UFO report: an unclassified UFO report should be released in 180 days, thanks to Covid-19’s relief and spending bill

UFO report: an unclassified UFO report should be released in 180 days, thanks to Covid-19’s relief and spending bill

Not even.

The Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Defense have just under six months to provide Congressional intelligence and armed forces committees with a non-confidential report on “unidentified aerial phenomena”.

It is a stipulation that was inserted in the “committee comments” section of the Intelligence Authorization Act for the Fiscal Year 2021, which was contained in the huge spending bill.
This report must contain detailed analyzes of UFO data and intelligence collected by the Office of Naval Intelligence, the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force and the FBI, according to the directive of the Senate intelligence committee.

It should also describe in detail “an interagency process to ensure the timely collection of data and centralized analysis of all unidentified aerial phenomena reported to the Federal Government” and designate an official responsible for this process.

Finally, the report must identify any potential national security threats posed by UFOs and assess whether any of the nation’s opponents may be behind such activity, the committee said.

The report sent should not be classified, the committee said, although it may contain a classified attachment.

A spokesman for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence confirmed the news to the fact-checking website Snopes.

Congress has long been interested in UFOs

The Pentagon released three short videos in April last year showing “unidentified aerial phenomena” – clips that the United States Navy had confirmed were real.

The videos, one from 2004 and the other two from 2015, show what appear to be unidentified flying objects moving quickly while being recorded by infrared cameras. Two of the videos contain members of the service who react with admiration at how quickly objects move. A voice speculates that it could be a drone.

Newly released incident reports detail US Navy 'UFO' encounters

It is not yet clear what the objects are and there is no consensus on their origin. Some believe that they may be drones potentially operated by ground-based adversaries who seek to gather intelligence, rather than the extraterrestrials that we normally equate with UFOs.

In August, the Pentagon announced that it was forming a task force to investigate.

Members of Congress and Pentagon officials have long been concerned about the appearance of unidentified aircraft that flew over American military bases. The Senate Intelligence Committee voted last June to have the Pentagon and the intelligence community provide a public analysis of the meetings.

But it is not the first time that the Pentagon has investigated aerial encounters with unknown objects. The Pentagon previously studied recordings of such incidents as part of a secret program launched since then at the request of former Senator Harry Reid.

This program was launched in 2007 and ended in 2012, according to the Pentagon, because it assessed that there were higher priorities that needed funding.

Former program chief Luis Elizondo told CNN in 2017 that he personally believes “there is very compelling evidence that we may not be alone”.

Ryan Browne of CNN contributed to this report.
