Pentagon launches task force to study UFO sightings

The Pentagon announced Friday that it is launching a task force to study unidentified flying objects after reports of sightings from service members.

The Pentagon said in a statement that Deputy Defense Secretary David Norquist approved the establishment of an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Task Force (UAPTF), which will fall under the Navy.

“The Department of Defense established the UAPTF to improve its understanding of, and gain insight into, the nature and origins of UAPs," the Pentagon said. "The mission of the task force is to detect, analyze and catalog UAPs that could potentially pose a threat to U.S. national security."

“The Department of Defense and the military departments take any incursions by unauthorized aircraft into our training ranges or designated airspace very seriously and examine each report. This includes examinations of incursions that are initially reported as UAP when the observer cannot immediately identify what he or she is observing.”

The agency first confirmed that it operated a program working to identify UFOs in 2017.

The task force’s formation follows the release of videos from the Department of Defense (DOD) of encounters between U.S. pilots and UFOs in April, noting that explanations for the flying objects or aircraft remain unclear.

Bipartisan lawmakers have long pushed for the creation of a body to study UFOs, with former Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) emerging as a chief proponent.

“The U.S. needs to take a serious, scientific look at this and any potential national security implications. The American people deserve to be informed,” he tweeted in April after the footage of the UFOs was released.

If so (intoned by Stacy Ketch), then alien researchers think they have more experience at revelation and know what they are doing, unlike the clueless humans

IMO, most,if not all, UFOs are experimental military aircraft.

[PLMerite]

I should have made myself plainer. Stumped/scared because they’re real and The Powers That Be have no idea what.

— or —

Psyops against earthly adversaries because these gizmos are ours.

I believe there is *something* weird to UFOs, but I don’t think it’s aliens from other planets.

[Bob Ireland]

Hasn’t the military already done this at least a half a dozen times over the years?

They are not ours in the conventional sense... since these objects have been seen for hundreds of years, they cannot be US in origin, but would have to belong to some other hidden Earth-dwelling group - if you care to hold that view.

Likely they are from some Earthly prehistory civilization destroyed on Earth Ages, if not Eons, ago and fled the planet.

mtDNA traces anatomically correct modern humans back 300,000 years (which places us originating squarely in the Middle Pleistocene Epoch), just in case you are wondering. Time enough for numerous civilizations like ours (of 6,000) years to have come, gone, and all remnants vanish utterly. Time enough for Someone to have gone to the stars.

I watched the original back in the 80s and the 2009 version as well. Frankly, I thought the latter was quite quite deliciously conservatively subversive.

Nice. Many freepers are from good genes.

In March of 1974, our first day for a mortar live fire demonstration before beginning our first training live fire, the TACs saw a deer a
Down range. The instructions grabbed the unassembled 81mm and blew the deer high into the air. I was hooked.

[Jumper]

We grew in Dayton hearing stories about 3 frozen little men from an AZ crash. Also that. Several live ones were treated and working there with USAF. We saw the fast movers in triplicate rCe the horizon and back from all directions in blues and whites uniting to a single mover numerous times.

Maybe the Navy will actually DO something with this. The Air Force finessed it for 70 years and lied their @$$es off. In my view, it’s only because the Navy and their pilots put some pressure on, regarding what they were experiencing, that this activity is being initiated. I NEVER, in 70 decades, saw any indication that the Air Force really gave a bleep.
