A new intelligence report sent to Congress on Friday concludes that virtually all of the 144 sightings of unidentified flying objects documented by the military since 2004 are of unknown origin, in an extremely rare public accounting of the U.S. government’s data on UFOs that is likely to fuel further speculation about phenomena the intelligence community has long struggled to understand.
After a long wait, we’re finally able to set our eyes on the much anticipated UFO intelligence report from the government. Did the report hold up to the hype that was generated around it? No. In fact, I’ve thought for a few weeks leading up to this report that this was getting overblown to some degree and my suspicion was confirmed after reading the 9 page document.
If you recall, it was back in December 2020 when then President Trump tucked into the US coronavirus relief bill a 180 day countdown for the government to disclose what they know concerning UFOs (or what they’ve termed as UAPs – Unidentified Aerial Phenomena).
Since then many of us have been curious as to what exactly they planned to release to the general public. After reading the document I came to discover that what was presented was nothing new. To sum it up the 3 main points I got from it were that:
- They don’t know what these UAPs are
- The UAPs pose a threat to national security
- They’ll continue looking into the matter
So essentially, there was nothing new or groundbreaking other than the fact that such a report was published in the first place. Or at least that’s how I see it. This could however serve as a foundation for more information to come out in the future or just serve to slowly ease the general public to get used to this which of course many of us could factor into a greater deception involving the rapture.
Think about it this way, in less than a decade we went from this being a fringe “conspiracy theory” topic to it making mainstream news and now the government has published a report on it. That, in and of itself should speak volumes to the times we find ourselves in.
Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence submitted to Congress a preliminary report regarding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) that relays the progress the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force has made in understanding UAP. Read the full report
Government report can’t explain UFOs, but offers no evidence of aliens
Politico: The report — the government’s first unclassified assessment in half a century — does not offer any definitive answers on who or what may be operating a variety of aircraft that, in some cases, appear to defy known characteristics of aerodynamics, and that officials believe pose a threat to national security and flight safety.
The Pentagon, assisted by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, found no evidence to indicate that they mark a technological breakthrough by a foreign adversary, or that the objects are of an extraterrestrial origin — though neither explanation has been ruled out in what has been described as a preliminary assessment that lacks sufficient data.
“Of the 144 data points … we have no clear indications that there is any non-terrestrial explanation for them. But we will go wherever the data takes us on this,” a senior U.S. government official said.
The report speculates about several possible explanations, ranging from natural phenomena to new developmental aircraft to what is simply referred to as “other” — a classification that encompasses a range of potential realities, including the possibility that at least some of the encounters defy simple, earthbound explanations.
“[Unexplainable sightings] pose a hazard to safety of flight and could pose a broader danger if some instances represent sophisticated collection against U.S. military activities by a foreign government or demonstrate a breakthrough aerospace technology by a potential adversary,” the report states.
The intelligence community uses five separate categories to try to classify the objects, according to the report; but just one of the 144 sightings examined in the report was definitively placed into a category. Eighteen of the observed UFOs — or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), in U.S. government parlance — exhibited potentially advanced technology that the U.S. government does not completely understand; 11 included encounters in which vehicles came dangerously close to American personnel.
“The UAP we’ve documented … demonstrate an array of aerial behaviors, which really emphasizes the point that not all UAP are the same thing,” the official added. “There is not one single explanation for UAP.” Read More
