UFOs Exist, Government Report Reveals
Out of 144 encounters with mysterious aircraft, 143 are literally unidentifiable, according to a newly released report to Congress.
In anticipation of the findings, our friends at BetOnline had released a series of UFO-tied wagering props, including alien attacks and first celebrity abduction.
The report doesn't tell us much however. And that could simply help to fuel further speculation about the phenomena, especially in conspiracy circles.
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. This was perhaps the only explanation being offered other than extraterrestrial life.
“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.
Even the Wall Street Journal offered the glaring headline: 'UFO Report Cites ‘Unidentified Aerial Phenomena’ That Defy Worldly Explanation'.
“Some of those could require some scientific advances on our part to allow us to better understand what it is that we’re observing,” said one of the officials. “It’s clear that we need to improve our capacity to further analyze remaining observations.”
The observations have been recorded over the past two decades, so it does not appear an alien attack is top priority....we can only hope.
Eighteen of the cases involved objects that displayed patterns of flight not well explained by current knowledge of propulsion and technology, the officials said.
Brett Forest of the Wall Street Journal writes:
In the report, ODNI establishes five categories for UAP sightings: airborne clutter such as birds and balloons; natural atmospheric phenomenon like thermal fluctuations; governmental or industrial developmental programs; foreign-adversary systems; and brief encounters for which there is too little information for more exact categorization.
Of the 144 UAP sighting reports, ODNI placed only one of the cases into any of categories—saying it resulted from airborne clutter—with the remainder lacking sufficient data for any classification, including as either foreign government or U.S. technology.
