See: Pentagon Releases Formerly Classified Clip of UFO Over Middle East
thestreet: The U.S. Pentagon is inundated over an issue that grips the public, but it has nothing to do with Ukraine, Russia, or China.
No, it’s all about UFOs -- now commonly referred to as UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomena) that whisk through the sky across the U.S.
According to government data, the Pentagon’s new office to investigate UAPs reported 650 reports since being formed in 2022. Of those, about half have been credentialed by the U.S. Anomaly Resolution Office as being worthy of investigation.
In those cases, an unconfirmed flying object "appears to have demonstrated unusual flight characteristics or performance capabilities, and require further analysis,” the agency reported.
Most Recent UAP Sighting Raises Questions
Now, the most recent UFO report of a supposed alien aircraft over the Middle East has people buzzing.
At an April 19 U.S. Senate hearing, the Anomaly Resolution Office (which, of course, investigates such phenomena) released a Department of Defense video of a UFO that was tracked by a U.S. military drone.
ARO analyst Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick from the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office told a Senate Armed Services subcommittee the small flying orb appeared over the Middle East last year.
“It is going to be virtually impossible to fully identify that, just based off of that video,” Kirkpatrick told the panel.
Kirkpatrick also cited a UFO that appeared over Southeast Asia in early 2023 that appeared to fly past a pair of U.S. MQ-9 drones. One drone was able to grab an intriguing video of what military analysts called a “propulsion trail” following the flying object.
At first ARO technicians cited the UFO as being “truly anomalous”. After a closer frame-by-frame study of the UFO, analysts concluded it was a “shadow image”.
The vast majority of UFO sightings follow the same investigative pattern – vivid public interest at first followed by either an “inconclusive” finding or an outright dismissal by military authorities.
In civilian terms those cases are “readily explainable”, Kirkpatrick said.
“In our research, AARO has found no credible evidence thus far of extraterrestrial activity, off-world technology, or objects that defy the known laws of physics,” Kirkpatrick told the Senate panel.
