Intelligence agencies in the U.S. have spent the last few years analyzing footage of hundreds of recent unexplained phenomena and they want the American people to know that it's not aliens.
According to several Department of Defense officials who spoke to The New York Times (opens in new tab) last week, there have been a lot of recent reports of unexplained flying objects.
Several UAP incidents have been identified as Chinese drones. The Chinese are interested in how the U.S. trains its pilots, the officials said.
NASA has a study team that includes former astronauts.
The results of optical illusions are likely to be the reason for the other UAP reports. The video "GoFAST," which was recorded by a U.S. Navy aircraft and leaked to the media, is included. Two other leaked films of military encounters with UAPs were also declassified by the government.
The object is moving at no more than 30 mph.
The Times reported on the findings of the UAP report delivered to Congress. The new report adds new information to cases described in a document that officials publicly released in June 2021.
Most alleged UAP encounters could not be explained due to a lack of high quality data. The report offered a number of explanations for UAP, including "technologies deployed by China, Russia, another nation, or a non-governmental entity," as well as "airborne clutter" such as birds and weather balloons.
The government's lack of transparency about UAP incidents caused alien conspiracy theories to arise, even though there was no mention of aliens or extraterrestrials.
The government is committed to sharing whatever UAP information it can without putting national security at risk according to a Department of Defense spokeswoman. There isn't enough data to explain UAP incidents so government officials don't discuss them publicly.
"In many cases, observed phenomena are classified as 'unidentifiable' simply because sensors were not able to collect enough information to make a positive attribution," said Gough. We want to make sure we have enough data for our analysis.
An independent UAP study team has been launched by NASA, which will operate from October to mid-2023. To develop new methods for identifying the unidentifiable objects in America's skies, the team will focus on collecting and analyzing as much UAP data as possible.
