On Aug. 4, 2020, the U.S. Department of Defense approved the establishment of an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force (UAPTF). The mission of the task force is to detect, analyze and catalog UAPs that could potentially pose a threat to U.S. national security, according to the DoD website. HowStuffWorks
There s a reason why you may be hearing a lot about UFOs lately. In June, the Pentagon and the Director of National Intelligence will present to Congress an unclassified report about unusual sightings by U.S. service members of UFOs unidentified flying objects. National security folks, however, refer to them as unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs.
Fri, 21 May 2021 03:51 UTC The former head of the US military s defunct UFO investigation agency has alleged the government holds exotic material presumably taken from an unidentified object, as Congress awaits a report on unexplained aerial phenomena.
Luis Elizondo, who led the Pentagon s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program before it was disbanded in 2012, told Fox s Tucker Carlson that the government possesses physical evidence linked to the elusive entities, more commonly known as UFOs. The United States government is in possession of exotic material, and I ll leave it at that, he said, adding that more analysis needs to be done. There s enough uniqueness about it where it demands additional analysis, additional expertise. And thankfully there are pockets in the US government that are willing to have the conversation and conduct the analysis.
