The Defense Department confirmed that leaked videos and photos of an “unidentified aerial phenomena” are real — and a sign that there are unexplained objects out there, according to CNN.
- The leaked phots and videos were shared on Mystery Wire and on Extraordinary Beliefs.
Pentagon spokesperson Sue Gough told CNN the leaked photos and videos — which are from 2019 and show triangle objects blinking as they move through clouds — are real.
- “As we have said before, to maintain operations security and to avoid disclosing information that may be useful to potential adversaries, DOD does not discuss publicly the details of either the observations or the examinations of reported incursions into our training ranges or designated airspace, including those incursions initially designated as UAP,” Gough said, according to CNN.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force — which was created in August 2020 to review UFO sightings — has decided to add “these incidents in their ongoing examinations.”
In April 2020, the Pentagon shared three videos of unidentified objects flying in 2004 and 2015, The Guardian reports. The release included audio from pilots who were shocked at what they were seeing.
More UFO reports on the way
Former intelligence director John Ratcliffe said in an interview with Fox News in March that more reports on UFOs would soon be made public. He said an upcoming report — which will be released because there was language in the Trump COVID-19 relief bill that called for it to be shared — would include information from “all over the world.”
- “There are instances where we don’t have good explanations for some of the things that we’ve seen,” he said, according to USA Today. “And when that information becomes declassified, I’ll be able to talk a little bit more about that.”
