US released long-awaited UFO report, left more doubts than certainties

The wait is over. And those who were on hold were probably disappointed. The US intelligence service published on Friday his much-desired report on UFOs, even if he did not clarify anything on the subject and left more questions than certainties.

Although the agency acknowledges that dozens of phenomena observed by military pilots could not be explained, it notes that it is likely there is “no single explanation” for these phenomena.

“Currently, we do not have enough information in our databases to attribute these incidents to specific causes,” adds the text published by the office of the director of national intelligence.

In this report, which lists the incidents that occurred between 2004 and 2021, which it describes as “unidentified aerial phenomenon ” o FANI, the American intelligence services admit that they have no explanation for more than 140 phenomena. But all the information collected remains “inconclusive”.

“Of the 144 reports we are dealing with here, we have no clear indication that there is an explanation not land for them, but we’ll go where the data takes us, ”he added.

All but one of the cases, attributed to “air disturbance,” remain unexplained and are under further analysis, US officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity to reporters on the report. a briefing describing the findings of the report.

Eighteen of the 144 cases exhibited unusual movement or flight characteristics that surprised those who observed them.

Some could be explained by the presence of drones or birds which disturb the radar systems of the American army; others could be the result of tests of military equipment or technology by other powers.

Last year, the Pentagon released videos taken by US Navy pilots showing mid-flight encounters with what appeared to be UFOs. One of these recordings dates from November 2004 and the two others from January 2015.

After decades of secrecy, Congress last year ordered the executive to brief the general public on the activities of the Pentagon unit responsible for studying the phenomenon.

The US military is trying to determine if the phenomenon could be linked to threats against the United States.

The acceleration of objects filmed by pilots and their ability to change direction are difficult to explain. And US intelligence agencies fear that China or Russia are testing hypersonic technologies, which travel at 10 or even 20 times the speed of sound, and are very manageable, according to a US official quoted by the press.

“This report, which does not offer a clear conclusion, is only the beginning of efforts to explain the causes of aviation risks in many parts of the country and the world,” they said in a statement.

“The United States must be able to understand and reduce the threats to our pilots, whether they come from drones, weather balloons, or the intelligence capabilities of our adversaries,” he added.
