It can be difficult to discuss unidentified flying objects, especially for a government. While some may dismiss reports as fantasy, others argue that whatever is going on could be a threat to national security.
“In the past, pilots were afraid to report these strange things happening—for fear it would affect their advancement in the officer corps,” former Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., told Nextgov in this episode of Critical Update. While he was in Congress, Reid helped secure funding for the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, a quiet, UFO-studying effort that became public in late 2017. That group is now considered a precursor to the Pentagon’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force.
“The one thing that we established is that not a dozen people have seen these occurrences. Not 100 of them. Thousands of people have seen them,” Reid explained. People have long been intrigued by the thought of “little green men,” and, according to the former Senate Majority Leader, it’s what people he randomly encounters often ask him about.
Today, little is known about the modern UAP Task Force, a secretive unit investigating reports of what appear to be unexplainable aircraft, zipping across American skies. But soon, some federal personnel will have to provide certain members of Congress with information about what the government does know about UFOs—and who might be behind them.
Regardless of whether these sightings originate from another planet or an earthbound adversary, sophisticated technologies do exist to study hard-to-decipher, seemingly alien-related observations.
Dr. Joseph Pesce, an astrophysicist and program director in the National Science Foundation’s division of astronomical sciences provided a brief glimpse into some of the different tools humans could tap to “understand the universe around us and our part in it.” Pesce pondered the likelihood of multiple out-of-this-world possibilities, including the existence of life in outer space and UFOs’ potential to make it to Earth.
“Space travel is difficult—for many reasons,” he said. Still, Pesce later added, “I’m not arrogant enough to think that we know everything about nature and the universe, and the laws of nature.”

Another peek at what they would really like to tell us.
Harry Reid’s right! Space alien Jesus and space alien Lucifer were bros and came here from Kobol and settled in Utah with some Italian space alien named Moroni.
Thanks for posring the truth. I thought this was just going to be a reid family money laundering pyramid scheme.
Harry fell off his exercise machine (I forget her name) again?
Ignore the junta and wire and fencing.
Harry Reid wants to talk about UFOs!
Every Mormon I ever met was a fake nice, creepy, conniving jerkoff.
They are an anti-American, space alien worshipping, magic underwear wearing cult.
Reid, Romney, Lee, Flake, Hatch...All sellout lowlifes.
Religions come in many shapes and sizes. This country was founded by those who believed we should be able to choose what religion we wanted to. The only Religion I truly hate and would like to see go away is Islam.
The UFO nuts are either delusional or being dishonest.
They can believe in their crap all they want. They aren’t pro America and they aren’t nice. They’re a creepy cult. I’m not looking to outlaw them. Just want people to realize that Mormons are in it for themselves and couldn’t care less about America. Would have been better if they stayed in Mexico.
Agree on Islam. It’s a cancer on the Earth.
Harry Reid has a billionaire friend who is a UFO nut. Follow the money.
They have a bit in common.

It’s a totalitarian political system that uses religion as a beard.
That's funny!
LOL
In 1903 the Wright brothers flew an rickety aircraft 10 feet off the ground for 40 yards. In 1915 fighters were hitting 16,000 feet and 130 mph. In 1946 I remember seeing a newspaper headline blare “RADAR BOUNCED OFF THE MOON!” In 1969 we LANDED there, fer Chrissakes.
So in a mere 66 years we went from a flying kite to short-range space travel. In 2020 we have a robot exploring Mars and sending back razor-sharp images.
What are we going to find out in the coming 100 years? I can see some lab guys having a Eureka moment as they discover warp drive.
That’s why I discount those who pooh-pooh aliens or mock them as nuts. No one knows what 1903-2020 type of advancements are just around the corner.
Smaller facial features and big forehead...youre thinking grey hybrid...good eye :)
