U.S. military personnel reported 247 new UFO sightings between March 2021 and August 2022, officials said in a major report released Thursday, with some of the objects having “demonstrated unusual flight characteristics or performance capabilities” that cannot be explained.
The latest report from the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) seems to mark a significant step forward in the government’s ongoing research into UFOs.
Officials said the new study makes clear that U.S. military personnel are less reluctant to come forward with their experiences than in years past, making it easier for the government to gather data on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).
