For over a decade, the program, now tucked inside the Office of Naval Intelligence, has discussed mysterious events in classified briefings.
Despite Pentagon statements that it disbanded a once-covert program to investigate unidentified flying objects, the effort remains underway — renamed and tucked inside the Office of Naval Intelligence, where officials continue to study mystifying encounters between military pilots and unidentified aerial vehicles.
Pentagon officials will not discuss the program, which is not classified but deals with classified matters. Yet it appeared last month in a Senate committee report outlining spending on the nation’s intelligence agencies for the coming year. The report said the program, the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force, was “to standardize collection and reporting” on sightings of unexplained aerial vehicles, and was to report at least some of its findings to the public every six months.
While retired officials involved with the effort — including Harry Reid, the former Senate majority leader — hope the program will seek evidence of vehicles from other worlds, its main focus is on discovering whether another nation, especially any potential adversary, is using breakout aviation technology that could threaten the United States.
Senator Marco Rubio, the Florida Republican who is the acting chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, told a CBS affiliate in Miami this month that he was primarily concerned about reports of unidentified aircraft over American military bases — and that it was in the government’s interest to find out who was responsible. He expressed concerns that China or Russia or some other adversary had made “some technological leap” that “allows them to conduct this sort of activity.”
Mr. Rubio said some of the unidentified aerial vehicles over U.S. bases possibly exhibited technologies not in the American arsenal. But he also noted: “Maybe

Well, we’re waiting!
I was listening to Glenn Beck and he interviewed to former government workers, one of which may have been Pompeo.
He said that it the unidentified ships have been becoming too undeniable to keep it secret. He said, in one encounter, pilots were war gaming and the vessel in question went into the middle of the dog fighters and were daring the pilots to try something.
It should be interested as to what it released.
Lol. Guess we know why we can’t win wars, we spend taxyer dollars to lie en masse And the hymalayas will melt by 2020. These guys wouldn’t lie to you.
No doubt if there was anything, he sold it to the Chinese.
Some of the MOST interesting interviews I’ve heard on UFO’s have been by Joe Rogan- he has really delved into this. Fascinating.
With two secrets you get egg roll ;-)
The left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is up to.
I’d rather have crab Rangoon.
The local place that made the best is sadly closed.
The taxpayers have poured billions of dollars into the place, and maybe, just maybe, if we are really nice, they may tell us a little bit....
Gag me with a spoon!
Since most of the alleged “sightings” are near US military air bases, if it’s the Russians , Chinese or whatever, you might as well hang it up when they perform physically impossible maneuvers at literally out-of-this world speeds as they buzz the crap outta you, at will.
“daring the pilots to try something.”

In Martian or Venustian? Either way, good thing we put universal translators on our craft!
The Navy will finally admit the existence of Plan 9 From Outer Space.
Thx for posting, bitt.
Bkmk.
Preparing for the big space alien hoax?
It’s obvious alien spacecraft have been coming to Earth.
I’m sure the Pentagon hasn’t possession of the ship that Nancy Pelosi and Lori Lightfoot arrived on.
