially be new types of weapons deployed by adversaries like Russia or China, posing a risk to US Air Force planes and commercial aircraft.

The report found a significant increase in UFO sightings between March 2021 and August 2022, with 247 new sightings reported, mostly by US Navy and Air Force personnel. The Pentagon attributed many of these sightings to sensor irregularities, balloons, drones, and airborne clutter. However, 171 sightings remain unexplained, and some of these demonstrated unusual flight characteristics.

Key Takeaways:

• The U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence has released a report on over 500 UFO sightings, mostly reported by U.S. service personnel, as part of a push to understand these phenomena.
• The Pentagon has established a new office, the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, to investigate UFO sightings by Department of Defense personnel or members of the U.S. intelligence community, not for alien-related reasons, but to assess potential threats from unidentified objects in U.S. airspace.
• The report revealed a significant increase in UFO sightings between March 2021 and August 2022, with 247 new sightings reported, mostly by pilots or others working for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force, potentially due to reduced stigma and increased guidance to report such sightings.

“This report is part of a relatively new push by the US intelligence community and the Pentagon to try and make sense of more than 500 UFO sightings over the past couple of decades that have mostly been made by US service personnel.”
