According to an ex-intelligence chief, UFOs are able to display technology that the United States doesn't possess or lacks the ability against.John Ratcliffe was the final director of national Intelligence under President Donald Trump. He also oversaw the nation's 18 spy agencies. Ratcliffe made the observation while providing insight into a classified report on unidentified air phenomena that was released Friday by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.This long-awaited, but brief document covered 144 UFO reports that were received from U.S. government sources between 2004-2021. Eighty of the reports included multiple sensors and described UFOs that disrupted preplanned military training or other military operations. According to the ODNI report, only a few UFOs were able to display advanced technology. In 18 cases, 21 reports describe UAP movements or flight characteristics.Ratcliffe made his first public response to the unclassified ODNI ODNI report. He told Fox News' Dan Bongino, a Saturday episode on Unfiltered, that UFOs are a matter national security. He also stressed that the number of UFOs observed is unknown.This report was started when I was DNI. It was something I hoped to get out before I left. It was hard to get that information out at a public level, Ratcliffe stated. The bottom line is that unidentified aerial phenomena can be explained away in many cases. This could include visual disturbances or weather phenomena, foreign adversaries or their technologies or our own experimental technologies with specific aircraft and vehicles. But, this report highlights that while the exact number is classified, there are many instances where we have ruled it out.Continue the storyRatcliffe said: There are technologies we don't have, and frankly, we aren't capable of defending against those technologies based on the things that weve seen. Multiple sensors. In other words, multiple sensors are able to see where it is picked up by radar or satellites. It is a matter of national security. As someone who informed policymakers about threats to national security, it is not easy to say "Gosh, we don't have good answers."CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION FROM THE WASHINGTON XAMINERAfter the Defense Department had announced that it had approved the establishment of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force in August, the ODNI report was classified as an unclassified "preliminary analysis." A 180-day directive was prepared by the Senate Intelligence Committee for such a disclosure. It was part of the $2.3 trillion coronavirus relief bill and funding bill that Trump signed into Law in December.UAPs were seen to move in a variety of directions, including against wind gusts, stalling, moving at great speed and maneuvering abruptly. A small number of UAP sightings were processed by military aircraft systems using radio frequency energy. According to the intelligence community, Friday's statement by UAPTF stated that a limited amount of data was held by the UAPTF which appears to show UAP showing acceleration or some degree of signature management."We were able to identify one UAP reported with high confidence, but all the others remain unexplained," the assessment stated.The ODNI did not draw any conclusions about the UFOs.According to the intelligence community assessment, "There are likely multiple types of UAP that require different explanations based upon the range of appearances or behaviors described in the available reports." Our analysis of the data supports our belief that individual UAP incidents will be resolved if they fall within one of five possible explanation categories: natural atmospheric phenomena, airborne clutter, U.S. government and U.S. sector developmental programs, foreign adversary system, and an 'other' bin.The intelligence community warned that UAP could be technologies being deployed by China, Russia or another country. The UAPTF will focus more analysis on those cases in which a UAP appears to have unusual signature management or flight characteristics.The ODNI stated that UFOs could also pose a threat to national security if they were foreign adversary collection platforms, or provide evidence that a potential adversary developed either a breakthrough technology or disruptive technology.The UAPTF focused its review on UAP reports between 2004 and 2021. Most UAP reported likely represent physical objects, given that most UAP were registered across multiple sensors to include radar and infrared as well as electro-optical and weapon seekers.John Brennan, former Obama CIA Director, stated on a December podcast that "some phenomena we will be seeing continues to remain unexplained" and that it could be the result of something we don't yet understand. This could be some kind of activity that some might call a different type of life.The ODNI report did not mention the possibility that UFOs could be extraterrestrial in origin.CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION FROM THE WASHINGTON XAMINERFlorida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio chaired the Senate Intelligence Committee that requested the ODNI report about UFOs. He said Friday that the Defense Department (and the Intelligence Community) still have a lot to do before we can determine if these threats are a serious national security threat.Through the Freedom of Information Act, Navy videos were made last year that showed UFOs moving at amazing speeds and performing incredible aerial maneuvers. The Pentagon has confirmed that many other videos it claimed it was reviewing have been authenticated, but it did not say what conclusions it had drawn about them.Washington Examiner VideosTags: News.
