On May 16, the US current affairs digest 60 Minutes put out a sensational tweet trailing its next edition. “After decades of public denial, the Pentagon now admits the existence of unidentified aerial phenomena - or UAP - more commonly known as UFO,” it read. “And the Senate wants answers.”
It was difficult not to hear Orson Welles’ voice in your internal monologue. Harder still to comprehend that the headline actually meant what it said. But yes; the Pentagon really has revealed that there’s strange stuff in the sky that they can’t explain. The admission followed the formation, in 2020, of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force. The mission of the task force is to detect, analyze and catalog UAPs that could potentially pose a threat to U.S. national security, explained the then-U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense, David Norquist.
