After half a year of anticipation and a slew of very high profile incidents involving military
ships and aircraft, the Pentagon has finally released a congressionally mandated report
on unidentified flying objects.
And what's inside the report has sent shockwaves around the world.
Keep watching, as we unpack the entire recently released UFO report page by page.
Shortly after World War II UFO sightings began to explode across the world.
World War II pilots themselves had reported UFOs as well, nicknaming them Foo Fighters,
but UFOs went mainstream after several high profile incidents in the late 1940s and 1950s.
The first was Kenneth Arnold's UFO sighting, where he spotted multiple flying discs in
formation moving several hundred miles an hour faster than his aircraft was capable
of.
Then there was the alleged Roswell crash, which while has been thoroughly debunked by
now, still served to spark the public's imagination.
Then came the UFO invasion of Washington D.C., with multiple bright objects spotted hovering
over the nation's capital.
The US military was immediately tasked with getting to the bottom of the UFO phenomenon,
leading to the creation of several investigative bodies that culminated with Project Bluebook.
An official, and all-encompassing investigation into the UFO phenomenon, Project Bluebook
was canceled in 1969 after analyzing over 12,000 UFO reports.
Its final conclusion was stark: no UFO the project investigated ever posed a threat to
national security, no UFO investigated ever exhibited technology beyond the scope of what
was at the time modern scientific knowledge, and there was no evidence that any sighting
that remained unidentified was in fact extraterrestrial in origin.
Yet Project Blue Book did generate just over 700 incidents that the investigative body
could not explain.
Some of those incidents were truly hair-raising and included numerous highly credible witnesses,
such as the encounter of a UFO over a CIA-funded uranium mine in Africa, reported by a former
World War 2 fighter pilot who was deemed extremely competent by the CIA agents sent to debrief
him.
Or the numerous reports of hovering UFOs over American nuclear weapons storage depots and
missile fields, with positive contact on local radar and multiple on the ground eyewitnesses
amongst the security and maintenance personnel.
Perhaps even more chillingly, shortly after the Cold War ended and the Iron Curtain around
eastern europe fell, came the discovery that extremely similar incidents had been occurring
in Soviet missile fields and nuclear facilities as well.
Officially the government stopped investigating UFOs.
Unofficially, small internal investigations took place throughout the years as the UFO
phenomenon continued to be reported by both civilians and military personnel- though these
investigations were more concerned with discovering advanced Russian or Chinese technology and
not aliens.
Then in the early 2010s, Nevada Senator Harry Reid secured funding for an unidentified aerial
phenomenon program tasked with investigating UFO reports.
This would lead to the leaking of several pieces of very high profile video as US fighter
jets encountered strange flying objects off the east and west coasts.
Then came a shocking discovery earlier this year- while it was believed that the UAP program
had been terminated, the US military had recently re-started an unacknowledged investigation
into the phenomenon.
Early in 2021, the US congress mandated that the Pentagon had six months to prepare a report
on its findings on the UAP phenomenon, and that it should be as unclassified as possible
so it would be readily available to the American people.
A separate, classified copy of the report does exist, but that's only because this copy
of the report deals with the technical details of America's most advanced weapon and sensor
systems.
So what does the Pentagon's UFO report say?
First, this is only a preliminary report, as the Department of Defense Unidentified
Aerial Phenomena Task Force continues to operate and investigate the UAP phenomenon.
The report begins with an acknowledgment as such, and states that the Pentagon's future
goals is to enhance training of US military personnel so that they can better report encounters
with UAPs and thus help American intelligence services assess a potential threat.
This likely means that after decades of discouraging soldiers, airmen, sailors, and marines from
reporting strange things in the sky, a much more open culture of sharing UAP incidents
will be created to facilitate the job of the UAP task force.
Interestingly, the report also acknowledges that there will be a concerted effort to develop
new technologies for the documenting of UAPs.
Before moving on, the report states that overwhelmingly sensors which have captured UAP analyzed by
the task force were assumed to be operating correctly, though there is an acknowledgment
that some UAP incidents could be attributed to malfunctioning sensors.
Next, in the executive summary the report makes a very clear declaration that the UAP
task force simply lacked enough high-quality reporting to draw a firm conclusion on the
nature or intent of UAPs.
Due to a culture that discouraged service members from reporting UAPs, as well as a
lack of high-tech sensor assets, the task force had to limit their investigation to
reports between 2004 and 2021, and acknowledges that a new system of reporting UAP needs to
be established to better assist investigators in their task of discovering the nature and
intent of UAPs.
Shockingly though, the report then makes the following conclusion: Most of the UAP reported
probably do represent physical objects given that a majority of UAP were registered across
multiple sensors, to include radar, infrared, electro-optical, weapon seekers, and visual
observation.
What this means is that a significant portion of UAPs investigated by the task force were
deemed to be real, physical objects, verified by their observation across several different
mediums of detection simultaneously.
So much for glowing swamp gas.
The report moves on to acknowledge what UFO eyewitnesses have been stating for years,
that in a small number of incidents investigated the UAP exhibited very unusual flight characteristics.
One recent US Navy encounter for instance, documented on radar, showed several UAPs plummeting
from 50,000 feet to sea level in seconds, before shooting back up to even greater heights.
According to the UAP task force, UAPs could likely be resolved to one of five categories:
airborne clutter, natural atmospheric phenomenon, US government and US industry developmental
programs, foreign adversary systems, and the catchall ''other”.
The task force is of course mostly interested in the final two categories- foreign adversary
systems and “other”, as both could pose a significant threat to the United States
of America.
The report goes on to state that UAPs without a doubt pose a safety risk to both military
and civilian flight, and a challenge to US national security.
If UAPs are alien in origin, then that would be an obvious threat to not just the US, but
global security.
However, the task force is most concerned with the possibility that UAPs are evidence
that a potential adversary has developed a breakthrough or disruptive technology which
the United States does not understand and cannot counter.
Given how the United States has used both breakthrough and disruptive technologies in
war to devastating effect against its adversaries, the fear of such a technology being employed
against the US is understandably great.
The report moves past the executive summary and into the details of the six month investigation.
Right off the bat, the UAP task force tackles the greatest challenge that it faced in completing
its investigation: namely that reports were hardly ever formally filed by UAP witnesses.
This is due to a variety of reasons, such as the lack of formal reporting procedures
for UAP phenomenon, which changed with the Navy adopting said procedures in 2019 and
the Air Force in 2020.
In the future, the UAP task force is hopeful that improved reporting procedures will lead
to better quality reports.
However, the task force's greatest difficulty in collecting good data was something that
UFO witnesses have known for decades- eyewitnesses of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon hardly,
if ever, spoke up about their experience for fear of ridicule or ostracization.
The task force's report though states that as senior military, government, and scientific
leadership begins to engage in the topic publicly, the stigma of reporting strange encounters
should lessen, leading to better data collected.
Another difficulty the task force encountered was that despite having very sophisticated
sensors, sensor systems in the US military are typically designed to fulfill very specific
roles- and that often means they are not very useful for identifying UAPs.
This is likely why the report began with an acknowledgment that new technologies needed
to be developed for the specific purpose of investigating UAPs.
The report moves on to state that the reports investigated had too little data to allow
for detailed trend or pattern analysis.
However, there was a noticeable consistency in the size, shape, and propulsion of UAPs.
This is a stunning conclusion, as if UAPs were merely the figments of one's imagination,
or random natural phenomenon, there would not be a strong consistency in the way UAPs
look, how big they are, and how fast they move.
The report goes on to state that UAP sightings also tend to be cluttered around US military
training and testing grounds.
This goes hand-in-hand with the theory long held that whatever they are, UAPs are very
interested in the state of our military technology.
Or it could be an indicator that these are very much foreign adversary systems, being
used to spy on US forces.
However, the task force acknowledges that this cluttering of UAP sightings around US
military training and testing grounds could simply be due to collection bias, as those
areas have a high concentration of sophisticated sensors and an expectation and guidance by
personnel involved to report any anomaly.
Now the report drops another bombshell.
Out of the hundreds of incidents investigated thus far, the task force identified 18 incidents
where UAPs were witnessed performing aerial maneuvers that would signify advanced technology
was in use.
These UAPs were recorded hovering in place, moving against the wind, performing extremely
abrupt changes in speed or direction, and displaying extremely high velocities, without
any known means of propulsion.
In a small number of these incidents, US aircraft also detected radio frequency energy emanating
from the objects.
Some of the UAPs observed also displayed some degree of signature management- or the purposeful
manipulation of their own electromagnetic emissions.
In modern militaries, signature management is a critical era of warfighting, with friendly
forces doing their best to screen their electromagnetic signatures from adversaries while making them
identifiable to allies.
This would imply that UAPs are employing the same form of electromagnetic security measures
that modern, Earth-bound militaries do.
The task force states that more rigorous examination of the collected data by experts is necessary
to ascertain if this is in fact what UAPs have been recorded doing or not, and ends
this section by stating that the UAPTF will continue further analysis to determine if
these incidents are proof of breakthrough technologies.
From here, the report once more states that more data is required to determine the identity
of UAP incidents investigated, with special attention needed on those incidents where
UAPs are shown to display flight characteristics which would be indicative of breakthrough
technologies, or signature management- which would be indicative of intelligent control
over an artificial object.
In their investigation, the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force was not able to attribute
any of the incidents investigated to classified US weapons programs.
The report moves on to declare that UAPs pose a definitive threat to flight operations,
and could be a potential national security risk.
In 11 instances, pilots reported near misses with UAPs.
Touching on the potential for UAPs posing a national security threat, the report states
that the task force has initiated an effort to identify any potential technological breakthroughs
by potential adversaries- namely, China and Russia.
This likely means that significant US intelligence resources are also being redirected to the
effort, as now the intelligence community joins the hunt to explain UAPs.
Given the proximity of UAP to US military facilities, and to aircraft carrying the military's
most advanced sensor systems, the report seems to indicate that a high priority should be
placed on discovering if a potential adversary has in fact developed and fielded a disruptive
or breakthrough technology.
Because if they have, it's clear the US military is all but powerless to counter it.
Finally, the report ends with a call for more resources and better reporting procedures
across the American government and military of UAPs.
So does the US military believe that alien UFOs are cruising the skies above our heads?
Simply put, no.
But the report does acknowledge that a significant number of credible UFO incidents investigated
by the UAP task force display instances of technology that would be beyond the scope
of what is currently possible.
The UAPTF's greatest concern however remains that it's not aliens, but a potential adversary,
which is flying close to our most sensitive military installations, and we are all but
helpless to stop it.
