An intelligence official during the Trump administration has revealed that the U.S. government plans to release a declassified report that shares more information about UFO sightings than ever before.
On March 19, former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, “There are a lot more UFO sightings than have been made public.” He added that he had hoped to declassify the information and make it public before he left office, but that was not possible in such a short Time.
He said, “Some of it has been declassified. When we talk about sightings, we’re talking about objects that were seen by Navy or Air Force pilots, or captured on satellite maps. The movement of these objects is, frankly, inexplicable.” He added, “Those movements are difficult to replicate, and we don’t have the appropriate technology, or to fly at speeds above the sound barrier without a sonic boom.”
The intelligence official’s comments come about a year after the Pentagon released three videos of “unidentified aerial phenomena.” In these videos, U.S. Navy aircraft cameras captured objects that moved at unexplained speeds and confused pilots.
In response to the Pentagon’s release of the videos, former Nevada Democratic Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has pushed for an investigation into the UFO sightings. He wrote that the videos “only scratch the surface of what the federal government already has.”
Reid tweeted, “I’m glad the Pentagon has finally released this video, but it only scratches the surface of the research and material available.” “The United States needs to take a serious, scientific look at this issue and any potential impact on national security. The American people deserve to be informed.”
The U.S. Defense Department did not immediately return a reporter’s request for comment.
Ratcliffe added: “Another thing I’ll tell you when we talk about UFO sightings is that it’s not just a pilot or a satellite, or some intelligence gathering. Often, we have multiple sensors to capture these things, so again, some of these are just unexplained phenomena, and many more have actually been made public.”
Ratcliffe added that observers try to find possible scientific explanations for what they see, but sometimes that explanation is technically impossible.
He said, “Weather can cause interference, visual interference. Sometimes we wonder if our adversaries have more advanced technology than we think or we realize. But in some cases, we don’t have a good explanation for some of the things we see.”
The Defense Department will release the declassified report on UFOs by June 1, Bartiromo told the audience in the interview.
The report is funded by the $2.3 trillion COVID-19 (Chinese Communist Virus) outbreak relief and government spending bill. One of its provisions requires the Pentagon’s UAP Task Force to release to the Senate Intelligence Committee their current report on UFOs or “anomalous aerial vehicles” (AAVs) as a high-level aerial threat. The Pentagon’s UAP Task Force released to the Senate Intelligence Committee their current declassified information on the high-level aerial threat of UFOs or “anomalous vehicles.
Christopher Mellon, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence during the Clinton and Bush administrations, tweeted about this: “The newly enacted Intelligence Authorization Act (IAEA) incorporates statements to the Senate Intelligence The newly enacted Intelligence Authorization Act (IAEA) includes a reporting statement to the Senate Intelligence Committee requiring an unclassified, all-source report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). This was included in a joint explanatory statement accompanying the bill.”
