Senior military authorities claimed on Friday that despite the Pentagon’s renewed efforts to look into UFO reports, there is still no proof that aliens had visited Earth or crashed-landed here.
But they claim that the Pentagon’s efforts to look into strange, unidentified objects, whether they are in space, the air, or even underwater, have generated hundreds of fresh reports that are currently being looked into.
However, they have not yet observed anything that suggests intelligent alien life.
Sean Kirkpatrick, the newly appointed director of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), said he was approaching the investigation scientifically and did not completely rule out the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
“Let me simply say that our analysis is being structured to be very thorough and rigorous. Kirkpatrick, addressing at the first press conference since AARO was founded in July, stated, “We will go through it all.
And because I’m a physicist, I have to follow the scientific process, therefore I’ll go wherever the data and research lead.
The goal of AARO is to assist in identifying potential risks to the safety of U.S. military operations and to national security. The organization’s mission is to focus on unexplained activity around military sites, restricted airspace, and “other areas of interest.”
More than 140 instances of what the U.S. military officially refers to as “unidentified aerial phenomena,” or UAPs, were documented in a government report from last year.
All but one of the listed sightings, which was believed to be a big balloon that was deflating, remain unexplained and need more investigation, according to the study.
The research determined that there is insufficient information regarding the remaining 143 cases to determine whether they reflect some unusual aerial system built by the U.S. government, a private company, or a foreign power like China or Russia.
The Pentagon previously published video of some mysterious, unidentified flying objects (UAPs), which demonstrate speed and manoeuvrability beyond that of known aircraft technology while being devoid of any discernible flight-control surfaces or propulsion mechanisms, was included in the 2021 report.
Since then, several hundred more cases have been reported, according to Kirkpatrick. The precise number will be made public soon, but a senior Navy official claimed in May that there had already been 400 documented cases overall.
In the defence policy package it enacted this week, Congress focused on the latest Pentagon initiative. The law, which President Joe Biden has not yet signed, directs the Pentagon to compile a report on the government of the United States’ track record in relation to UFOs, or unexplained flying objects, dating back to 1945.
Project Blue Book, a prior Air Force study that was shut down in 1969, collected a list of 12,618 sightings, 701 of which were objects that were officially classified as “unidentified.”
The Air Force claimed in 1994 to have finished its investigation into the “Roswell incident” of 1947 in New Mexico. It claimed that elements found close to Roswell were compatible with a crashed balloon, which has long been the military’s interpretation, and that there was no evidence of the discovery of alien bodies or extraterrestrial materials.
