The United States Intelligence Agency, CIA, has finally released the highly anticipated report on UFO sightings.
The report was released on Friday afternoon, local time, and it does not have any evidence to back aliens behind the flying Objects.
The reports made it clear that American Intelligence Officials do not believe in any alien interference behind the UFO sightings.
The report confirms that the observed phenomena are not part of any US military operations.
Scientists prefer the term Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) instead of Unidentified Flying Objects(UFO).
The Pentagon studied over 140 incidents reported by navy pilots of UAP seen over the last two decades for the report. Many were seen from the summer of 2014 into the spring of 2015.
While the report said that some incidents could be the result of technical errors in sensors or observers, it noted that most of the UAP reported: “probably do represent physical objects” since they were registered across multiple sensors.
The only UAP intelligence officials were able to identify “with high confidence” turned out to be “a large, deflating balloon”.
“The others remain unexplained,” the report reads.
The release of the report caps a six-month wait since a group of elected officials succeeded in including the Intelligence Authorization Act for the fiscal year 2021 in a $2.3tn coronavirus relief bill signed by Donald Trump last December.
The act ordered government agencies to provide a declassified “detailed analysis of unidentified aerial phenomena data and intelligence” and “a detailed description of an interagency process” for reporting UAP.
In August, the Pentagon resurrected a UAP investigations arm, calling it the UAP Task Force and directing it to “detect, analyze and catalog UAPs that could potentially pose a threat to US national security”. The task force and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence authored the report.
The report notes that only since 2019 has the government had a standardized reporting system for UAPs, so “limited data and inconsistency in reporting” were challenges in investigations.
“The limited amount of high-quality reporting on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) hampers our ability to draw firm conclusions about the nature or intent of UAP,” the report reads.
