To many, the long-awaited UFO report released by the Pentagon late last month came as a disappointment.
Months of waiting earned us a nine page report that more or less confirmed what we already suspected: the US government has no idea what a series of strange “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” (UAPs) could possibly be.
Reports of strange sightings made by US military pilots emerged after The New York Times published a series of mysterious videos in 2017, captured by military personnel and showing unidentified objects that seemed to defy the laws of physics.
The June report, though, did little to clarify what the videos showed.
