No Longer in Shadows, Pentagon's U.F.O. Unit Will Make Some Findings Public (archive)

Despite Pentagon statements that it disbanded a once-covert program to investigate unidentified flying objects, the effort remains underway — renamed and tucked inside the Office of Naval Intelligence, where officials continue to study mystifying encounters between military pilots and unidentified aerial vehicles.

Pentagon officials will not discuss the program, which is not classified but deals with classified matters. Yet it appeared last month in a Senate committee report outlining spending on the nation's intelligence agencies for the coming year. The report said the program, the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force, was "to standardize collection and reporting" on sightings of unexplained aerial vehicles, and was to report at least some of its findings to the public within 180 days after passage of the intelligence authorization act.

While retired officials involved with the effort — including Harry Reid, the former Senate majority leader — hope the program will seek evidence of vehicles from other worlds, its main focus is on discovering whether another nation, especially any potential adversary, is using breakout aviation technology that could threaten the United States.

The lede has been buried for your protection. Do not RTFA.

    Are you serious? Of course. They're not uncommon.

    Actually theyre only found in like a dozen restricted locations.

    I'd ask for a link proving your "theory" but you'd probably provide a link to dinosaursarenotreal.org.

    Is the restricted location thing like the way you flat earthers think Antarctica is restricted by NASA to prevent people seeing the ice wall or something?

          Blows my mind that trolls think getting someone to try and take them seriously and give real feedback is some kind of hilarious win. Good for you for trying, probably slim chance they are srs.

            That particular A/C posts the most absurd links to the weirdest backblocks of the Internet and expects me to accept they prove his point.

            I can't tell if he is mentally unwell, or just a below average 12 year old.
