As the U.S. Congress held a hearing on UFOs for the first time in more than 50 years, two top U.S. defense intelligence officials said the Pentagon is committed to determining the origins of what the government calls ‘unidentified aerial phenomena’

WASHINGTON, May 17 - Two senior U.S. defense intelligence officials said on Tuesday the Pentagon is committed to determining the origins of what it calls "unidentified aerial phenomena" - commonly termed UFOs - but acknowledged many remain beyond the government's ability to explain.

The 2021 report, a nine-page "preliminary assessment" by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and a Navy-led task force, said 80% of UAP instances it reviewed were recorded on multiple instruments. Bray presented two UAP video clips. One showed flashing triangle-shaped objects in the sky, later determined to be visual artifacts of light passing through night-vision goggles. The other showed a shiny, spherical object zipping past a military aircraft's cockpit window - an observation Bray said remained unexplained.

While analysts must consider the possibility that an advanced aircraft might use "signature management" technology to conceal its flight capabilities, "we're not aware of any adversary that is capable of flying an aircraft without any discernable means of propulsion," Bray added.A parking sign at the Little A'Le'Inn as an influx of tourists responding to a call to 'storm' Area 51, a secretive U.S.

"Absolutely," Moultrie responded. "We're open to all hypotheses. We're open to any conclusions that we may encounter." Last year's report said UAP sightings probably lack a single explanation, with more data and analysis needed to determine whether they represent some exotic aerial system developed by a secret U.S. government or commercial entity or by a foreign power such as China or Russia. Atmospheric conditions, "airborne clutter" and pilot misperception could also be factors, it said.
