UFO’s fly into sight, raising suspicion among citizens in the U.S.
The Pentagon’s new office for investigating potential Unidentified Flying Objects, have recently received over hundreds of reports in 2022. Although many of these objects can be explained a good portion remains a puzzle.
In the summer of June 2021, an early report released a list of 144 reports of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings, over a 17 year period. Officials believe the cause of the rise in UAP, reports are due to “U.S. government efforts.” Many of these objects in the air were found to be balloons. According to NPR, Out of the 366 reports, only 195 of these objects were found to be unremarkable characteristics. 163 were found to be balloons and 26 were found to be various types of drones. Another six reports were attributed to clutter.
So far there have been no sightings of potential “alien” life. The All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office investigates Unidentified Flying Objects. UAP reports were recently expanded to include air and sea phenomena as well. According to NPR, the UAP reports were expanded to include, “objects or devices that are observed to transition between space and the atmosphere, or between the atmosphere and bodies of water, that are not immediately identifiable.”
In some recent years a retired U.S. Navy fighter pilot Alex Dietrich described seeing a highly unusual object off the coast of Southern California in 2004 after one of his colleagues spotted something in the water below them. The colleague described this object as roundish, oval-shaped and didn’t have any apparent flight control surfaces. This object was also described as bouncing around and changing course very quickly in a way the fighter pilots would not be able to maneuver their aircraft or even keep up with the one they saw.
Ronald Moultrie, an American intelligence official serving as the undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, believes there is no current sign of life. “We have not seen anything that would lead us to believe that any of the objects we have seen are of alien origin,” Moultrie said.
